guide Up to date Modding Guide for Newcomers

[BombaB]

Hi Everyone!
Since the game entered 1.0 LL Palworld is flooded with newcomers, and they all have the same, problem, Why mods don't work?
So, I decided to create a guide for all the Newcomers!
 

This is how things are as of yet!

 

There are many Animation and Model Swap packs on LL, but most of them were either removed, abandoned and/or need to be updated.
For this reason, i will focus only on the Latest releases that work, to avoid Misunderstandings and Workarounds.

Animation part, Latest S-Cake changed how animations register, so Animation Creators have to update their packs to the new system, but that's easy to say and takes a long time to do, as for Model Swaps, the 1.0 changed a lot of models and added new ones, so that will also take a lot of time to work on the models.

 

All right then, let's get started!
 

• The most important mod is UE4SS (Scroll down to the bottom and look for a zip called  UE4SS_v3.0.1-1018-g662df915.zip )  You need to put the files in Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64 
  Spoiler

  

   

 

• Download S-Cake  Just drag and drop the Pal Folder into your Palworld install folder.
  Spoiler

  

   

                                         (The latest version combined it's mods, so now it's much easier to set it up)

• Download PalMagic You need to put this Paks folder in Palworld\Pal\Content (You need this for Bakkas V skin and PrimalPals)
  Spoiler

  

   

• Download PalSoundBank You will have to put these files in Palworld\Pal\Content\Paks\~Mods

 

Now that we are done with the Essentials, time to see what working animations and model swaps do we have. (I will update this part every time a new updated Animation pack or Model Swap pack comes out.)

 

Animations

 

• TemtemLover's animations
• Lurker's Animation Pack
• Shiinr Animation (Download both, Shiinr_Anim_PakV1.7.1.rar the Pak file goes in SugarCake folder, and in ShiinrJSON6_20.rar the Json files goes into AnimConfig folder.)

Model swaps

    

     Pal Models

 

• BakkasVSkin (Has a Male Nude model with physics)
• PrimalPals

 

    (Make sure to run __ManifestList_Create.bat after you put the json file inside the ModelJSON folder)

   
    Character Models

 

• Nude Base Outfit (Female Nude model with physics)
• R345OT's Pal Human Pack (Detailed Female model with Aroused and Pregnancy sliders, futa mesh and clothing/armor replacements)
• Kaitzuwu's Femboy Kitty Cat player replacer

 

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Well that's about it for now, 1.0 is out, many models have changed, and added so, it takes a mighty amount of time to update everything, be patient and don't forget to enjoy the game. 

Happy Hunting!

Because those guides were meant for the old S-cake, there was a big change in S-cake, now you just put the Json file inside AnimConfig folder and S-Cake will automatically register every animation there during gameplay, the only problem is that animation creators have to update their anim packs to work with this new feature, which takes a lot of time, especially if they have hundreds of animations. Give it some time.

okay, thank you very much 💖

Just to ask, do we have any mods that let us have sex with the humans/trainers instead of the Pals?

Yes, The framework allows all that, but it depends on the animation creators, if they want to make animations for humans, i think i saw like 2 human animation in one of the older packs, but i do not remember which one was it.

There is a catch too, every npc is kinda the same, they don't really have removable clothes, so you will have to find nude models for them, but then again, if you do swap their models, then every swapped npc will be nude all the time.

PS: I think i saw a nude Zoe on nexus the other day.

most mod creators are purposefully not updating

I'm trying to follow the install instructions, but try as I might I can't even get the UniPalUI mod working because it's not very clear how to make sure UE4SS is properly installed.

 

I can't move on to SCake before UniPalUI works, and any interpretation I try on how to install either UE4SS or UnjiPalUI still leaves me unable to open the menu with shift+Y.

 

I wonder what causes this...

When UE4SS is installed as soon as you launch the game, in the main menu will pup up a window saying mod detected, as for UniPalUI and the other frameworks, they all pup up in the upper lift corner with name and version number.

hey thank you so much for the guide, would you know about some guy that used to do skins for the pals in a really good quality? mostly anthro skins, and if it would work, i totally lost his skins and cant remember the name. (found it it was T-box but still need help to know if it works with those animations packs

), and just like draghiamnl the animations are just not loading i did like you said and just place the json files in AnimConfig but yeah got nothing.

I think there is an anim creator who makes animations using t-box skins Grey's Animation Pack  but his animations will not work with the latest S-Cake, even stated on the title that it's outdated, but on the bright side, he is quite active so this might change in the near future?

BTW if you are going to use T-Box's skins, you will have to manually change your chosen pals skin, with the Pal Dressing Facility.

I have no clue what might be the problem, maybe you could make a screenshot? There is really nothing to screw up with these type of things, you just drag and drop, let's say for example i download Temtem's anim pack, it contains 2 folders AnimConfig and SugarCake, all you do is drag and drop, what goes into AnimConfig put it in your AnimConfig folder, and what goes in SugarCake folder you put in your SugarCake folder. Or you can simply drop the 2 files inside your ~mods folder directly.

Thank you. Now I know what it should look like IF I can get it working, but it doesn't help me actually to get it working.

Could I perhaps ask for instructions where to put the UE4SS and UniPalUI files in the game folders, since the instructions provided by them isn't clear to me.

 

Solved it!
 

I freshly reinstalled Palworld, and I used the steam workshop to install UE4SS.

Then I followed the install instruction of UniPalUI again and extracted the Pal folder from the \(STEAM) folder into the game's install directory.
Now it works.

You put the UE4SS in Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64 (it's in up in the guide) and you put UniPalUI in \Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods, but why you put them one by one?

I put the latest experimental one in the guide, so i guess a few steps were skipped or something, but either way, i'm happy it worked out in the end.😄

I never used this method, but if it works i'm glad! 😀It could be an alternative solution for those who have trouble setting it all up. Good find!

is there any way to have male genitals on a female character?

I have no idea, but i guess technically it's possible, maybe one of the model creators can help with that as a request?🤔

Or who knows, maybe in the near future someone will come up with something like that, now that there are so many newcomers.

In one of the setting menus you can check a box for allowing male and female animations to play

[draghiamnl]

think i just need to wait for animations that work with the new SCake.

 

[draghiamnl]

and for models I was using ZenDragon's models but they seem gone for now.
