More info
Balatro does have third-party mod managers/loaders created by the community. The most widely used option is Steamodded (often referred to as a Balatro ModLoader or Smods), which is published on GitHub and also listed on Nexus Mods as a Balatro modding framework. These tools provide a dedicated mods directory and injection/loading mechanisms to run custom Balatro mods. See the Steamodded GitHub page for installation and usage guidance, and the Nexus Mods listing for an overview of the loader and its purpose. Steamodded on GitHub • Steamodded on Nexus Mods
Another option is Balamod, a separate mod loader/injector that supports injecting code into Balatro at runtime across platforms. This project is documented on GitHub and describes how to install and use a mod loader for Balatro. Balamod GitHub
There are also community discussions about a Balatro Mod Manager (often referred to as BMM) in user forums, indicating an ecosystem of loaders and managers beyond the official release. While these tools enable mod loading, they’re community-made and not official by LocalThunk, so users should back up saves and proceed with caution. Balatro Mod Manager discussion
