Frequently Asked Questions

How do downloads work?

Every mod page shows the active build, compatible game versions, and a changelog from the modder. Guest downloads are enabled, but signing in gives you follows, notifications, and a cleaner library. Premium mods require a signed-in account so access can be checked before download. Downloads are logged for analytics.

How do I publish a mod?

Create an account, follow the How to Become a Modder guide, then open the Modder Dashboard. Verify your email and approve the Modder Rules in the onboarding checklist to unlock its tools. Then use the upload flow to add details, screenshots, and files. Mods enter review, move to Approved once cleared, and can be unpublished when outdated.

Can I sell premium mods on Modsy?

Yes. You can sell premium mods on Modsy. For current availability, requirements, and limits, see the Modder Membership plans. Premium mods must also follow the selected game's publisher rules and Terms of Service.

How does Early Access work, and does it use a separate plan limit?

Modder Membership plans can schedule a release for up to 30 days of Early Access. Subscribers get that release first. When the period ends, that release becomes the mod's main version. For a free mod, it is free to download; for a Premium mod, it becomes the main Premium version and the mod remains Premium. Premium and Early Access mods use the same plan allowance. If a count limit applies, a mod using both features counts only once. See the Modder Membership plans for current allowances. All uploaded mod files count toward your included storage.

Will Modsy automatically upgrade or charge my Modder Membership?

No. Each plan can include a maximum amount of Modsy-linked monthly subscription value before provider fees. If your verified revenue exceeds the configured limit, you have 7 days to choose an upgrade. Modsy will not change your plan or charge you automatically. After grace, free mods remain public and existing subscribers keep their entitled access, while new public premium access is temporarily unavailable until you are back within your plan limit. You must explicitly initiate and confirm every paid checkout or plan change.

What happens if I cancel a paid Modder Membership?

Cancellation stops renewal. Paid features remain available through the provider-confirmed paid-through date, then premium management becomes read-only until another approved membership arrangement is active. Modsy does not delete or automatically hide your existing content because modder billing ends, and supporters keep access they have already paid for according to their own entitlement period.

How do players unlock premium mods?

Sign in, open the premium mod page, and choose one of the modder's available access options. Some premium mods may use Patreon, some may use Lemon Squeezy subscription checkout, and some may offer either path.

Where can modders find setup guides?

Open the Modder Documentation for step-by-step guides to Patreon, Lemon Squeezy, and Desktop App Auth API. Desktop developers can also use the Desktop Auth API reference.

What files and media can I upload?

Your Modder Membership plan shows the normal mod-file, image-size, and image-count limits that apply to your uploads. Every mod can also include up to 5 optional videos. Add a concise summary, full description, compatibility tags, and a changelog to help players choose the right build.

Can players download without an account?

Guest downloads are enabled on this deployment. When disabled, sign-in keeps mod analytics, follows, and notifications accurate for both players and modders.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Profile Settings > Security, then enter your username in the delete account section. Once the username matches, the delete account button becomes available. Account deletion permanently removes your profile and associated content where deletion is technically possible.

How are reports handled?

Mods and comments include built-in reporting. Flag issues like stolen content, malware, or harassment and the team will review and remove content that violates the Platform Rules or Terms of Service.
