The co-op horror game Lethal Company has quickly become a popular title, and like most PC-only games, you can use mods to enhance the experience or make your adventures a little easier. The original experience is nothing short of amazing. It’s equal parts comedy and equal parts horror. But to help you take that gameplay to the next level, we’ve included the step-by-step process for installing mods in Lethal Company in this guide.
Remark:
Although Lethal Company modding is safe compared to other titles, we still recommend exercising some caution when modding.
Requirements for installing mods in Lethal Company
We usually include the method of reverting to a clean version in case there is a small chance that a mod will affect your game. However, in the case of Lethal Company, the process is safe. However, we recommend that you make a backup of the original file. To do that, follow these steps:
- Go to your Steam library and find Lethal Company. Once there, right click on it and hover over the “Manage” option.
- Here, select “Browse Local Files” to open the folder containing your game files. Copy everything in this folder to a separate location.
Currently, you don’t have to worry about the game version as long as you are using the latest build from Lethal Company. If you’re not working on it, make sure you have updated current app ID 1966720 and build ID 12681469. To find out, right-click on your game and go to its properties. The details are under ‘update’.
How to start modding Lethal Company
Now that you’ve backed up your Lethal Company game files, it’s time to install the mods. Unlike ours Starfield modding guide, where you have multiple methods, Lethal Company only has one method. And based on my years of modding experience, this is the safest process.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started with the modding process:
Step 1: Install Thunderstorm Mod Manager
- First, go to the Thunderstore Mod Manager website and download the installer. Then install it in the desired location.
- Once installed, open it. In the main menu you will find numerous games available. Search for Lethal Company using the search bar at the top.
- Select the game and you will be asked to create a profile. Thunderstore offers this option so that each profile has a respective mod. So if you like challenging gameplay, you can create a separate mod profile with different mods.
- Once the profile is created, select it.
- By default, Thunderstore selects the Lethal Company folder location. To check this again, select the settings and check the “Check Lethal Company directory” option.
We are now ready to install mods for Lethal Company. From now on it will be an easy affair, so follow the steps below.
Step 2: Install Lethal Company mods
- Click on the “Get mods” option on the left sidebar to open the store.
- Search the store for a mod called ‘BepInExPack’. It is a Unity mod framework that allows you to install mods into the game. This is essential.
- Once BepInExPack is installed, you can start installing other mods in the game.
- While installing a mod you will be asked for the version you want to install. Simply click the “Download with Dependencies” button and continue.
- To start Lethal Company with mods, click on the blue ‘Modded’ button at the top right.
Congratulations. You have successfully started Lethal Company with mods. If you ever want to play an unmodded session, launch the game from Steam.
If you ever want to uninstall or disable a mod, click on the arrow next to it and select the appropriate option from the drop-down list.
