Installation
Step 1: Download UE4SS
Download the file UE4SS_v3.0.1-xxx-xxxxxxxx.zip from the Experimental releases page.
Why the experimental build?
- We use the experimental build because it supports modding for Palworld.
- 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 - A file named
dwmapi.dll
If you see both, you have the correct version.
Step 3: Download MemberVariableLayout
Download MemberVariableLayout.ini from here.

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.
-
Fixing Stutters: Set
bUseUObjectArrayCachetofalseif it is currently set totrue.Leaving it set to
truecan cause lag and stutters, so it is not recommended unless you're a developer planning to use the LiveView feature of UE4SS. -
Disabling the Console: Set both
GuiConsoleEnabledandGuiConsoleVisibleto0if you're just planning to play with mods.The GUI Console is only useful for mod developers and will severely impact game performance.
