Modding in Pro Basketball Manager

What is a Mod?

A mod is a database modified by the community, which may include updates or new additions to:

  • Players
  • Teams
  • Leagues
  • Staff
  • Injury types

Mods can also contain new graphical assets, such as team and league logos or player and staff photos.

There are two types of mods:

  • Steam Workshop mods - Created by the community and available for download on Steam.
  • Local mods - Made using the Dataeditor.

Please note that modding by the community is not yet supported on Epic Games Store versions.

How to Install a Mod

To install a mod:

  1. Go to the Steam Workshop page for Pro Basketball Manager.
  2. Click Subscribe on the mod you want to download.
  3. Confirm that Steam has downloaded the mod, then restart the game.

The mod will now be available when starting a new career. By default, the game includes a "default mod" maintained by the developers. This official mod is updated with each game update. It’s recommended not to edit it directly, as it will be overwritten with every update.

How to Use a Mod

To apply a mod, you need to start a [[[New_career|new career]]. It is not possible to change mods within an existing career.

How to Create a Mod

Local mods are stored in the game directory:

  • Windows: C:/Users/(your name)/AppData/LocalLow/Umix Studios/Pro Basketball Manager (version)/Mods
  • MacOS: /Users/(your name)/Library/Application Support/com.UmixStudios.ProBasketballManager(version number)/Mods

To create a new mod:

  1. Open the game or Dataeditor.
  2. Click Duplicate Default Mod to create a copy you can edit.
  3. Use the Dataeditor to make any changes to the database.

How to Add or Change a Player Photo

1. Find the ID of the player in your mod database. 2. Save the photo as a PNG file with the player's ID as the filename. 3. Place the file in the "player_faces" folder.

1. Find the ID of the team in your mod database. 2. Save the logo as a PNG file with the team’s ID as the filename. 3. Place the file in the "team_logos" folder.


1. Find the ID of the competition in your mod database. 2. Save the logo as a PNG file with the competition's ID as the filename. 3. Place the file in the "league_logos" folder.

How to Publish a Mod

When you’re ready to publish:

  1. Open the game and go to the Modding page.
  2. Click Publish on the mod you want to upload to Steam Workshop.
  3. You will need to accept the latest terms and conditions on Steam for your mod to be publicly visible

This will make your mod available for other players to download and use. Happy modding!
