Why Mod Lethal Company?

Lethal Company is one of the most fun horror, co-op party-like games available. However, due to being developed by a single developer, it doesn't receive updates regularly. Fortunately, this isn't an issue because the game has had robust Modding support since day one. In this guide, we will cover how to easily install Mods and share them with your friends to enjoy together.

Note: Your friends must have the same Mods as you to play without issues (with some exceptions/client side mods). You can easily share mods with them using the Thunderstore Mod Manager.

Installing Mods With Thunderstore Mod Manager

Luckily, there's an easy-to-use software called Thunderstore Mod Manager that allows anyone, even those who are not tech-savvy, to install mods. With Thunderstore Mod Manager, all your friends can effortlessly enjoy modded gameplay.

Note: You must always run the game through Thunderstore Mod Manager to play with mods. Launching the game from Steam will only run the vanilla version.

Manually Installing Mods

Running Modded Lethal Company

Now you can run your modded Lethal Company normally from Steam or by running the ".exe" file. Launching modded Lethal Company will also open a command prompt, which shows the process of loading mods, so don't be alarmed by that.

Managing Mods

Removing or disabling mods manually can be a bit more complicated. You can either manually remove the mod files or move them elsewhere for later use. Another option is to rename the ".dll" file and remove its extension (e.g., MoreSuits.dll -> MoreSuits). This prevents the mod from loading, but you'll need to enable file name extensions in Windows Explorer.

Note: Make sure to also rename the corresponding folder by adding "NO" at the start of the name. If you want to enable these mods again, simply remove "NO" and add ".dll" to the files that had it.
