Install Lovely and Steamodded
Follow the current Lovely and Steamodded project instructions. Start Balatro once after the loader is installed, before adding a large content mod.

Add one mod and check it

Start with your operating system
Use the current Steamodded and Lovely pages for Windows, Mac or Linux. They distinguish the Balatro game folder from the Mods folder.
Test a small first mod
Start the game after the loader, then add one mod from its author’s instructions. Check its dependencies and release notes before adding the next one.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I put a Balatro mod?
Use the Mods folder named in the Lovely and Steamodded instructions for your operating system; it is distinct from the game folder.
