Downloading Mods

If you're playing APICO and want to download mods, you can do it right from inside the game! From the home screen you can click on "Mods" and the game will retrieve all the approved mods that are available. Once downloaded you can choose to activate or deactivate any of your mods before starting your game. Mods are not available in the Demo.



You can also install mods not from the approved list by downloading them from the main Mod List, and using the Sideloader.
We cannot recommend these mods for security reasons so install unapproved mods at your own risk!

To make your mod "official" you will need to upload it to mod.io via our APICO Modloader tool and get it approved. Although players can choose to side-load APICO with any mod they download, they will get shown a warning around the mod when activated.
