Since Yandere Simulator is made in Unity, it can be modded. There are various types of modding:
Students.json Modding
By modding the game's Students.json file, you can edit the game's students in a variety of ways.
Cutscene commands give a whole new world of modding. With them, you can change student textures without replacing any textures, give otherwise unusable hairstyles to students, and much more.
By modding the game's Assembly-UnityScript.dll or Assembly-CSharp.dll file, you can do all sorts of things, like edit the students' additional info, make new hair and eye colours for students and etc.
PME engine allows mods to replace the entire school, entire characters models and more, you can get more informations here: Modding/Pikachuk Modding Enging.
Replacing Complete Characters 3D models
You can replace character models using this PME tutorial, all the links are in the description.

Other modding'methods: Unity5 builds
Modding tutorials for all builds after July 2017!
Texture modding
Texture modding allows you to edit the textures of the uniforms, school environment, stockings, hairstyles and so on.
Load your "YandereSimulator_Data" folder and wait for it to index.
Go to the "Asset List" tab.
Search for the texture you want. Click on it once to select it.
Right click and hit "Show original file". It will open File Explorer and automatically select the file where that texture is located. You'll need that later!
Go to "Export/Selected Assets". Select a folder.
Go to that folder and to its generated subfolder (It will be called Texture2D).
Open UABE
Go to File/Open. Select your .asset file from 'YandereSimulator_Data' folder. (If you used Unity Studio, open the one from step 6!)
Go to View/Search by name
Find the texture you need.
Check the type and make sure it's 'Texture2D'.
Click on it once to select it.
Go to "Plugins/Export to png". Choose a folder and export it.
Once you're done editing it, go back to UABE and make sure your texture is still selected.
Go to "Plugins/Edit/Load". Switch 'TGA' to 'PNG' at the bottom. Select your edited texture and press OK.
Go to "File/Save" and choose the 'YandereSimulator_Data' folder. Name the file something like 'EDITsharedassets8.assets', NOT 'sharedassets8.assets' or it WILL NOT WORK.
Go to the 'YandereSimulator_Data' folder and move the original asset somewhere else. Rename your file to something like 'sharedassets8.assets' but with your asset number.
For a video tutorial, use this video. It's for 7 Days to Die,but it can also be used with Yandere Simulator.
Tutorial
First, rename your .wav files so that they're the same as the files you're replacing (For example, if you're changing the Main Menu music, rename it to MainMenuCute.wav).
Launch Unity and create a new project. Name it whatever you want.
Delete the directional light and main camera.
Drag your .wav files into the assets folder on the bottom half of the screen, and then drag them into the scene.
Go to File > Build Settings, select "Development Build", and click "Build." Name the file whatever you like. Wait for it to build.
Open the folder you just created. There should be a subfolder titled "yourfilename_Data." There will be two files: sharedassets0.assets and sharedassets0.resource. You will need these later to make a dump file for the music.
Open Unity Asset Bundle Extractor, and open sharedassets0.assets using the program.
Once it's loaded, you should see your music files as AudioClips. Click on the AudioClip files and select "Export Dump" on the right side of the screen. Export them to whatever folder you like
Open the folder where you just exported the dump files and rename them the same name as your .wav file. (Ex. MainMenuCute.txt)
Go back to yourfilename_Data. Rename sharedassets0.resource whatever you'd like (I typically keep it the same name as the .wav file, such as MainMenuCute.resource).
Open each dump file in notepad. Where it says "sharedassets0.resource", change it to whatever you just renamed it as. Save each file.
Copy your .resource file and paste it into YandereSimulator_Data.
Open Unity Asset Bundle Extractor again. Open the sharedassets.assets folder that contains the sound you want to change. Find the AudioClip, then select "Import Dump" on the right side of the screen and select the dump file you want to use.
Go to File > Save, and save the sharedassets.assets file to YandereSimulator_Data. Name it something like EDITsharedassets8.assets but with your asset number. Do NOT name it sharedassets8.assets, or else it will not work.
Go to YandereSimulator_Data and move the original sharedassets.assets file somewhere else. Rename your edited file to something like "sharedassets8.assets", but with your asset number.
Run the game. Your custom sound should play!

Texture Modding
This kind of modding is used by those who want to make custom hair colors, uniforms or such. In order to mod the game's assets using this method, you will need the Unity Asset Editor program.
Open Unity Asset Editor. (If you do not have UAE yet, the download link is here.)
Select the sharedassets files of the Data folder desired.(Look to list of sharedassets for the desired texture location).
Choose the file you want and export it. If it is a texture that you want to edit, this is what the file MUST look like when you export it. To export, Right-Click the name of the texture file and hit 'Export':
Look for files with the type "Texture" as shown
If you do NOT see any files that are type 'Texture', reopen UAE and the sharedassets file and try again.
Edit the texture(s) as you want (You need an image editing program that has DDS support. Paint.NET supports DDS, but be sure to set Mipmapping to auto while saving your image or it will not upload correctly.)
This needs to be checked when saving a DDS file for a Texture on Paint.NET.
After editing them, save them and import them in the UAE to replace the old texture. Make sure that you saved the texture to the same name as the old texture before uploading.
Save all the changes and play the game.The textures you edited will appear in-game.
IF YOUR TEXTURE DOES NOT UPLOAD PROPERLY AFTER BEING EDITED MAKE SURE THAT IT IS BOTH MIPMAPPED FROM THE EDITING PROGRAM /AND/ THAT THE OPTIONS CHOSEN FOR THE TEXTURE MATCH THE REQUIRED PROGRAMMING FOR THE GAME. Most opaque textures use a format called "DXT1" while most transparent and translucent textures use a format called "DXT5." You can change the format while saving your edit. Make sure it matches up to the format that the game requires.
WARNING: If UAE keeps crashing when you try to load a texture, do this: Go into the Texture Plugins folder in the UAE files, and then go into the NODX file, it'll contain Texture.dll. Copy the file and go into the Plugins folder. Enter the Default folder and paste it.
Tutorial (Separate Program)
The 'Open Assets-file' button in Unity Assets Explorer
Open the .assets file that contains the textures you want to edit.
Use the search bar located below the list of files to find the texture you want.
The sharedassets folder.
Right click on the file you want to edit.
Select 'Extract This File'.
Find the place where it exported your files. (Trust me. I had to find mine.)
Edit the texture(s) as you want (You need an image editing program that has DDS support. Paint.NET supports DDS, but be sure to set Mipmapping to auto while saving your image or it will not upload correctly.)
Me importing a DDS file in sharedassets8.assets
Save the file in the folder where the original was exported, making sure the name is the same. Replace the old one.
Go back to UAE and right click on the file you just edited.
Select 'Import This File From DDS'.
Click the button that says 'Save As Assets-file' and save over the old file.

Texture Modding Examples
Here are some examples of custom-made textures:
Meshes (3D models) Editing
*Note: The reference for this tutorial was by Pikachuk on YouTube (specifically this video), but it's in French. I did my best to translate it; edits from more experienced modelers and modders are welcome!*
Hello! I'm Flower-kun. I saw that a lot of people were requesting something like this, so I decided to provide!
THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH .pmx FILES, ONLY .pmd FILES!!!!!
For this tutorial, I'm going to replace the Miku hair with this custom model (It is indeed an MMD hair model!) So let's get started!
Tutorial
Open the character model skeleton in 3DS Max.
Run the PMD import script by selecting 'Run Script' in the Scripts menu (in the top bar).
deleting the base model
Import your hair, making sure to uncheck every box except for 'Model' and 'Physics'.
Resize and move your hair until it's on the model the way you want.
exporting the model as a .obj
Delete the character skeleton and save the hair as a .obj file.
Open up Unity and create a new project.
importing your model
Select the 'Assets' button at the top and choose 'Import New Asset'.
Choose your .obj that you just made. It should show up as an asset.
the buttons are highlighted
Drag the bottom picture of the model to the grid to import it to a scene.
Go into file and select 'Build Settings'.
Select 'Add Current' and save your scene.
Click 'Build'.
Wait for it to build.
Go to where you saved your game. You should see a YourBuildName_assets folder that contains sharedassets0.assets.
Open up sharedassets0.assets with Unity Assets Bundle Extractor.
Find your mesh (Mine was named default, because I forgot to name the model - oops!).
Right click and select 'Export'. Save the .data file.
Open up the sharedassets in Yandere Simulator that contains the hair you want to replace (mine is in sharedassets9).
Press Export Raw. Export to wherever you want and give any name. Then press Import Raw, select your mesh, and press OK.
Find the texture of the mesh you replaced (there's a search function).
Press Plugins/Edit/Load and select your texture, then press OK.
Follow the texture replacing tutorial above.
Go to File/Save, add the extension ".assets" and rename the file to something like "EDITsharedassets8.assets". You MUST save the file as something else; the game will not work right if you don't.
Go to your "YandereSimulator_Data" folder where your modded file is located. Move the original .assets file so you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Rename your modded .assets file to the original file's name.
Open up the game and scroll through Yan-chan's hairstyles - you should find your hair! (My game crashed because I have a bad computer, so sorry there's no pictures...)
Alternatively, you could use the Pose Mod to put you models in the game like the fake Kizana hair - a tutorial for this is coming soon, probably on the Pose Mod commands page.
You can use this to replace virtually any object, I was just showing how to replace a hair model. Anyways, have fun modding! ~Danny
Animation Modding
Hello! I'm An Kawaii Potato :3.I noticed that a lot o people were asking for a tutorial for changing animation so here we go
2-open sharedassets 8 or 10 for older version or 8 and 9 for newer version
3-scroll down through the files till you find the files with f02 in the start
my yan sim animations folder
4-choose one and save it on a place you can easily find it
5-choose another animation save it and replace it with the one you choose before
*Note: To make Yandere-Chan Play Students Animation, please use pose mod ! Thank you.
Yandere Mod Loader
Warning: It's bad english because it's written by a french. Fix me if you see mistake.
Yandere Mod Loader is a beta tool for loading mod into Yandere Simulator. It allows the possibility to load multiple at once. Firstly, you need to know programming in .NET language like C# or VB.NET.
Open your IDE and create new project "Library". Its name will be the ID of the mod. Create a class named "[ID]_installer" (Example: GuyMod_installer).
In the class add a static method "Install". Extract Yandere Simulator and Yandere Loader into the generation folder of your project (by default: "%UserProfile%\source\repos\projectName\bin\Debug\").
Add in project references all of dll of YandereSimulator_Data\Managed (except mscorlib.dll and all library which starts by System).
Back on Visual Studio, in Install() method, you'll put instructions for install mod.
Example:
new GameObject("GuyMod").AddComponent<GuyMod_installer>();
DontDestroyOnLoad();
If you write this code, the compiler throws an error. You need to add " : MonoBehaviour" just after the "class GuyMod_installer".
The base of the mod is almost finished. Create new JSON file named modpkg.json. Put:
{
"id":"GuyMod",
"name":"Guy Mod",
"version":"1.0"
}
In properties, set Copy to output directory to true or Always Copy (depending the version).
In project properties, set the Generation folder to /bin/Debug/mods/GuyMod
Generate and the mod will appears on the list in-game !
For add code in each update and in start of game, simply check the methods of MonoBehaviour (Unity)
Change student routine
You need the base of your mod.
Create update method:
void Update() {
}
Into the function, add a foreach iterator and a if statement for selecting the student. Example:
The student is Budo Masuta. His student id is #21. I want to move his position at 3 PM. (15 hours in 24h format (+ 12))
void Update() {
foreach (var student in FindObjectsOfType<StudentScript>()) {
if ((student.ID == 21) && (FindObjectOfType<ClockScript>().HourTime == 15f)) {
student.CurrentDestination.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
student.CurrentDestination.rotation = new Quaternion(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
}
}
TIP: For getting position and rotation, you can use the pose mod and enable the label in advanced options.
