Additionally, some mods may not be compatible with the latest version of the game, so be sure to check each mod's compatibility notes before downloading. It's also important to note that some mods may conflict with each other, so it's a good idea to only use one mod at a time. The latest versions of BepInExPack IL2CPP and Mache framework are available to install from the Thunderstore Mod Manager. BepInExPack IL2CPP and Mache are modding frameworks that are required to use some mods in Sons of the Forest.

It uses BepInExPack IL2CPP, making it harder for modders to get a good look at how the game works.

Launch Sons of the Forest and enjoy the mod.īefore you start using mods for Sons of the Forest, it's important to note that the game is not particularly mod-friendly.

Wait for the installation process to complete.

Click on the 'Download' button below the mod you selected.

Browse the available mods and select the mod you want to install.

Launch the Mod Manager and select Sons of the Forest from the list of supported games.

Download and install the Thunderstore Mod Manager from the official website.

Open the folder and click on ModAPI.exe select the Mods you want and click Start Game after that you don. zip and click Extract Here, then move the folder anywhere you want. Worst that happens is things break and you reinstall base game. Select the Mods you want and then click Download. Last point, there is no anti-cheat aning that if you wanted to try and see if you can use the mods without the loader you won't end up vac-banned for altered files either. With the users this game had in the past, I can guarantee thousands before you have tested ModAPI, and as sketchy as it may appear, it doesn't seem to actually be malicious, even if a lot of the available mods for various games can be used maliciously in their respective games. Wont run on the new update, wrong version and cant find any information about what to put in the version file to make. Make sure to click 'Play' in the ModAPI menu to launch the game with the mods. From there you can select what mods you want, what keys theyre bound to, etc. It's used incredibly often here, whether others like it or not since there is also no anti-cheat in this game and the only effective way to combat the mods is with other mods. Just extract all the files to one location then run it the ModAPI.

If you search these forums for 'griefer, cheater, hacker, or modder' its all the same, people complaining about the commonality of ModAPI users utilizing the available mods exclusively to troll public servers. To that end, I have to begrudgingly agree. The documentation, describes how you can create your own Mod for 'The Forest' and inject it into the game. I don't really mod but I think that what 2High2Tell was trying to say is that while you may not be familiar with ModAPI, several in this community (and others) are and have been using it extensively over the years without issue, so it's unlikely that you would have issue either if you do require their loader.
