Prerequisites for Modding Palworld

Before installing mods, ensure you have Palworld installed via Steam and create a backup of your save files. Most Palworld mods require the UE4SS (Unreal Engine 4 Scripting System) framework, which serves as the foundation for mod functionality.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Installing UE4SS Framework

1. Download the latest UE4SS release from the official GitHub repository

2. Extract the files to your Palworld installation directory (typically `Steam\steamapps\common\Palworld`)

3. Navigate to the `Palworld\Binaries\Win64` folder and paste the UE4SS files

4. Launch Palworld once to initialize the framework

Adding Individual Mods

1. Download your desired mods from trusted sources like NexusMods or ModDB

2. Extract mod files to the `Palworld\Content\Paks\~mods` folder (create the ~mods folder if it doesn't exist)

3. Ensure mod files have the `.pak` extension

4. Launch Palworld to activate the installed mods
