Modding/JSON Files

In Yandere-Simulator you can mod the games to create custom content and other cool things that would not usually be in the game. This page will give you tips, tricks and help from a JSON Modder (Ty-dere) if you wanted to create your own mod.

Compatability
When YandereDev releases a new build for Yandere Simulator, make sure you test your mod before saying it is compatible.

When YandereDev changes code, mods can become corrupt. If a mod edits the Assembly-UnityScript.dll and YandereDev changes the .dll file, your mod may corrupt. It's always good to check, even if your 100% sure.

Before You Start...
Before even starting to create your mod, BACKUP your files. Here is the layout of my backup JSON files. (If making more than 1 backup, make sure you put the JSON in seperate files.)
 * Tip: Rename your folders after mods you are using. I have not done this in the picture as the "Used Backup" is a mod I have not released.

Handy Links when Modding:
'''The JSON editor I use is online and it is called www.jsoneditoronline.org. You can use Notepad or Notepad ++ If you have these, but they dont have a cleaner interface as JSON Editor Online.'''

Getting Started
#1 Modding Rule: Use your backups, NOT your Students.json in the Yandere Sim data file.

Right, without further ado, lets begin!

First go to a JSON site or Notepad (or Notepad ++) and begin. I am using JSON Editor Online (as mentioned earlier.)


 * Tip from Ty-dere: Use the right hand side! It has a cleaner interface for you to work with!

This is what the editor will look like after importing Yandere-Sim files.
