Sonic Adventure 2 – How to Install Mods

Wanna know how to get your favorite mods in Sonic Adventure 2? This is the guide for you, in just a couple of steps, you’ll get mods working in no time.

Prerequisites

You’ll need a couple of things before you can get mods working.

First, you’ll need:

• SA2 Mod Loader
• 7-Zip

In order for the mod loader to work correctly you’ll need to install these packages:

• Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package
• Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package
• Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package
• .NET Framework 4.8 Runtime

Installing the Mod Loader

Now we’ll need to get the mod loader into the game folder itself, in order to do that do this:

• Open Steam and right-click Sonic Adventure 2.
• In the menu it opened, go through Manage > Browse local files.
• Now with the game folder open, open the SA2ModLoader.7z file you just downloaded and extract everything inside it there.

Once you open the mod loader it will automatically install the files it needs to make the mods work in-game so no more clicking on that Install loader button anymore!

Installing Mods

Now, this is the fun part, getting the mods in-game.

Get your favorite mod that you want from:

• GameBanana
• MainMemory’s Page
• SF94’s Page

For example, I’ll be using Super Sonic Mod from MainMemory’s page. In order to install the mod you need to:

• Open the file containing the mod.
• Go to the game folder and extract every file into the mods folder.

It should look like this:

Alternatively, you can go to the mod loader options and click the Install URL Handler button to make this process automatically be done for you with the GameBanana 1-Click Install.

After that all you need to do is enable the mod you just installed which is done like this:
