It seems like almost nothing can stop the creative power of gamers. Even if Tekken 7 offers an amazon customization section, we can’t stop ourselves from looking for even more options. Creators from the fighting games community have released a huge variety of Tekken 7 mods that bring tons of visual and audio changes. On the other side, players willingly use various mods for Tekken, so good creations are always in demand.
In this article on DashFight, we would like to highlight some aspects of using Tekken 7 PC mods and recommend our readers the 7 very good among them (in our humble opinion).
Previously we made a similar post on modes in Street Fighter V (and we chose five mods there, supporting the magic of numbers).
What are mods in Tekken 7?
They are modifications that change some aspects of the game. In fact, a mod is additional code, which developers allow to connect to their product.
There are various types of mods:
- Tekken 7 music mods - to change the soundtrack
- Tekken 7 costume mods - to change costumes of the fighters. For example, Tekken 7 King mods give new clothes to King.
- Tekken 7 character mods - they can add new personalities in your game (by changing the appearance of the existing characters)
- Tekken 7 stage mods - use them if you want to fight on unusual stages (the same like with characters, these mods are rather cosmetic, they do not change physical features of the stages)
- Tekken 7 HUD mods - to change in-game user interface
There also are some (very bad) mods that give players unfair advantages. Yes, it’s true - theoretically, players can use cheating mods in their games. Such modifications are just awful! They ruin experience for everyone involved, including even those who use them (you alway know those victories are fake, and you never can really enjoy the game). Such mods are known in shooters. Thank goodness, fighting games are well protected from such modifications.
To this bad category, we can include Tekken 7 rank mods that mess with your rank. It is much better to improve your skills and get high Tekken 7 ranks when you really deserve this.
Many mods are unavailable for multiplayer via the Internet - they are installed only on one computer. You may need Tekken 7 mods online for such modified matches. But most mods work offline or in our custom games.
By the way, don’t confuse mods (modifications) with modes - they only sound similar but these are totally different things. On DashFight, we have an article about Tekken 7 modes, so check it out.
Tekken 7: how to install mods?
Modifications are available only for PC players. Someone would say it’s a limitation of the consoles. Still, many console gamers consider it a powerful advantage - they don’t like messing with the ideas of the developers (and be vulnerable to cheating).
Here is a step-by-step instruction on how to install Tekken 7 mods:
- Find a mod you would like to use. One of the most popular hubs is this Deviantart page.
- Download the mod.
- Copy the file(s) to the folder … Steam->steamapps->common->Tekken 7->TekkenGame->Content->Paks->~mods. The Steam folder is in Program Files usually. The ~mods folder should be created manually, so use exactly the same name.
- Open the game and enjoy the mod - it should be there.
The process of installing Tekken 7 mods is as easy as pie. It may be more difficult to choose one from a really vast collection.

1. Tekken 4 Ending Cinematic Devil Jin
Some mods authors do not try to come up with their costume ideas and prefer taking original designs from other Tekken games. Bandai Namco has really good artists, so it’s a good idea to use this amazing heritage. If you take this mod, you‘ll turn Jin into his devil form from the final part of Tekken 4. Look for other tekken 7 Jin mods and you find both original and classic designs.
