NBA 2K Mods Locker Tutorial

Back up your Mods directory before you start!

If anything goes wrong or conflicts occur, you can quickly roll back.

What it does — in one sentence

Deploy files from your Mods Library to the game directory/mods without copying them. This saves disk space and lets you enable/disable with one click.

🚀 2‑minute TL;DR

Step 1｜Set directories

  1. Open Settings → Directory configuration
  2. Choose Game directory (select the 2K25/26 root; do not pick the …/mods folder)
  3. Choose your Mods Library folder

settings

Step 2｜Import mods

  1. Go to Mods Info Management (or Mods Library)
  2. Click Scan and refresh (scans library directory; one-click import after discovering new folders)
  3. Select items → Import selected (if import panel appears)
  4. Set categories → Add mods to categories

Step 3｜Enable & auto-deploy (new)

  1. Open Mods Management and toggle Enable/Disable
  2. System will automatically perform incremental deployment in about 2 seconds (top shows "Waiting for deployment..." with progress)
  3. No longer need to manually click "Deploy enabled mods"
  4. Need to return to clean state? Click top-right Clean and reset (clears links and disables all)

🔎 1‑minute self‑check (common issues)

  • Wrong directory → the game directory must be the 2K25/26 root, not …/mods.
  • Just enabled but no effect → wait about 2 seconds for auto-deployment; top shows "Waiting for deployment..." badge and progress; if abnormal, use Clean and reset then try again.
  • Folder structure issues → keep each mod in its own folder (see examples below).
  • Permissions/security tools → if link creation fails, run as admin or allow through your security software.
  • Free version enable limit → free version enables max 10 mods; hitting limit prompts "upgrade".
Suggested layouts (one folder per mod)

Two recommended options:

  • your‑mods‑library/<mod-name>/mods/<content>/
    e.g. face-kobe08/mods/char/sig/png…
  • your‑mods‑library/<mod-name>/<content>/
    e.g. face-kobe08/char/sig/png…

Naming examples:

  • Kobe face: face-kobe08/mods/char/sig/png… or face-kobe08/char/sig/png…
  • Lakers 2010 Finals jersey: jersey-01lakers-finals/mods/char/… or jersey-01lakers-finals/char/…
  • Kobe 10 “Christmas” shoes: shoes-kobe10-christmas/clothing/… or shoes-kobe10-christmas/mods/clothing/…
  • Bynum face example:

Tips:

  • Prefer English names — consistent and concise.
  • Keep one folder per mod (DIY exceptions are fine).

❓FAQ

Q1: Import fails — what should I check?
Verify your directory settings and folder structure (see “Recommended structure”).

Q2: Modium launches but lists are empty/unresponsive?
Make sure you are in Library / NBA2K25(26) and verify Modium’s path/permissions.

Q3: How do I back up or restore? Back up your Mods Library; deployment uses links, so clearing links restores the state.

Q4: Why don't I see deployment after toggling? After enabling, the system will deploy incrementally in about 2 seconds; top shows "Waiting for deployment..." with progress. If still abnormal: 1) Check paths in settings; 2) Click Clean and reset then try again.
