Hey guys. I am new to modding and do not know how to get these mods working. I have downloaded each mod I want to use, I opened the game and nothing changed. I tried unzipping the files and adding them to a folder so they are all neat. But no cigar. I am not sure how to get the game to run the mods as well.
1. Create a “Mods” Folder
You need to create a “
Mods” folder in the directory where the game is installed. We will put the downloaded mods in this folder.
For example, if you are a Steam user, you will create the “Mods” folder here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die
how to install 7 days to die mods
If you want to use mods on servers, you should create “Mods” folder in the directory where the 7 Days to Die Dedicated Server is installed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die Dedicated Server
2. Download the Mod

3. Extract the Mod and Put It to the “Mods” Folder
Extract the archived mod file. Then choose the correct folder you need to use. This is the most important step. The correct folder contains the “ModInfo.xml” file. For example:
\Downloads\ExampleModFolder1\ExampleModFolder2\ExampleModFolder3\ModInfo.xml
The correct folder is “ExampleModFolder3”. Copy the “ExampleModFolder3” folder and paste it into the “Mods” folder.
4. Run the Game and Enjoy the Mod
Important: Some mods require different installation methods. When installing such mods, consider the instructions of the mod authors.
Note: Be sure the mod you're installing is for your version of the game. Example - A20, A19 etc
