  1. How to Install Mods in Wurm Unlimited
  2.  
  3. Automatic Installer Method
  4.  
  5. The automatic method is quick and easy, but once the mods are installed, you have to manually remove them and patch the game. NOTE: If you run into a situation where WU won’t load after running this installer, you should run the installer with admin rights so it can update all files. Worst case, delete the folders under the WurmLauncher/mods folder and start over.
  6.  
  7. Close Wurm Unlimited, if you haven’t already.
  8.  
  9. Download the Client Modloader Installer here:
  10. https://github.com/Jubaroo/ClientModloaderInstaller/releases/tag/0.11
  11.  
  12. Run the installer .exe file as administrator. During the install process, it will give you a list of mod checkboxes for mods to install. Select the mods you want. Uncheck ESP before install, it’s banned on Mythmoor. Also note that the scanner and bot mods (not in the installer) are banned. Navigate to your WurmLauncher folder on whatever drive you have your Wurm Unlimited installed.
  13.  
  14. Mods included are Improved Compass, Custom Actions, Time Lock, Live Map, Improved Improve, Custom Client Render, Configure Seasons, 3rd Person View, ESP (banned on Mythmoor), Cave Vision, Archeology Groups, Skill Gain Tracker and Better Tooltips.
  15.  
  16. Whenever a new patch arrives, it may be necessary to run patcher.bat from your WurmLauncher folder (C:\Program Files x86\Steam\steamapps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmLauncher). Also note that some new Wurm Unlimited patches break the mods and the authors have to come out with new versions, which can take time.
  17.  
  18.  
  19. Manual Method
  20.  
  21. Why install manually? It gives you total control over your mods folder. It also allows you to install the latest versions of the mods, where the installer (above method) may not always be up to date.
  22.  
  23. Close Wurm Unlimited, if you haven’t already.
  24.  
  25. Download and install an app that extracts ZIP files properly (if you don’t already have one installed) so that stored file\folder locations are extracted properly. Here are a couple options:
  26.  
  27. WinRAR - https://rarlab.com/download.htm
  28. 7zip - https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
  29.  
  30.  
  31. Download the Wurm Client ModLauncher here: https://github.com/ago1024/WurmClientModLauncher/releases/tag/v0.10.1
  32.  
  33. Download the mods you want. Here are some links:
  34.  
  35. Livemap - A live minimap that helps in navigation. Also shows mine layout and veins. https://github.com/ago1024/LiveHudMap/releases/tag/v1.8
  36.  
  37. Improved Compass - Keeps compass on all the time, adds coordinates and height info. https://github.com/bdew-wurm/compass/releases
  38.  
  39. Better Tooltips - Gives more detailed mouse hover tooltip info. https://github.com/bdew-wurm/tooltips/releases
  40.  
  41. Improved Improve - Used for streamlining improving items.
  42. https://github.com/munsta0/WUClientImprovedImprove/releases/tag/1.0
  43.  
  44. Custom Actions - Allows you to bind any action. https://github.com/bdew-wurm/action/releases
  45.  
  46. Max Toolbelt - A toolbelt mod.
  47. https://github.com/bdew-wurm/toolbelt/releases
  48.  
  49. Skill Gain Tracker - Track skill points at a glance.
  50. https://github.com/bdew-wurm/skilltrack/releases
  51.  
  52. Archeology Groups - Better organize archeological fragments in inventory.
  53. https://github.com/bdew-wurm/archeogroup/releases
  54.  
  55. NOTE: ESP, scanner mod and bot mods are banned on Mythmoor.
  56.  
  57. Open each ZIP (from the previous 2 steps) and uncompress/extract to your Wurm Unlimited “WurmLauncher” folder (using the archive app from step 2). The WurmLauncher folder is typically located at:
  58.  
  59. C:\Program Files x86\Steam\steamapps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmLauncher
  60.  
  61. This will create the “mods” folder (if it doesn’t already exist), subfolders/files for each MOD and copy all necessary files. There’s one more step on the next page.
  62.  
  63. Navigate to the WurmLauncher folder and run patcher.bat by double clicking on it. This patches the mods into the game. A DOS window pops up. Press enter and the DOS window closes. You’re done. NOTE: The patcher.bat assumes the default Steam path. If you have your Steam games on another drive, you will need to modify the paths in the patcher.bat or the game will not be patched with the mods, it will fail (see messages in the DOS window).
  64.  
  65. The mods you extracted are now installed and should function when you load up Wurm Unlimited. Note that Live Map may not appear, but can be found on the Esc menu. See the respective links for more info on how the mods function.
  66.  
  67. Installing further mods is as simple as downloading the ZIP, uncompressing it into the WurmLauncher folder and running patcher.bat offline to refresh the mods.
  68.  
  69. Uninstalling mods is as simple as deleting the folder under the mods folder and running patcher.bat again.
  70.  
  71. Whenever a new patch arrives, it may be necessary to run patcher.bat again. Also note that some new patches break the mods and the authors have to come out with new versions, which can take time.
  72.  
  73. NOTE: If you insist on moving the files manually from the zips, you will need to create a “mods” folder under your WurmLauncher folder, then move the files from the ZIPs into subfolders under the mods folder. Some mods may look for specific folder names/locations, so it’s a good idea to use an archive app to extract the ZIP files.
  74.  
  75. If you run into a situation where WU won’t load… delete all folders under the MODS folder, run patcher.bat again to clear the mods from the game. Try reinstalling the mods one at a time. You could always delete the whole game and reinstall it, but that’s a drastic measure.
  76.  
  77.
