WWE 2k17 PC Modding Information

NOTICE RE PAID MODS

The forum has implemented new rules with regards to Paid Mods. Modders kindly review the new rule thread linked above and amend your threads as needed.

HELP & SUPPORT

Need help or support with PC mods, modding and other things? Don't post in the main PC Modding forum but visit and post in our Help & Support Forum instead! Also BEFORE posting a help thread consult the linked tutorials below, as well as the Smacktalks Community Wiki!

MOD INDEX

An index of various mods that have been created and shared by the community, maintained by @Booty O's.
 

CENTRAL POFO/MOVESET REPOSITORY

A central pofo/moveset repository which is crowdsourced where each character has a simple zip file containing the pofo/moveset without any adlinks or other hassles.

All community members are encouraged to contribute by creating and testing movesets/pofos. These can then be shared with me via ST or the dedicated Discord channel and I will upload them to the repo.

Alternatively, you can also visit the older Pofo, Moveset, Team Info and Attire Names Database that may not be as hassle-free to download.

DISCORD CHANNEL

A place for modders to discuss mods and techniques on the Discord text and voice chat application that's available on most devices.

This is the official Smacktalks Discord server and is not intended for, leeches, spammers, or non-contributors.

pozzum why no one dont even try to fix my some modding problems?so why is this discord for?

it's for mod discussion not for basic trouble shooting.

[LordJustice17]

@WillieB31 As Pozzum stated inactive users get pruned quite often.

The Discord was intended as a place separate from ST for modders to discuss modding. Therefore we are trying to keep it limited to contributing members of the community rather than leechers and inactives. A full explanation of this is posted in the pofo/moveset channel of the Discord.
