If you are an avid PC game but didn’t get to play Torchlight II on PC, you might have got wind of it following the latest port to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Runic Games released the action role-play dungeon crawler to MS Windows back in 2012. As it is the norm with such PC games, the title has gathered a huge number of mods that are, in my opinion, why the PC version is still better than the console ports.
How to Install a Mod for Torchlight 2
Installing mods in Torchlight II is simple as long as it’s still in the pre-guts stage. All you have to do is unpack the zipped mode file and drop into the right directory.
All mods should go to the PAK directory. The location of this folder varies depending on where you got your game.
For Runic Downloaded Games
If you got your game straight from the Runic, you can find will find the folder here:
C:\Program Files\Torchlight II\PAKS
Steam Downloaded Game
If you downloaded the game via steam, you will find the PAK directory under the programs file (x86 or just program files depending on your system)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Torchlight II\PAKS
Once you’ve located the folders, all you have to do is extract the 2 PAK files on your downloaded ZIP file (SYNERGIESV142.ZIP).
You can either extract them to the desktop before moving them to the PAK folder or highlight and drag ‘n drop them to the right PAK directory straight from your ZIP archive viewer.
