SimpleModDownloader is a Switch homebrew that allows you to download mod directly on your console.

SimpleModDownloader is based on the extensive gamebanana database. The idea of the app comes from SimpleModManager.

Features

  • Downloads from gamebanana directly from your Switch.
  • Install mods directly from your Switch with SimpleModManager.

Installation

Place the .nro file on your SD card in the /switch/ folder.

Launch the homebrew from the homebrew launcher.

At the root of your SDcard, create a /mods/ folder.

  • Tree structure : /mods/<NameOfTheGame>/<NameOfTheMod>/<ModTreeStructureFromAtmosphereFolder>
  • For plugins: /mods/<NameOfTheGame>/.plugins/<NameOfTheNro>.smm
    • Example : /mods/The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild/First Person View/contents/01007EF00011E000/romfs/Actor/Pack/GameRomCamera.sbactorpack
