Could you build this?
Partial The UI and mod-management layer can be vibe-coded, but a working loader depends on hooking into a proprietary, obfuscated game binary, which requires reverse engineering skills.
What it would actually take: The stack is a mod manager UI plus an injected DLL or loader that hooks game functions to load mods. The hard part is reverse engineering the game's runtime structures and asset pipeline, then keeping up with game patches and anti-tamper measures. That calls for experienced reverse engineers with C/C++ and Windows internals knowledge.
