Are Mods Free?

It depends on the service provider from whom you choose to buy the mod applications.

Once the installation process is complete, a cache file is generated on your device. Find the cache file, unzip it, and locate it in the Mod APK file. This step is extremely important because the cache file or the cache memory contains the video, audio, graphics, and Java Scripts required to ensure a flawless gaming experience.

The cache file is also known as the OBB file. Chances are there for your system to show error messages during the installation process.
