You'll find full instructions on using mods below.

Mod stability and compatibility

The vast majority of mods are made by amateur developers: many mods have not been thoroughly tested, and some may cause crashes or other stability issues.

Many mods are incompatible with each other. Enabling incompatible mods may cause the game to crash. If you plan to enable multiple mods at once, we recommend checking the mods' documentation for information about their compatibility with other mods.

Saved games and mods

It is possible to add mods to a saved game: you can enable mods and load a saved game made before those mods were enabled. However, we recommend enabling any mods you want to use before starting a new game, rather than adding them to an existing game.

It is not possible to remove mods from a saved game: if you save a game while using one or more mods, you must always have those mods enabled while playing that saved game. If you disable any of those mods, you will be unable to load the saved game.

Installing mods via the Steam Workshop

The easiest way to install mods is to subscribe to them via the Steam Workshop. Subscribing to a mod installs it automatically.

To subscribe to a mod:

1. Open the Steam application.

2. Select Library.

3. In the list of games on the left-hand side of the window, highlight XCOM 2.

4. In the list of links on the right-hand side of the window, select Community Hub.

5. Select the Workshop tab.

6. Use the Browse tab in the workshop to search for mods. To subscribe to a mod, click on the Subscribe button (“+” icon) on the mod.

The next time you launch the game, any mods to which you have subscribed will appear in the Mod Manager on the pre-game Options window.

To unsubscribe from a mod:

Windows Steam On Mac

You can also unsubscribe from mods via the Steam Workshop. To do so:

1. From the Workshop tab, place your mouse pointer over the Browse tab, then select Subscribed Items from the drop-down menu.

2. A list of the mods to which you are subscribed will appear. Click on the Unsubscribe button next to a mod to unsubscribe from it.

Once you have unsubscribed from a mod, it will no longer appear in the Mod Manager.

Installing mods that you have downloaded

It's also possible to download mods from sources other than the Steam Workshop. In this case, you'll need to install the mod manually.

To install a mod manually:

1. Open the Steam application.

2. Select Library.

3. In the list of games on the left-hand side of the window, right-click on XCOM 2, then select Properties.

4. Select the Local Files tab.

5. Select Browse Local Files….

6. The “XCOM 2” folder will open. Navigate to XCOM2Data/xcomgame/mods. If the “mods” folder does not already exist, you should create it yourself.

7. Copy the folder of the mod you want to install into the “mods” folder.

8. From the “XCOM 2” folder, navigate to XCOM2Data/xcomgame/config.

9. Open the defaultmodoptions.ini file in a text editor.

10. Add a line to the bottom of the file that says:
    ActiveMods='[MOD NAME]'
    …where [MOD NAME] is the name of the mod file you are adding, excluding the file extension. For example, if the mod is called LW_SMGPack.XComMod, you would add the line ActiveMods='LW_SMGPack'

11. Save the defaultmodoptions.ini file, then close it.

The next time you launch the game, the mod will appear in the Mod Manager on the pre-game Options window.

To uninstall a mod that you've installed manually, you must delete its folder from the “mods” folder. You should also remove the line from the defaultmodoptions.ini file. Once you have deleted a mod, it will no longer appear in the Mod Manager.

Enabling and disabling mods

Once you have installed a mod, either by subscribing to it in the Steam Workshop or by installing it manually, you must enable it using the Mod Manager before it will appear in the game.

To enable a mod:

1. From the pre-game Options window, select the Mod Manager tab.

2. The name of the mod will appear on an icon in the Mod Manager. Click on the red Off button next to the name of the mod to switch it to On.

3. The next time you launch the game, the mod will be enabled.

To disable a mod:

To disable a mod, open the Mod Manager and click on the green On button next to the name of the mod to switch it to Off.

What you'll learn

You'll learn where to install your downloaded mods and how to activate them, along with some notes on compatibility and backups.

Finding mods

Look online and find a mod that you want to try out. The main source for finding mods is the mod release section on the forums.

Once you find a mod you like that is compatible with the version of RimWorld you have, you can download them from their individual threads.

If you want to install a Steam mod manually, https://www.steamworkshopdownloader.io/ can help. This might be useful in saving historical versions or for playing offline.

Installation

1. Open the downloaded ZIP archive
2. Go to your RimWorld download location
3. Windows:
   1. Find your RimWorld directory:
      • For Steam users, the directory is typically: C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonRimWorld
   2. Drag and drop the extracted ModName folder into your RimWorldMods folder (not in Core)
      • Make sure not to 'double extract' your mod, e.g. RimWorldModsModfolderModfolder, when extracting your mod
4. Mac:
   1. Right-click the RimWorld application and show package contents
      • For Steam users, the directory is: Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld
   2. Drag and drop the ZIP archive's ModName folder into your Mods folder (not in Core) in the application package
5. Linux:
   1. Unpack archive into the Mods folder ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/Mods
6. Start up your game
7. Click the Mods button and activate your mods.

Some mods require a fresh world generation to work.

Editing mods folder

In case your game stops running after you installed a mod, it's useful to have a backup of the mods folder somewhere. This way, you will always be able to undo a mistake that may occur.

It is also very important to never delete the ThingCategories.xml file in your mod pack; doing this will result in a black screen when trying to start the game up.

Compatibility

Not all mods are compatible with each other:

How To Install A Mod On Steam Game Mac Download

• Many content mods - such as Weapon, Apparel, Faction or even Hair mods - are compatible with each other
• Mods that change the same base game files, such as combat overhaul mods, are usually incompatible
• Mods that add functionality to base game things are compatible but usually won't include the things from content mods
• Modpack authors try to make mods in their pack compatible with each other. Adding or updating mods might break the pack.

You will know if you have incompatible mods if you are having serious gameplay issues, such as unplaceable items, graphical issues, colonists getting stuck, etc.
Having a console error might point to incompatibility as well, but some mods are expected to have console errors on start up.
