Follow these steps to put ShroudForge in your game folder, open the Mods window, and add a mod you downloaded.
Before you start
Close Enshrouded. A "mod" is an extra made by a player that changes or adds something in the game. ShroudForge has a window that shows your mods. Your game folder is the one containing enshrouded.exe.
1. Download ShroudForge
Open the latest release and save the Windows ZIP file. A ZIP is a packed folder. You need to extract it before use.
2. Copy the files into the game folder
Right-click the ZIP file and choose "Extract All". Open the extracted folder and copy all files and folders from the ZIP into the folder that contains enshrouded.exe.
A common Steam folder is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Enshrouded
The game folder should look similar to this:
Enshrouded/ ├─ enshrouded.exe ├─ dbghelp.dll ├─ dinput8.dll ├─ winmm.dll ├─ shroudforge/ │ └─ shroudforge.exe └─ mods/
The loader files and mods/ folder come from the ShroudForge release ZIP.
3. Start Enshrouded and open the Mods window
Start Enshrouded. Press F9 to open the ShroudForge window and see your mods. Press F10 to read ShroudForge messages if something is not working.
- F9 opens the Mods window.
- F10 opens ShroudForge messages.
4. Find and add a mod
Find an Enshrouded mod on a community site, for example Nexus Mods. Read the creator’s instructions, then download and extract the mod. Copy its folder into Enshrouded/mods/. Your mods folder might look like this:
mods/ └─ my-mod/ ├─ mod.json ├─ extended.mod.json (optional) └─ src/mod.lua
Follow the mod creator’s installation instructions.
5. Check that the mod is ready
Press F9 and open Installed. If your mod is listed, you can switch it on. Some mods need you to restart the game.
Mods that change game files
Mods that change game files need to be prepared before the game starts. Close the game and start it from the game folder with this command:
./shroudforge/shroudforge.exe launch "."
Playing on a server?
Your PC and the game server are separate. Copy the mod to both places if you want to use it in a shared world. See the server instructions.
