To apply mods, you don’t simply copy a CPK file into the game folder. You must also register it in the file located in the download directory. This registry tells the game which CPK files to load and in what order. The native game lacks a built‑in CPK manager, which is why the community has created a variety of tools for both creating and repacking these archives.

Inside that folder, create the required subdirectories. For instance, faces usually go into: MyCustomMod/common/character0/model/character/face/real/ . Drop your loose mod files into the final subfolder. Step 2: Compile the CPK with CriPackedFileMaker Open .
