Installation

Step 1: Download UE4SS

Download the file UE4SS-Palworld.zip from the custom fork releases page.

Why use this custom fork?
  • We use this specific fork because it is tailored for Palworld modding and comes bundled with the necessary configuration files, so you don't have to download them separately.
  • If you already have UE4SS installed for the PalSchema mod, you can skip this step, since it was already set up when you installed PalSchema.

Scroll down to the Assets section to find the download link.

Step 2: Verify the Download

Open the .zip file you downloaded. It should contain:

  • A folder named ue4ss (which already includes MemberVariableLayout.ini)
  • A file named dwmapi.dll

If you see both, you have the correct version.

Success

UE4SS is now installed for the Steam version of Palworld. Continue to the Configuration guide below.

PC Version Only

This applies only to the PC version. Modding is not possible on consoles.

  1. Open the Xbox app and find Palworld in My Library.
  2. Right-click it and select Manage.
  3. Go to Files and click Browse. This opens the folder where your Xbox games are installed.
  4. Navigate to Palworld > Content.
  5. Navigate to Pal > Binaries > WinGDK. You should see Palworld-WinGDK-Shipping.exe in this folder.
  6. Open your UE4SS .zip file and move the ue4ss folder and dwmapi.dll file into the WinGDK folder.

Success

UE4SS is now installed for the Game Pass version of Palworld. Continue to the Configuration guide below.

Configuration

You're almost ready to begin installing mods! But before that, you'll want to make sure your UE4SS-settings.ini is set up properly. This ensures smooth gameplay when using UE4SS with Palworld.

UE4SS-Settings

If you remember where you installed UE4SS above, you'll find the UE4SS-Settings.ini file inside the ue4ss folder. Open it in a text editor (like Notepad) and let's get started editing.

  1. Fixing Stutters: Set bUseUObjectArrayCache to false if it is currently set to true.

    Leaving it set to true can cause lag and stutters, so it is not recommended unless you're a developer planning to use the LiveView feature of UE4SS.

  2. Disabling the Console: Set both GuiConsoleEnabled and GuiConsoleVisible to 0 if you're just planning to play with mods.

    The GUI Console is only useful for mod developers and will severely impact game performance.

    • 0 = disabled
    • 1 = enabled

All Done!

That's everything. You're now ready to install some mods!

Uninstallation

To completely uninstall UE4SS from your game:

  1. Navigate to your game's Binaries > Win64 (Steam) or Binaries > WinGDK (Xbox) folder, just as you did during installation.
  2. Delete the ue4ss folder.
  3. Delete the dwmapi.dll file.

Info

Deleting these files will completely remove UE4SS and disable all UE4SS mods from your game.

QOL Tip: Uninstalling Pak Mods

If you want to uninstall your pak mods as well, you can safely delete these entire folders:

  • \Pal\Content\Paks\~mods
  • \Pal\Content\Paks\LogicMods
