This is a unique cosmetic mod that introduces higher quality, higher resolution assets for every single card in the game (and some accessories), including better card borders, backgrounds and brand new monster art while still being respectful of the original design choices! Perfect for players who just want nicer, reimagined cards and accessories without changing any game mechanics.
* Note: I only upload here and the official Google Drive mirror, nowhere else. Do not download this mod from any other sources or it could be malicious/incorrect.
With this mod, you will get:
- Totally new, reimagined card art for every single monster
- Higher resolution cards
- New, better card frames
- Higher quality card borders
- Better card backgrounds
- Matching, "Reborn" accessories like playmats, packs, posters and more (these are still being worked on)
- Even more things in the future (see road map below)
* Note: This mod does not alter or edit any 3D models such as plushies or statues, so those assets will remain unchanged.
Current progress:
- Early access phase: 100%
- Base card remake progress: 100% (131/131 cards)
- Hidden card remake progress: 100% (10/10 cards)
- Phase 1 progress: 100% (5/5 items)

If you end up liking this mod, please share it around with your friends and let me know what your favorite cards are in the comments! Don't forget to endorse as well. It's quick and goes a long way towards helping my solo project (and first-ever mod) get noticed! Thank you~ <3
* Note: When the main game is updated, THIS MOD WILL DISAPPEAR and your cards will go back to default! Your save data and gameplay will be fine, don't worry. When this happens, just wait for me to update the mod to match the new game version and drop the new files back into your game folder (instructions below) to restore the Reborn content. Thank you for your patience.
- This mod is currently compatible with TCG Card Shop Simulator v0.52
- You don't need any other mods for this one to work.
- This mod uses 'sharedasset' packs 0 and 1 to replace 2D textures and sprite data for all cards and should work with any other mods that don't overlap with that functionality or alter those files, but I can't guarantee anything.
* Note: Some users have reported visual issues while using additional mods like BepinEX and Texture Replacer. It's very likely that using another mod or anything that changes or overrides my mod's sprite data (dimensions) or alters the card borders will create visual bugs since my cards are higher resolution than the default ones and are only meant to work with unaltered borders and frames.
- Open Steam, go to your library and find TCG Card Shop Simulator
- Right click on the game and select "Properties"
- Click the "Installed Files" tab
- Click the "Browse" button (This will open the main game folder)
- Move or copy the mod folder "Card Shop Simulator_Data" to this location and select "Replace the files in the destination"
- Your game should now have new cards!
(Method 2)
- Manually navigate to Steam > steamapps > common > TCG Card Shop Simulator
- Move or copy the mod folder "Card Shop Simulator_Data" to this location and select "Replace the files in the destination"
- Your game should now have new cards!
(Vortex/Mod Manager)
- I updated the mod file structure to be compatible with Vortex, so all you need to do for this option is use the "Mod Manager Download" button here on Nexus. Let me know if the mod manager isn't working for some reason though.
Use this method if you no longer enjoy the mod, if the game gets updated and breaks the mod or if your game fails to load.
(Your save file should be completely unaffected by this and there should be no risk of losing any data with my mod, as it simply replaces 2D textures.)
- Open Steam, go to your library and find TCG Card Shop Simulator
- Right click on the game and select 'Properties'
- Click the 'Installed Files' tab
- Click the 'Verify integrity of game files' button
- Wait for this process to finish
- Your game has now been reset to vanilla
* Note: This process may reset or remove other mods you have installed as well!

Phase 4
- Add BepinEX/Texture Replacer compatibility for texture swapping (maybe)
- Why did you decide to make this mod?
- Because I honestly love the game, but I hate the default artwork (which is old, reused stuff from the dev's first mobile game) and I wanted something worthy of collecting and staring at for hundreds of hours. I figured other people might enjoy a nice face lift for their game as well, so I'm making this project public.
- Will this work with other mods?
- This mod replaces 2D textures and sprite data for cards. It should still work with any other mods that don't overlap with that functionality or alter the files that my mod uses.
- What will this mod NOT do?
- This mod aims to make cards and certain 2D assets look better. That's it. No 3D models have been changed (plushies, statues, etc). I also did not change any card values, effects, names or numbers. This mod will not change how fast packs open or affect any gameplay mechanics at all. It is purely cosmetic. Great for vanilla players that just want nicer looking cards and accessories.
- Will this mod affect my performance?
- No. This mod should not affect, change or lower your performance or FPS in any significant way.
- Why won't my game load?
- TCG Card Shop Simulator is still in early access and gets updated quite frequently. Every time the game gets updated, it usually breaks any mods you have installed. When this happens, simply verify the integrity of your game files in Steam (instructions above) and your game should work again, but the mods you were using will be gone. You will usually have to wait for each mod you were using to be updated before they will work again.
- Will this mess up my save file?
- No. My mod only replaces 2D textures for cards and does not interact with your save file or anything else in the game, so you should never lose data when installing or uninstalling this mod.
- Will you add BepinEX/Texture Replacer functionality?
- This is something I'm looking at in the future, but need to do more research on first. A lot of my new cards need Sprite data edits to fix weird cropping issues because the original files are very janky behind the scenes, so it's not just a simple texture swap unfortunately. I also need to change the illustrator data from the old Fiverr artists the dev worked with to me since I'm using this project for a portfolio I'm working on.
- Does this mod use AI generated art?
- Yes. I used a blend of Midjourney and Photoshop to bring this project to life, so it features AI generated content that has been heavily altered, corrected and improved by hand. I also study art and make my own traditional/digital work, but there were simply too many cards for me to draw completely new art for this entire project from scratch as a solo creator. Lots of love and care was put into each monster though and they look incredibly good, not like your typical AI slop, so I hope you still enjoy the mod! If you don't like AI generated artwork, that is perfectly fine. This mod is not for you, but do keep in mind that the base game already has some AI generated content in it before you @ me in the comments please.
- Small strip missing/glitched at the top of all Ghost cards (a visual bug from the main game)
- Tiny composition/framing issues with a few monsters (will be corrected in Phase 3)
- One side of all booster boxes has a mirrored image (another visual bug from the main game)
- TheBlazorian for helping me realize I could implement even higher resolution assets, which really elevated the experience.
- Munchmaquiche for bringing some light to this mod and going to bat for it in the hostile and unaccepting official Discord server.
- jrgreat90 for explaining the proper file structure of Vortex.
- Every single person that has left a nice comment, tried the mod, shared it with friends or came by the stream. You guys rock!
