    GDPatch first

    Every mod runs on GDPatch: put gdpatch_loader.dll next to CICADAMATA.exe and rename it winmm.dll.

  2. 02
    QOL mod

    The mods hub, from the releases page. Unzip it into the game folder: settings show under Options > MODS.

  3. 03
    Open the game folder

    Steam: right-click CICADAMATA > Manage > Browse local files.

  4. 04
    Unzip it there

    Zips already hold GDPatch\mods\<mod>. CASCADE, SKIN KIT and every mod drop in the same way.

  5. 05
    Play

    Finish the campaign once: EXTRA shows LEVEL EDITOR and CASCADE. Mods live under EXTRA > CASCADE > MODS.
