For all of the "official" mods, you can download them directly in-game with the click of a button!

For "unofficial" mods, you'll need to install these directly yourself using the steps below.

Whilst "official" mods have been tested and are safe (outside of a few bugs), please be careful when downloading "unofficial" mods!!

Modding

Sideloading

Installation Steps

First off download the mod's zip folder from Mod List!

You will then need to find your mods folder, in Windows this will be in "%localappdata%", in the APICO folder (not your installation directory):

Unzip the contents of the zip file to the /mods/ folder, and re-name the folder to match the MOD ID listed in the Mod List if it's not already:

Finally go into your "settings.json" file in the /saves/ folder, and edit the "downloaded_mods" list to include the mod you just downloaded:

With that all done, you'll see the mod listed in the Mods menu, albeit marked as unapproved!
You can then activate the mod and load your file as normal.
