Does Enshrouded have official modding support?
Enshrouded is a survival game that has a lot of potential. Even though it's still in early access, it has made quite an impression on fans of the genre. However, many members of the game's loyal community dream of taking things to the next level with their beloved title by implementing mods. Unfortunately, Enshrouded currently doesn’t have official mod support.
Unlike other popular survival games like Ark Survival Ascended, the developers of Enshrouded haven’t embraced the potential of official mods yet, but they are not against the idea. Nevertheless, fans shouldn’t lose all their hopes, as there are still methods to mod in Enshrouded.
Is it difficult to make mods for Enshrouded?
Keen Games, the developers of the game, confirmed on their official FAQ and Discord that Enshroud won't have official mod support at this moment. No tools or modding SDKs are provided by the studio so far, and the game cannot be easily modded using existing third-party tools like those for Unity or Unreal Engine, as it runs on a proprietary game engine.

Why isn’t there official mod support in Enshrouded?
Enshrouded is currently in early access and the team wants to focus on delivering a polished, fully released game before adding features like modding support. Other than that, Enshrouded's custom game engine does not support existing modding tools. This means Keen Games would need to develop an entirely new modding SDK or tools, which requires a lot of resources and time.

However, on the bright side, Keen Games supports modding. In their words, mods “make games truly great.” While they are open to supporting mods in the future, no promises have been made. So until the game gets a full release, the chances of an official mod support in Enshrouded are very low.
How to mod in Enshrouded
Although there isn’t an official mod support yet, you can still mod the game using unofficial mods from Nexus mods. There is a dedicated tab for all the new and popular mods for Enshrouded on the Nexus Mods website. Some of the mods that you should download in Enshrouded are:
- Giorma’s Realistic Reshade Brightness FIX
- Enshrouded Table (Beta)
- Nine’s Sandbox Save Files
- World Save for my current build Everspire Keep
However, keep in mind that using unofficial mods isn’t always safe. Modding a game using third-party mods can corrupt game files, ruin saves, or even completely crash the game.
