How to Mod Payday 2 in 2025! | Full Modding Tutorial

[@RedArcherLive]

Yes this was uploaded in 2020 - but I renamed it to 2025 because it still works. It's still the comprehensive modding guide - and no, none of the links are dangerous or contain viruses. You're all good! What mods have you/will you/would you install for Payday 2? Let me know! Thanks so much to the following $10+ patrons who want to share special messages as part of their Patreon rewards: ButteredTV: "press like for big booty bitches" MrWombat: "You can change this message at any time, and as many times as you want, just tell me and it'll take effect from the NEXT video onwards after you tell me :)" AskingWalnut: "The real treasure was the medic bags we found along the way"

[@Cameister]

Please like so more people see 1. You don’t need to download the first link in the BLT page, just the second one as you already have a better version on windows 10 installed 2. You can access the steam files of a game easier just by right clicking on the game in the steam library >manage >browse local files 3. Use the free trial of winrar if 7zip isn’t working as 7zip is trash

[@scyobiempire4450]

winrar doesn't decompress any non .rar folder, leading to bit corruption and broken files that didn't unzip themselves. 7Zip handles every single zip type, even those used in Windows 7

Hey, I downloaded mods, but I can’t join/have people join public lobbies. Help?

Did you install Big Lobby? That mod only allows you to join lobbies with people who have that mod installed, so you need to remove it to fix that.

[@eduman2106]

Go to Options, then Beardlibeditor menu. Click on the options tab. Then under the "Main" heading click "Enable Physics Fix". Click "Yes" then online play should be enabled. That's what worked for me. Also, sorry I'm late lol
