Feedback

If you want to send me feedback feel free to drop by Outward's Modding Discord server, or the official Outward Discord. On the Outward Modding Discord server I have my own workshop channel, johbenji-workshop, so that's probably the best place to have a longer conversation. I also have a youtube channel if you wanna get into contact there (

This mod is heavily inspired by the community's ideas, so if you have any particular changes you would like then I would love to hear it and see what I can do.

Hope you enjoy!:D

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
