All Wii U mods should work on both the console and Cemu, but most Switch mods have format differences and aren't cross-compatible with the Wii U version of the game. In addition, many mods are only compatible with the latest 1.5.0 version of BotW. | All Wii U mods should work on both the console and Cemu, but most Switch mods have format differences and aren't cross-compatible with the Wii U version of the game. In addition, many mods are only compatible with the latest 1.5.0 version of BotW. | ||
Note that any mods which edit any of the same files as each other will probably be incompatible and cause issues. Sometimes, mods that edit different files can also be unexpectedly incompatible. If you are using multiple mods and you find glitches, please figure out which mod / combination of mods is causing the issue before reporting it to the mod creator(s). | |||

Warning: If you have ever booted into custom firmware (CFW) on your Switch console in the past, and then proceed to go online, there is a risk of the console being banned from Nintendo's online services (including eShop and game updates). This risk is reduced if you are sensible and only use mods on offline games (don't install NSPs or pirate games!) | |||
=== Setting up homebrew === | |||
Follow [https://guide.sdsetup.com this guide] to set up your Switch console to use homebrew software. | |||
This tutorial uses Atmosphere CFW. Using SXOS CFW is not reccomended, as unlike Atmosphere, it costs money, uses stolen code (from Atmosphere!), and is closed source, making it impossible to check how safe it is to use. | |||
=== Installing mods === | |||
# In the root of your MicroSD card, there should be a folder named <code>atmosphere</code>, <code>sxos</code>, or <code>reinx</code>, depending on which CFW you are using. | |||
# Within that folder, there should be a folder named <code>titles</code>. Inside that, create a folder with the name of your game's Title ID. For BotW on Switch, the Title ID is <code>01007EF00011E000</code>. | |||
# Inside that, make a folder called <code>romfs</code>. Your mod files will go in here. (Mods will often include all or part of this folder structure already, to make things easy.) | |||
To use the mod, simply boot the console into CFW, then boot the game, and the mod will be active. | |||
