What Are Kupo Mods?
Kupo Mods is a collection of mods managed by me, Faospark, originally part of a larger project called Mog Add-ons. Mog Add-ons was first introduced on the Moogles and Mods Discord server and later uploaded to Nexus Mods in September 2021.
Initially, it started as a graphical enhancement mod focused on improving the UI, character portraits, and controller support for Final Fantasy IX. Over time, it grew significantly, becoming one of the largest mods for the Steam version of the game in terms of scope.
As the project expanded, the original mod was split into several standalone mods to better organize and manage its features. These include:
Each mod is designed to enhance different aspects of the game while maintaining a compatibility with one another
Why the Name Change?
The sudden name change might come as a surprise, but it has been in consideration since 2023. The concept originated after I watched a video where "Mog Add-ons" were consistently called "Kupo Mods", shout out to Sugi JRPG. This new name resonated with me, prompting the decision to embrace a new beginning with a new branding .
Why Mog Add-ons were split ?
There were a couple of factors that were considered for the decision , First , There mod is really getting large . Second, There are new mods made that are quite identical to some of the submods mainly because they are buried inside the mod, and lastly i was asked by the creators of Memoria mod Manager. So eventually I did split the mods starting version 4. As of January 14, 2025 all mods now have separate pages on nexus mods and all are also featured on the mod manager.
