Questions people ask
Short answers. If yours isn't here, ask in the Lounge or write to [email protected].
The basics
What do these mods do?
They add local split-screen co-op to games that don't have it: two players, one PC, one screen, two controllers. Each player gets their own half of the screen and their own controls. Over the Hill Mods also adds a MODS menu with cheats, unlocks and weather, plus typed cheat codes.
Does player 2 need to buy anything?
No. Player 2 plays on your PC, in your copy of the game, with the mod you bought. They just need a controller.
What do I need?
A Windows PC with the Steam version of the game, and controllers. PEAK Split-Screen needs one controller for player 2 (player 1 can stay on keyboard and mouse). Over the Hill Mods needs two controllers connected for split-screen. Each mod page lists exactly what it needs and the game build it was tested on.
Does it work on Steam Deck, Linux or Mac?
The mods are built and tested on Windows only. We haven't tested Steam Deck, Proton or Mac, so we can't say they work there.
Does it work online?
Split-screen runs in your own game. PEAK Split-Screen works in Play Solo games only and switches itself off in online rooms. Over the Hill Mods' split-screen and cheats work in your own game, solo or when you host.
Installing and updating
Is the installer safe?
It's an unsigned Windows installer, so Windows SmartScreen will warn you the first time ("More info", then "Run anyway"). Each mod page shows the file's SHA-256 so you can check you got exactly what we published, and lists every file the installer puts in your game folder. The Setup.exe also takes everything back out.
Are my saves safe?
Installing, updating and uninstalling don't touch the game's own saves. Player 2's own save in Over the Hill Mods sits next to the game's saves and is kept when you uninstall.
How do updates work?
When a new version is out, download it from the mod page or your account and run it. It shows "Update to ..." and keeps your settings. Every update is included in what you bought.
The game updated and something broke. Now what?
Most of the time the mods keep working after a game update; only the parts tied to changed game code stop. File a bug report in the member area with your log, and check the mod page for a new version.
Buying
What's the difference between one mod and lifetime?
One mod ($8.99) is that mod with every update. Lifetime ($34.99) is every mod on this site, including the ones added later, with every update. If you already bought single mods, what you paid counts toward lifetime.
Why do I need an account?
So your purchases stay tied to you and you can download them again any time. Signing in is a 6-digit code by email; there's no password.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, if a mod won't run on your PC and we can't fix it, within 14 days. The terms of sale have the details.
Who handles the payment?
Stripe. We never see your card. The checkout page and your card statement show Percy Marketing, which runs this site.
What do members get?
Anyone who has bought a mod can chat in the Lounge, post and vote on game and feature requests, and send private bug reports to the mod author. Anyone can read The Couch; members can join in.
Everything else
Are these official?
No. They're unofficial fan mods. The games' developers didn't make them and don't support them, so please don't send them bug reports about the mods.
Can you make one for my favourite game?
Ask in Requests in the member area. The most-voted games go on the roadmap. Not every game can be done, but every request gets read.
