FNAF Secret of the Mimic Mods

Secret of the Mimic has an active modding scene on PC: save stations, texture overhauls, FOV fixes and mascot retextures. Most mods are drag-and-drop .pak files - install takes under a minute.

PC only Hubs: GameBanana + Nexus Mods .pak drop-in or UE4SS

Install a .pak mod

The standard install for most SOTM mods - works for retextures, gameplay tweaks and content packs.

  1. 1
    Download the mod

    Grab it from the game's GameBanana or Nexus Mods page and extract the zip - you're looking for a .pak file inside.

  2. 2
    Open the game's folder

    In Steam: right-click Secret of the Mimic > Manage > Browse local files.

  3. 3
    Drop it into Paks

    Place the .pak into FNAF_SOTM/FNAF_SOTM/Content/Paks. If the mod ships a loader file too, copy that the same way.

  4. 4
    Launch and check

    Start the game - most mods apply immediately with no in-game toggle.

UE4SS mods (script-based)

Some utility mods need UE4SS - the Unreal Engine script loader - instead of a plain .pak drop.

  1. 1
    Get UE4SS

    Download the latest release from the UE4SS GitHub - the main zip, not the zDev build.

  2. 2
    Extract into Win64

    Paste the contents into FNAF_SOTM/FNAF_SOTM/Binaries/Win64 - the same folder as the game executable.

  3. 3
    Enable the mod

    UE4SS mods drop into its mods folder and get toggled in UE4SS-settings.ini or the mods list - the mod page lists exact steps.

FAQ

Can you mod FNAF Secret of the Mimic on console?

Pak mods go in FNAF_SOTM/FNAF_SOTM/Content/Paks. UE4SS goes in FNAF_SOTM/FNAF_SOTM/Binaries/Win64.

Are SOTM mods safe?

Stick to GameBanana and Nexus Mods - both scan uploads. Back up your save before installing gameplay-altering mods.

Do mods break after game updates?

Sometimes - a title update can break .pak mods or UE4SS versions. If the game won't launch after a patch, pull the mod files and re-test.
