Genshin Impact is one of the most popular gacha games and fans might wonder how to use mods and whether they might get banned for using them.
The gacha game Genshin Impact has excellent 3D graphics and open-world exploration in the category. These reasons coupled with the gameplay have made miHoYo’s game a hit among players. Despite having competitors like Wuthering Waves and Infinity Nikki, Genshin is easily one of the most successful gacha games. Players can personalize their damage using the best build and weapons for characters, though some may want to take things to the next level.
Many players wonder whether they can use mods to change textures or character models. Here’s how to use mods in Genshin Impact and whether using them is a bannable offense.
How to use mods in Genshin Impact
To use mods in Genshin Impact players, need to download third-party software and manually download their desired mods.
Using mods in Genshin is a simple process but it requires players to download a third-party application, GIMP. The Genshin Impact Mod Porter allows players to import custom models into the game. These can range from turning Paimon into a floating block of cheese to giving playable characters personalized outfits.
Players can follow the mentioned steps to start modifying Genishin Impact –
- Download 3DMigoto (GIMP)
- Unzip the downloaded archive
- Download mods from GameBanana
- Create a mods folder in 3DMigoto’s directory
- Unzip the downloaded mods into the mods folder in 3DMigoto’s directly
- Launch 3DMigoto Loader
- Launch Genshin
- Players will hear a beep signifying that the mods are working
Can I get banned for using mods in Genshin?
Using mods in Genshin Impact is against the terms of service and players can get banned if caught.
According to miHoYo’s TOS, using any third-party software in Genshin Impact can lead to a ban. Even simple cosmetic changes that change the appearance or scenery can trigger the anti-cheat. This is different from other games that generally allow mods that don’t give players an unfair advantage. That strictness makes sense since Genshin Impact offers alternate character outfits for a premium price.
The possibility of getting banned when using mods that don’t tamper with Genshin Impact’s original files is lower. However, getting caught by Genshin’s anti-cheat once can result in the entire account getting nuked by miHoYo. Many players report that using simple visual mods don’t lead to getting banned, but there are no guarantees.
