Palworld: How to Install Mods

Palworld is a very fascinating game, but there are still many reasons why players want to use mods. Maybe you've already reached level 50 and are looking for more fun, or you wish to add something from the other series into the game. All of this can be done with mods, but installing them is not that easy. It is important to install mods correctly as they will not work at best or make Palworld unplayable at worst.

How to Install Palworld Mods

There are many cool mods for Palworld and one of the most popular is those that add something from Pokemon to the game. Some mods simplify the game, for example, increase the carrying capacity, or make catching Pals easier. Among this variety, you will definitely find something you like. And below we describe the installation process in as much detail as possible so that it does not cause any difficulties. But remember that mods are third-party software that can trigger bugs and crashes.

Download Necessary Tools

Download the Unreal Engine Scripting System version UE4SS_Xinput_v2.5.2 from this link.
After downloading, unzip the archive with the files.
Open Steam and find Palworld in your game library.
Right-click on Palworld, select Properties, choose Installed Files, then Browse to open the game's folder.
Then navigate to these folders:
- Pal
- Binaries
- Win64

Edit Game Files

Before transferring the files from the UE4SS_Xinput_v2.5.2 folder, you need to modify the UE4SS-settings.ini file.
To accomplish this, open the UE4SS-settings.ini file and use CTRL + F to find the line bUseUObjectArrayCache, change the value from true to false and save.
Next, transfer all the files from the UE4SS_Xinput_v2.5.2 directory to the folder you opened in the first step.
Furthermore, some mods require the creation of another folder.
Next, reopen the game folder and navigate to this location:
- Pal
- Content
- Paks
Create a folder with the name Mods.
Launch the game and make sure it works correctly.

Download and Install Mods

Find the Palworld mods you want to install on Curse Forge or Nexus Mods and download them. Pay attention to the description of the mods, as some may require additional tools.
Make sure that all downloaded mods are saved in separate folders and unzipped.
Open the game folder again.
There are two options for installing mods:
- If the mod you would like to install has a.pak extension, copy or move it to the Mods folder you created earlier.
- If the mod does not have a.pak extension, but is simply located in a folder, then place it along the following path:
  - Open the game folder.
  - Pal
  - Binaries
  - Win64
  - Mods
- Also in this folder you will see the mods.txt file, for the mods to work correctly, open it and enter all the names of the new mods you have added, colon and 1.
- It should look like this:
  - ModName1: 1
  - ModName2: 1
  - ModName3: 1
- After you've done that, save the file.
- Please note that you need to edit the mods.txt file only for the mods you want to install in Binaries/Win64/Mods, and the name must exactly match the name of the folder where the mod files are located.
