How to install OBB files for Mods
OBB files are quite easy to install and are necessary for some mods to work, as they contain vital app data needed to make the mod work properly. The .OBB is usually contained in a .zip folder.

- If necessary unpack the .ZIP containing the OBB files.

How to install XAPK Mods
XAPK game mods (.XAPK files) are in essence just .ZIP folders containing the APK mod and OBB files used by some websites to push their ‘installer software’. Using installers is unnecessary, as they often contain lots of ads and are a security risk. Instead do this:
- Rename the .XAPK file to .ZIP and unpack the file.
- You will find the APK and OBB files inside.
- Install just like any .OBB containing APK mod following the tutorial above.
- Congratulations, you installed the XAPK game mod.
- Wait for an ad-free XAPK installer.
How do I figure out if my Mod is Unsigned, Signed or requires OBB files?
Generally, good providers will tell you exactly what kind of mod and installation process you are looking at, but here is what you do if that is not the case.
- If there are OBB files, use the OBB file installation.
- If the download is a .XAPK file, follow the XAPK tutorial.
- If normal installation does not work, then it is an unsigned mod.
- If the normal simple installation works, then it is a Signed mod.
