ReSkate itself is a third-party open-source project that adds offline play, private lobbies, dedicated servers, and custom content to the PC version of skate., with its source code maintained on GitHub.
The Thunderstore catalog for ReSkate is organized around the same categories players use to navigate modding: custom maps, cosmetics, scripts, gameplay tools, and modpacks. Because the project updates quickly, always cross-check a mod's listed ReSkate version against your own installation.

Step-by-Step: Installing Mods from Thunderstore
Follow this sequence from a clean ReSkate installation to a working modded session.
Install ReSkate First
Download the launcher from the official GitHub Releases page, point it at your skate. Steam directory, and complete a clean launch before adding any mods.
Download the Mod Package
Grab the mod archive from its Thunderstore page and keep the file together in a dedicated downloads folder so you can re-verify it later.
Extract into the Mods Directory
Unpack the archive into the ReSkate Mods directory. Confirm the files sit directly inside the expected folder structure with no extra nested folder from the archive.
Verify and Enable
Launch ReSkate, open the in-game menu, and check that the mod manager detects the new content. Enable only the mods you intend to test.
Test with a Minimal Loadout
Run a session with just the new mod active. If everything works, re-enable the rest of your collection one item at a time.
Test each new mod by itself before combining it with others. This single habit makes it far easier to identify which package causes a conflict.
Troubleshooting Common Mod Problems
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Recommended Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Mod does not load | Wrong folder or nested archive | Verify files sit directly in the Mods directory |
| Crash on startup | Incompatible mod or conflict | Disable recent mods, relaunch, re-enable one at a time |
| Version mismatch error | Old launcher/runtime or server | Update launcher and runtime as a matched set |
| Multiplayer join failure | Host uses different mods | Match required mod list and versions before joining |
| Security software alert | False positive on mod files | Verify the file source, then add a trusted exclusion |
Some security software flags ReSkate files incorrectly. Only download from the official Thunderstore page or GitHub repository, and report suspected false positives through GitHub Issues rather than ignoring warnings from unknown sources.
Before Reporting a Problem:
- Confirm the game launches without mods
