Game Mod management and conversion for macOS
Jacob Mod Manager is a native macOS tool for organizing, converting, checking and safely deploying compatible game Mods — starting with Resident Evil RE Engine games and requiring no terminal commands.
Apple chip Mac only (M1 or later). Intel Macs are not supported.
How to check your Mac chip
Open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac. The Chip field must show Apple M1 or later; Intel processors are not supported. Device detection only shows this reminder and never blocks the download.

Compatibility support policy
When a Mod does not work, we investigate.
Third-party Mods vary in structure and may change without notice, so universal compatibility cannot be guaranteed. You can report an unsupported or incompatible Mod with diagnostics and its original source link; requests are then handled according to your edition.
How requests are prioritized
A paid license covers priority compatibility support for its included games. It is not a separate charge based on how complex a Mod appears.
Reports are collected for product-wide improvements, but investigation and updates may arrive later and are not guaranteed for every individual Mod.
Single Game Edition covers its selected game; All Games Edition covers every game included in the collection. These reports are reviewed first, and feasible fixes are delivered in maintenance updates without an extra per-Mod fee.
Report
Share the diagnostic package, game version, Mod version and original download page only when you choose to.
Reproduce and assess
We verify the issue and determine whether it can be resolved safely without redistributing third-party content.
Deliver an update
Feasible fixes are released as software or game-module compatibility updates, with paid requests handled first.
Compatibility requests
Found a Mod that does not work?
Prepare a structured report with the game, Mod version and failure details. This gives us enough information to reproduce the problem and place it in the correct support queue.
Supported games

Modding on Mac, without the guesswork.
Choose your game, add a Mod archive, review the results and apply it. Jacob Mod Manager explains conflicts before files are changed and keeps recoverable backups along the way.
Video tutorialYouTube · Coming soonThree steps to get started
- Choose a supported Resident Evil game
- Drag a compatible Mod archive into your library
- Review the checks, then apply the managed patch
Apply with confidence
- See target files and conflicts before deployment
- Keep the original game files and current patch backed up
- Restore a known-good state whenever you need it
Install and find your game
- Open the signed DMG and drag the app to Applications. The current download still uses the previous name, Mac Mod Manager
- Launch it from Applications; no developer tools are required
- The official Mac game is normally found automatically; choose its app manually only if discovery fails
Move or remove safely
- Turn off every managed Mod and confirm the game is restored before removing the app
- Deactivate your paid license before moving it to another Mac
- Deleting the app keeps your library, settings, backups and saved license for reinstall; permanently deleting that data is a separate action

Good to know
Questions before you start.
The essentials about supported games, editions, compatibility and purchase support.
Do I need the Mac version of the game installed?
Yes. Conversion and deployment use data from a supported official Mac release. Jacob Mod Manager checks common install locations automatically and asks you to choose the game app only when it cannot find it.
Is Community Edition a trial?
No. It is the free edition for every released game module. You can keep an unlimited local library and run compatibility analysis, while enabling one imported top-level Mod per game at a time.
Can every Windows Mod be converted for Mac?
No. Jacob Mod Manager converts supported game-resource files; it cannot run REFramework, DLL/EXE/ASI plugins, Windows code injection, trainers, Cheat Engine tables or ReShade-dependent Mods. Compatibility for ordinary resource Mods still depends on the game build, resource types and how the Mod was created. Paid reports are investigated first, but priority does not guarantee that every technically eligible Mod can be fixed.
What do the paid editions unlock?
Single Game and All Games editions add batch import, unlimited multi-Mod combinations, conflict rules, loadouts and automatic rebuilds for the games included by that license.
What if I have a purchase, activation or supported-compatibility problem?
Contact support@macmodmanager.app. Paddle and mandatory consumer rights apply to payment refunds, and qualifying delivery or supported-compatibility failures may use our additional 14-day resolution process. Read the refund and compatibility policy.
Your games. Your Mods. Kept under your control.
Jacob Mod Manager works with game and Mod files you legally own. It does not include or distribute CAPCOM game data, official artwork or third-party Mods.
Local by default
Your Mod library and game files stay on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded automatically.
