7 Days to Die How to install a mod

1. Prepare Your Mods

Have your mods prepared. (You can find 7 Days to Die Mods at 7daystodiemods.com or nexusmods.com.)

2. Extract/Unzip Your Mod

If the mod you downloaded are in a .rar or .zip compressed file format, extract/unzip it using WinRar, 7z, or any other app.

3. Check The Mod's Folder

After you extract/unzip it, your mod should look like a folder. make sure that the mod is not in a sub-folder. for example: (MOREZOMBIEX8/ModInfo.xml) is CORRECT, and (MOREZOMBIEX8/MOREZOMBIEX8/ModInfo.xml) is WRONG.

4. Go To Your 7 Days To Die Installation Directory, Look For "Mods" Folder.

Go and find your steam directory, in the (...Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die) folder, make a new folder called "Mods". Then it should looks like this (...Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/Mods).

5. Move Your Mod's Folder Into The Mods Folder.

Move your mod folder into (Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/Mods/). in example: (...Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/Mods/MOREZOMBIEX8/ModInfo.xml) is CORRECT, and (...Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/Mods/MOREZOMBIEX8/MOREZOMBIEX8/ModInfo.xml) is WRONG.

*Notes

Some mods may require unique installation and different requirements, make sure to read the mod's requirements and installation manual if it has any. (Make sure the mods you're using are compatible with your 7 Days to Die version.)

If you're planning to use mods in multiplayer mode, then you and your friend should have the same mods installed on both 7 Days to Die directories.

Some mods are just not compatible with multiplayer mode.

Some mods may cause game instability and performance impacts, use the mod wisely.

Some mods may have an adjustable configuration; you may find a "Config" folder inside your mod folder. Inside the Config folder may be an XML file. You can edit the XML file with a text editor, but only do this after acknowledging what you are doing.
