Mod with own card games?

[Neduz]

Hi!
TCG is a fantastic game so far. But I read something about the possibility to mod your own cards into the game. Is there a way to do that? Can I use tts-files (Tabletop Simulator) and import them in some way or is modding prohibited? I figured there's no Steam Workshop but still read about some people doing it. I thought I'd ask at least!

Modding is not prohibited, but it's only doable through external programs at the moment. Check the Nexus mod site, there's plenty of premade texture replacers, and most of them will have links to the mod used to do the replacement.

I'm right now using a Hololive mod that has 11k different cards, and I used a Pokemon mod that had that same amount of cards too. Collector's hell, but after being done with the base game, replaying the game without something to keep you busy gets boring quickly.

I can see that! Can I use these external programs to add my own cards?

Yes, that's how the many retexture mods in the Nexus happened. I used an older version of the mods used for the 11k cards pack to try making my own "mixed TCGs" mod, but it was a lot of work - and some of the mods that exist are already good enough to keep me busy opening hundreds of packs per minute (thanks to another mod.)

Edit to clarify: The developer of this game don't seem to be against modding, but they also don't seem to have providing an in-game mod manager (or Workshop integration) high on the to-do list.

the merchandise within the store matches the cards, why change that for the sake of having image of something you like more than cartoon characters within a game

Thank you for the information! This was exactly what I was after. Thanks!

In my case it's because I'm working on my own card game within a different genre (horror) and I think it would be cool if I could be able to sell my card game within the game. A fun little thing.

The merchandise, wallpaper, billboard, floor and tables all match whatever texture pack I'm using, because the mods I'm using aren't as half-assed as the mentality of mod haters can be.

Sure, there are mediocre mods too. I don't use them, and I generally block their authors so the nexus list isn't packed full of "lolz I maed mod of pokaymong."
