Prerequisites
Verify Palworld files in Steam. Install Visual C++ x64 redistributables. Back up your Saved/ folder before anything.
Install UE4SS
Download the latest UE4SS release from GitHub, drop the contents into /Palworld/Pal/Binaries/Win64/. Launch once to generate the config.
Install a mod
Grab .pak mods from Nexus Mods and place them in /Palworld/Pal/Content/Paks/~mods/. Client mods run instantly; server mods must live in both server + client Paks.
Update workflow
After every Palworld patch, wait 48–72 hours for mod authors to update. Move ~mods/ out of Paks/ before patching, then move back after verifying compatibility.
Scripting framework for UE mods.
