Aurora is a lightweight modding platform for Unreal Engine anime games allowing you to freely load Unreal Engine 5 PAK mods, Lua scripts and blueprints. Easily start modding your favourite games with a clean desktop interface and super easy setup.
Easily load both .pak character model mods and .asi DLL mods into your game, with support for Lua scripts as well.
Aurora is written in Rust and rendered with Slint, both being extremely lightweight languages.
Note
Because our application is not signed, Windows Defender might false flag Aurora on first launch. We do not support Microsoft's Smart App Control system. You are most likely to get blocked by Smart App Control while running Aurora for the first time.

Important
Aurora does not and will never support .ini mods, those mods are loaded in by D3D11 hooking projects like 3DMigoto or XXMI. It's close near impossible creating support for them, the architecture between Aurora and 3DMigoto is vastly different. We are an Unreal Engine PAK loader, not a DirectX hook.

inside your mod so our mod manager can display more information about your mod. A few example include mod version, icon, (select from included icons or set your
own custom icon using an external URL), author and support link.
