Subnautica 2 Mod Manager

What Subnautica 2 Mod Manager is
Subnautica 2 Mod Manager is a free, open-source Windows application for managing Subnautica 2 modifications locally. It handles PAK content mods and UE4SS script or blueprint mods from loose files and archives. You can add mods by dragging them in or using a button; ZIP, RAR, and 7Z files are extracted and classified automatically. Imported mods are stored in a packed, LZMA-compressed Data.dat library, while the game folder contains enabled mods from the active profile. The manager supports enabling, disabling, reordering, conflict detection, and named profiles with separate mod sets and load orders. It can install UE4SS after checking its GitHub hash, and install ReShade and shader packs with profile presets and certificate verification. Profiles can be shared peer-to-peer or as offline .s2profile files. It launches the game through Steam and requires Windows 10 or 11 on x64.
