While Zeekers is busy creating that juicy Lethal Company update, a new kid is on the block. Aptly titled Content Warning, this four-player co-op is making some massive waves right now. Incidentally, you can easily spruce up the game with the best Content Warning mods to make it even more fun. While the process is simple, it can be a bit confusing for the newbies. So, if you’ve just spawned in Content Warning and want to spice it up with mods, learn how to install them from our guide below.
Pre-Requisites to Installing Content Warning Mods
Like my previous modding guides, I suggest you begin by backing up your Content Warning game files. While the game is pretty small to re-download, having a backup ensures you get back to it quickly. Follow the steps below to do so:
- In your Steam library, find Content Warning. Right-click on the game on it and hover over the “Manage” option.
- Select “Browse local files” to open the folder with your game files. Copy everything in this folder to a separate location, and you’re done!
How to Install Mods in Content Warning
With the game files backed up, let’s install the mods in Content Warning using the steps below:
Step 1: Install the Thunderstore Mod Manager
- Begin by going to Thunderstore Mod Manager’s website and downloading the installer.
- Open the mod manager and search “Content Warning” on the search bar at the top.
- The manager will ask you to create a profile. Doing so is super easy so do that right away. Once done, simply select it to proceed.
- Thunderstore selects the game location by default. To double-check if Content Warning has been selected, click the Settings option in the left bar and check the third option.
And that’s it! The mod page for Content Warning will open up; we are almost ready. Keep reading to learn about the final step.
Step 2: Install BepInEXPack
BepInEXPack is a general-purpose framework that allows Unity modding. Since Content Warning is based on Unity, we need this mod to enable modding. Additionally, BepInEXPack handles mod dependencies for us. Let’s take a look at how to install BepInEXPack by following the steps below:
- Once in the mod manager, click the “Get mods” tab on the left. This will display the mods available for installation.
- BepInEXPack is pinned at the top. Click on it to bring up a pop-up and then click on “Download“
- A drop-down menu will now open up, asking you to select the version. Leave it be and instead click on “Download with dependencies.”
- Once downloaded, it will show up in the My Mods tab. Finally, just click on the “Modded” button to start the game with mods.
Congratulations, you now know how to install mods in Content Warning. From here on, it is a simple process of installing whatever you need and playing the game through Thunderstore Manager.
