Getting Started
This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get you up and running with all the latest mods.
Step 1: Check Your Game Version
Ensure you know your Skater XL version, as mod compatibility varies by version. Check the version at launch in the lower-left corner; v1.2.2.8 and v1.2.10.4 are the most common.
Step 2: Changing Game Versions (Optional)
To switch versions, right-click Skater XL in Steam, select Properties > Betas, then choose from the dropdown.
Step 3: Download UnityModManager
Download the UnityModManager application to start installing mods. This tool is essential for managing and installing all Skater XL script mods. You will need to log in to Nexus Mods in order to download the file.
The latest UnityModManager has been updated to work with any version of Skater XL. Make sure to select "Skater XL v1.2.2.8" as your game if you are playing on the Alpha branch.
