May 3, 2023How to install mods in DREDGE and where to download good and best mods? You need a plugin loader to properly install the modification.
Backup
First, make a backup of your game save – see the tutorial on how to do it and where to save the game.
Why should you make a copy of the game save? Because some modifications can interfere with your save game, and after removing them, your save game may break and you won’t be able to use it anymore.
How to download and install mods
To install mods, you need a plugin that loads game plugins and mods that you can download from Nexus Mods. To install the mods, follow a few simple steps:
- Download BepInEX (download the version compatible with your operating system – x86 for 32-bit systems, x64 for 64-bit systems)
- Extract the BepInEx folder to the directory where the game is installed (game default path for Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DREDGE)
- Start the game so that BepInEx can create the necessary files and folder for the mod – after a while, you can exit the game
- Now you can upload mods (.dll files) to the BepInEx\Plugins folder
That’s it, the modification installation is not complicated.
This guide was written for the purpose of installing modifications using the BepInEx tool. Some modifications may require a different program (the so-called Mod Loader) or additional components such as API – always check the modification requirements provided by the author of a given modification.
