Enable PC game mods
"Mods" are content modifications created by enthusiasts to help extend gaming experiences. Mods can be fun but there are some important tidbits to keep in mind.
Important things to know about mods
Mods—while fun—aren’t official Xbox products. When using mods, consider these factors:
- You mod at your own risk—the stability and security of your Windows 10 device might be affected
- Disabling mods for a game (i.e. disallowing them completely) requires uninstalling and reinstalling the game
- Achievements and other Xbox Live features may be unavailable
- Your Xbox Live and device data may be accessed by the mod’s creator. Your personal data may also be exposed.
- Future game updates may not be compatible with the installed mods
- Ease of Access features may not work properly
- Mod content isn’t rated by the ESRB or other boards and may not be appropriate for every age
- Mods are not owned, operated, or tested by Microsoft. Microsoft is not responsible for game mods or actions taken by mods installed on your device.
To see if a game supports mods, launch the Xbox app on your Windows 10 device, go to a game’s details page, then look for This game supports mods.
Once you’ve found a game that supports mods, install it, then do the following:
- Launch the Xbox app then go to the game’s details page.
- Press the More button …, choose Enable mods, then follow the prompts.
Once you’ve done this, the game’s folder will become accessible for modding.
How to access the mods folder(5)
The mods folder can be accessed when you enable mods. Mods you download need to be added to this folder for them to work with your game. You can also remove mods from the folder (in some cases, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the game to remove individual mods).
To access the mods folder:
- Launch the Xbox app then go to the game’s details page.
- Press the More button …, then choose Open mods folder.
- Each game you enable has its own mods folder. Mods won’t work with your game if they’re added to the wrong folder.
- Certain games may have specific instructions for setting up mods. Be sure to check the game developer’s site for more info.
If you want to disallow a game from using mods completely, uninstall and reinstall the game.
- Launch the Xbox app.
- From Installed games, right-click the game, then choose Uninstall game. This will remove the game, all associated files, related add-ons, and mods from your local device.
- Reinstall the game.
Note In most cases, you don’t need to uninstall and reinstall a game to remove individual mods. For more info about managing your mods, see the section above, ”How to access the mods folder.”
Important Unless the game uses cloud saves, uninstalling and reinstalling the game will cause you to lose your progress. Be aware of how enabling mods may affect your entire gameplay experience before enabling and installing.
How to use mod managers(2)
If your mod manager doesn’t run and Windows says you don’t have appropriate permissions to access the item:
- Make sure you’ve clicked on enable mods for the specific game from within the Xbox app.
- Make sure your mod manager isn’t stored in the ModifiableWindowsApps folder. Mod managers will fail to run if they’re placed in the game's folder under ModifiableWindowsApps.
How to control mods for child accounts(12)
Set up a Microsoft account(3)
Make sure your child is set up with their own child account in your Microsoft family group.
By creating a Microsoft account for each person in your family, you can personalize each family member’s online experience based on age-appropriate limits that you set. Those settings will apply to any PC or Xbox device they sign in to. You can set this up in a couple different places:
Sign your child in to their Microsoft account(6)
Like other family settings, restrictions on mods only work when your child is signed in to their child account.
- Check who’s signed in on the Xbox app:
- Launch the Xbox app on your PC.
- Click the gamerpic in the top-right corner.
- Verify that your child’s gamerpic and gamertag are displayed.
If a different gamerpic and gamertag are displayed, sign them out, and then sign your child in.
Enabling mods isn’t available for child accounts in the Xbox app, so as long as your child is signed in to their account, the Enable mods button is disabled.
- Check who’s signed in to Windows:
- Go to Start > Settings > Account.
- Verify that your child’s Microsoft account name is displayed on the Your info tab.
If a different name is displayed, sign them out, and then sign your child in.
Verify that your child isn’t an Administrator(2)
Account administrators can bypass restrictions and manage other users on a device, while secondary accounts added to a Windows 10 PC are Standard Users by default.
To verify that your child is a Standard User, not an Administrator:
- Log in to the adult Administrator account on your PC.
- Go to Start > Settings > Account.
- Select Family & other users.
- Select your child’s account and click Change account type. Verify that Standard User is selected in the Account type dropdown.
