Advice on how mods works for Days Gone

[Strock]

Hey guys does Days Gone has mods on steam? I cannot locate the workshop tab for the mods as other games do.

I don't know if there's a workshop for Days Gone mods. I don't think so, but there might be.

But there is Nexus Mods and it's Days Gone mods, at https://www.nexusmods.com/daysgone
If you have made a/some mods for DG, I think you can submit them to Nexus Mods, for inclusion on their mods pages.
There appears to be duplicate mods, from different people on that site, it seems likely that different modders came to the same idea about a mod they would like, so figured out a way to do it and submitted their mod.

I wouldn't know where to start, adding mods to a game isn't something I've done, yet. Let alone designing and writing the code for a mod, if that's what you do.

You have to go through Nexus... I've modded my game to just be a Daryl Dixon simulator with Merle as Booster. Works really well.

Mods are incredibly easy to add manually, each mod instructs you what to do... which after changing the name of a file, its just a matter of downloading the mod and dropping it into the paks folder which you'll see if you follow the instructions the modders give.

Its fool proof dude, its really simple just take your time

Yep, use Nexus, it's fairly easy to mod being a Unreal Engine game.

A couple of simple steps, create a Paks folder in

%localappdata%\BendGame\Saved

And rename the sfpaks folder located in

..\Steam\steamapps\common\Days Gone\BendGame\Content

To something else, the name doesn't matter.

Then the majority of mods you download will just be .pak files which go into the Paks folder you created in the first step.

Thank you so much guys for the help. Really appreciate it.

Just be careful because some mods can irreversibly corrupt your save game, always read the comments section before installing mods from Nexus Mods
