Where can I find and download Balatro mods?

Community mods are hosted on Thunderstore, Nexus Mods and the Balatro modding Discord. This page curates the most popular, verified picks by category so you can browse by what you need instead of searching blindly.

What do I need before installing Balatro mods?

The Steamodded loader and the Lovely injector on a PC build (Steam or Epic). Most mods list their dependencies in the description; install those first, then drop the mod into your Mods folder.

How do I pick a good Balatro mod?

Sort by popularity and rating, confirm the mod was updated for your current game version, and start with quality-of-life mods before committing to large gameplay overhauls.

Can I run several Balatro mods at once?

Yes, as long as they target the same game version and don't conflict. Steamodded manages load order; if the game fails to launch, disable the most recently added mod first.
