How to Mod Dinkum?
Install BepInEx
- The first step in the journey to mod Dinkum is to install BepInEx6. It is an installer that automatically searches your PC for Unity games and then installs BepinEx for them.
- Then run the downloaded installer, and you will see a tab where you have to select the following options:
- Unity Game: Dinkum
- Version: 6.0.0-pre.1
- Release Type: Stable
- Then, click Install to see a checkmark indicating it is installed.
- Next, start the game and load it to the main menu as instructed by BepInEx, and then immediately close it. This will create a plugin folder where you will add mods and other BepInEx files.
Install Mods
For the next part of the process, you must choose a mod that NexusMods supports. You can find all the mods on the Nexus website, where you will make a free account to get access to the mods. It is recommended that you get the opinions from other players in the community about which mod to download, as some contain viruses that may remove your save file.
- Once you have chosen a mod, download it and extract the files from the zip folder using WinRar or 7Zip.
- Copy all the contents of the unzipped folder and paste them into the plugin folder you will find if you navigate the following path:
- “C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dinkum\BepInEx\plugins.”
- Launch the game and close it once you load it to the main menu screen.
If your mod does not require any configuration, your process ends here. But if it does, follow the steps below.
- Navigate to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dinkum\BepInEx\config” to find the “.cfg” files and open it with notepad.
- Now check the details on the NexusMods page on how to configure that mod according to your likeability, and save the file once done.
- Run the game, and the mod will be configured according to your preferences.
That was all you needed to know about modding Dinkum. Now, choose a mod and have fun with it.
