TLD Mod List

Mods are only compatible with Steam, GOG and Epic Store versions of the game for Windows currently.

This website is in no way affiliated with Hinterland Games and only aims to provide easy access to published mods for the game.

HOW TO INSTALL MODS

1. If you haven't turned off sharing crash reports and analytics, launch TLD and turn these off first.
   It's important! Let's not bug Hinterland with issues unless you're certain it's their fault.
2. Make sure to backup your saves before modding, mods are usually tested, but bad stuff happens sometimes. You can find your saves in C:\Users\[your-windows-user]\AppData\Local\Hinterland\TheLongDark.
3. First of all, make sure you have the Melon Loader requirements installed.
4. Next, we need MelonLoader:
   • Download MelonLoader.Installer.exe here.
   • Run MelonLoader.Installer.exe - doesn't matter where
   • Select the tld.exe executable in your TheLongDark install directory
     (e.g. at C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\TheLongDark)
   • Wait for the download and installation to complete!
5. Now, create a folder named "Mods" inside your TheLongDark directory (if you have run the game after installing MelonLoader, the folder will be created automatically)
6. Download any mods you want using the icon, and place the .dll files inside the Mods folder (In some cases you might need to extract the .dll from a .zip)
7. Launch TLD and enjoy your modded game :)
