Disabling the Anti-Cheat

Before we proceed with the installation of mods, it is necessary to prepare the game for modding. This involves disabling the Easy Anti-Cheat feature. Please note that by doing this, you will no longer be able to access online features. Proceed with caution and keep this in mind.

Getting and Installing Mods

Prior to installing mods, it is necessary to download them. You can obtain mods from various sources, como Video Game Mods. Sin embargo, please exercise caution when downloading mods from external websites as they may not always be safe.

En este caso, we will be using Milk Man’s Playable Cell Max mod como ejemplo.

To ensure everything is functioning correctly, it is advisable to download only one mod at this time.

After downloading a mod, you will typically find a file named [nombre del mod].x2m or a zip file containing additional files. en la mayoría de los casos, you won’t need to use the extra files. Sin embargo, si es necesario, there should be a text file accompanying the mod to provide instructions on what to do.

In the case of the Playable Cell Max mod, it is a simple .x2m file. Por lo tanto, the process will be straightforward.

If xv2ins.exe is not already open, launch it, and then click on the designated icon shown in the interface.

Now all you have to do is find your mod and open it.

Mods need to be installed into specific «tragamonedas» dentro del juego (and sometimes may include additional files to install into other slots). En este caso, you can simply click on «Install to new slot(s)».

Once the mod is installed, it should now appear in the game as intended.

En este punto, you can close the XV2 Mod Installer. To launch the game, it is important not to open it through Steam or using START.exe. En cambio, navigate to the bin folder and open the game using DBXV2.exe.

If all the steps have been followed correctly, the mod you installed should now be visible and active within the game.

Save Editor

Find the DB Xenoverse 2 folder and click on «Select folder.» You should now see the following interface.

Próximo, hacer clic en «Archivo» in the top-left corner of the interface, y luego seleccione «Open.»

Locate your DBXV2.sav file. You can find it in the directory where Steam is installed. Específicamente, navigate to userdata\[your user ID]\323470\remote\DBXV21.

Your save file should be located there. Once opened, you should see a similar display as shown in the image.

Como habrás notado, there are an excessive number of Attribute points available in the Save Editor. This feature allows you to cheat and maximize all Attributes.

Please remember not to use this cheat online, as it may result in undesirable consequences.
