opencart2.x

Is there a better way then using VQMOD / OCMOD to change OpenCart's core files? Is there some "overrides" folder exists so that I can simply create any PHP file corresponding to the file structure and simply override a core file? (Like it is possible in PrestaShop and Magento ). VQMOD / OCMOD is highly inconvenient. Does someone use any hacks & tricks to achieve the result? I don't want to touch any core files to keep the system clean and manageable. Thanks a lot!
