How to Install Mods Manually

Yes, Project Zomboid mods work with GOG and other non-Steam editions because the game loads them directly from local files. Steam Workshop is simply one way of downloading content—it isn't required to use mods.

Installing downloaded files only takes a few minutes:

1. Download the archive from its page on our website.
2. Extract the files into your Project Zomboid mods folder.
3. Launch the game.
4. Open the Mods menu and enable the content you want to use.
5. If additional frameworks or dependencies are required, install and enable those first.

If this is your first time installing files without Steam Workshop, read our complete step-by-step installation guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these files work with the GOG version?
Yes. Most Project Zomboid mods work the same way on GOG as they do on Steam because the game loads them from local files. Just make sure the download supports your game version.

Can I use them on multiplayer servers?
Many mods work in multiplayer, but every player and the server must have the same mods, versions, and required dependencies installed. To find compatible downloads faster, use the Multiplayer filter while browsing the library.

Why isn't a mod working?
The most common reason is installing a version that doesn't support your copy of the game. Some mods are available only for Build 42, while others still target Build 41 or older releases. Missing frameworks, required dependencies, or conflicts with other installed mods can also prevent a mod from working correctly.

Can mods affect existing saves?
Yes. Mods that add or change gameplay mechanics, items, or maps may not be compatible with existing saves. Creating a backup before installing or removing larger mods is always recommended.

Do I need Steam Workshop?
No. Every download on this website can be installed manually without using Steam Workshop, making them suitable for Steam, GOG, and other non-Steam editions of the game.
