Feature Highlights
Rivals Mod 2.0 (KawaiCats & Xhurtbethink)
This massive mod is one of the most complete packs, adding not just the 10 main rivals but also fan-favorites like Himedere-Chan, Tsundere-Chan, and Victim-Chan. It features extensive texture work by credits like LeTaiNguyen86 and YANDERETSKUHI.
Karismatic Rivals (Not Another Rivals Mod)
This mod challenges players to a specific gauntlet: eliminate all rivals sequentially without getting caught and without using debug commands. It replaces the nurse with a custom OC, Eikyu Basu, to keep the challenge fresh.
Modern Kokona Mod
A nostalgia trip that restores Kokona Haruka to her original status as the test rival. It includes full voice acting for her events and allows players to beat the demo by eliminating her, providing a “classic” Yandere Simulator experience.
