Important Notices & Key Changes
Before diving into modding, every player must be aware of a critical game-changing update:This major migration broke compatibility for all mods released before July 2026.
When browsing Nexus Mods, always check the “Last Updated” date. Do not download any mod last updated before July 2026 unless the author explicitly states it has been updated or verified for the new engine, as it will likely corrupt your save files or crash your game.

Beginners Guide: How to Install Mods
Installing mods for Fields of Mistria requires a dedicated community-made utility called MOMI (Mods of Mistria Installer). Follow these steps to set it up:Step 01
Back up Your Save Files (Safety First!)
- Save Location: Press Win + R on your keyboard, type %localappdata%, and press Enter.
- Locate the FieldsOfMistria folder, copy it, and paste it somewhere safe (e.g., your Desktop) as a backup.
Step 02
Download the Installer and Mods
- Download MOMI (Nexus Mods): https://www.nexusmods.com/fieldsofmistria/mods/78
- Download MOMI (GitHub Releases): https://github.com/Garethp/Mods-of-Mistria-Installer/releases/latest
- Download Mods: Browse and download compatible mods from the Fields of Mistria Nexus Mods Hub: https://www.nexusmods.com/fieldsofmistria/mods
Step 03
Create the Mods Folder
- On Windows: Navigate to your local game files (usually Steam\steamapps\common\Fields of Mistria). Create a new folder named mods (all lowercase) next to your FieldsOfMistria.exe or Maybe.toml file.
- Place the downloaded ModsOfMistriaInstaller.exe into your Fields of Mistria game directory (right next to the game's .exe file).
- On Steam Deck / Linux: Create the mods folder inside your game folder, or create a mistria-mods directory in your home directory.
Step 04
Extract and Install
- Extract the downloaded mod .zip files into your newly created mods folder.
- Avoid Nested Folders: Ensure the folder structure is flat. It must look like mods -> [ModNameFolder] -> manifest.toml (or manifest.json). If there is an extra nested folder (e.g., mods -> [ModName] -> [ModName] -> manifest.toml), MOMI will fail to detect the mod.
- Double-click ModsOfMistriaInstaller.exe to run it.
- Check the boxes for the mods you wish to activate, and click the Install button.
- Once it displays Finished, launch the game from Steam and enjoy!

Advanced: Mod Creation & Modification
For players looking to craft their own custom content or modify existing saves:Sprite Replacement & Graphic Editing
Since Fields of Mistria is built on Game Maker, you can customize in-game graphics using community tools:- Tools: Use Undertale Mod Tool (UMT). Project URL: https://github.com/UndertaleModTool/UndertaleModTool
- UMT is fully compatible with reading the game's packed data.win file. You can export any player clothing, tools, animals, or furniture sprite sheets, edit them in Aseprite or Photoshop, and pack them back.
Creating MOMI-Compatible Mods
MOMI supports structured JSON configurations. A simple mod folder consists of:- manifest.json: Defines the name, author, version, and minInstallerVersion to prevent installation on outdated installers.
- sprites/: JSON mapping image paths to game sprite keys.
- items/ / objects/: Custom definitions for new items, recipes, or furniture with properties like name, description, tags, values, and sprites.
Troubleshooting & Bug Fixes
The game says “Missing the game executable” when trying to launch?
Solution: This usually occurs when anti-virus programs remove a patched file or when mods aren't uninstalled properly.
- Open MOMI and click the Uninstall All button.
- Go to Steam, right-click Fields of Mistria -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of game files.
- Re-run MOMI and click Install to re-apply your mods.
Game updated and now it crashes on startup?
Solution: Follow the official community double-reset steps:
- Open MOMI, click Uninstall All.
- Run Steam's Verify integrity of game files twice.
- Open MOMI and install your mods again. If it still crashes, check if an individual mod is outdated and remove it.
Why is my mod not showing up in the MOMI list?
Solution: Make sure you don't have nested folders (e.g. mods -> ModName -> ModName -> manifest.toml). Ensure the manifest.toml or manifest.json file is present directly inside the first folder level under mods.
