This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of modding Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix on the Epic Games Store. Please note that the process is similar for the PS2 version, but this guide is focused on the Epic Games Store.
Step 1: Download OpenKH Mod Manager
Before you can start modding, you need a mod manager called OpenKH.
- Visit the OpenKH GitHub repository to download OpenKH.
- Once downloaded, create a new folder on your desktop (or any preferred location) to keep all the files organized.
- Extract the OpenKH files into the newly created folder.
Make sure not to extract them directly onto your desktop, as there are numerous files, and it can clutter your desktop.
Step 2: Get Mods
Now, it’s time to find and download the mods you want to use. The best place to find Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix mods is Nexus Mods:
- Visit the Nexus Mods Kingdom Hearts 2 page to get your favorite mods.
- Browse the available mods, and select the ones you want. We’ll use “Kingdom Hearts 1 Sora” as an example in this guide.
- Download the mods you want, but keep in mind that you may need to create a Nexus Mods account.
- Click on the Files tab on the specific mod page then press the ‘Manual download’ button and finally press the ‘Slow Download’ as the faster one is for the premium account.
Step 3: Install Mod Manager
- Run the ‘Openkh.Tools.ModManager.exe’ file from the downloaded Mod Manager files. You can also create a shortcut of this application file to save your time in the future.
- Once the setup wizard appears choose the game edition.
- Then go to the game directory inside the Epic Games folder and select the game folder.
- Press the Next button a couple of times until you see the ‘Extract game data’ tab and press it.
- Ensure you have enough space on the drive for the game data.
- Press the ‘Finish’ button and it will then launch the OpenKH mod manager.
Step 4: Install Mods
Time to install the mods you’ve downloaded:
- From the Mod Manager, select the mods you want to install.
- The mods should be in the “KH2PCPATCH” format, as they are specifically for the PC version of the game on the Epic Games Store.
- Click on “Mods” in the Mod Manager and select “Install a New Mod”.
- Choose the mods you downloaded from your desktop or your preferred location.
- Install each of the selected mods.
Step 5: Build Your Game
To ensure your mods are applied to the game, follow these steps:
- Click on “Mod Loader” in the Mod Manager.
- Choose ‘Build Only’. This action will build the game with the mods integrated into it.
Step 6: Play the Game with Mods
Now it’s time to enjoy your modded Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix:
- Launch the game through the Epic Games Store.
- You’ll notice that your mods are now active if you see Kingdom Hearts one outfit.
By following these steps you can successfully modify Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix on the Epic Games Store.
