A modern, cross-platform FOMOD installer creation tool for Bethesda game mods. Skyrim · Fallout · Starfield · Oblivion · Morrowind
XIMOD Architect is a desktop application that lets you build FOMOD installers — the
guided, step-by-step installers that mod managers use to let players choose options while
installing a mod. It gives you a visual editor for the whole installer (steps, option
groups, plugins, conditional files) and generates the standardized info.xml and
ModuleConfig.xml files for you, so you never have to write the XML by hand.
Written in Rust and running on Windows, Linux and macOS, XIMOD Architect is a Rust port of Wenderer's original FOMOD Creation Tool, published with permission (see Credits and Permissions).
- Visual FOMOD editor in four tabs: Mod Info, Install Steps, Required Installs, Conditional Installs.
- Full ModuleConfig 5.0 support: five group selection types, five option types, condition flags, dependency patterns, conditional installs.
- Generates
