Thunderstore Mod Manager
What Thunderstore Mod Manager is
Thunderstore Mod Manager is a Windows desktop application for downloading and managing mods for supported games. Its built-in source connects with Thunderstore’s mod database and API, where developers upload mods and managers retrieve them. Listed games include Lethal Company, REPO, Valheim, How to Fish, PEAK, Risk of Rain 2, Dyson Sphere Program, and BONEWORKS, among others. The manager installs mods directly, identifies outdated mods, and updates them. Users can edit configurations, switch between separate mod profiles, and export profiles with their mods and settings to friends. The Free plan costs nothing and includes installation, management, profiles, profile export, and update viewing. A Premium option removes ads and unlocks premium features, but no price is listed. Downloading the desktop application installs the Overwolf Client, and the manager is not made for mobile.
