I made a little software (actually not that little anymore ^-^) called Mod Manager to easily play Among Us with mods (see below).
For a while, mods have been unofficially existing and not recognized by Innersloth but today it's no longer the case (see https://www.innersloth.com/modpolicy.php) and Mod Manager has been under development and still really hard to use for casual players but I think now it's really easy to use mods thanks to it.
That's why I decided to share it to you now ! (Kinda late to the party but yeah :p)
What are mods ?
Mods are little plugins to add to Among Us that add many roles, options and stuff to the game.
If you're watching Youtube or Twitch content, many content creators are using some mods. For example, Crewfu lobby uses Town of Us.
Mods are really enhancing gameplay and really cool to play with so I highly recommend to give it a try 😉
And how does Mod Manager help me using mods ?
To install mods, you only have to follow a few steps (see install guidelines below) to install Mod Manager.
Once installed, just start the software and you will see a list of mods. Select the mod you wanna use. I highly recommend to select one mod in the "General" section.
Then, just press "Update mods" and "Start game" and you're ready to play 😉
How to install Mod Manager ?
Download and install .net 5 here. (Or alternatively from here if you're using a 32bit system)
Download and install latest version of Mod Manager here (select the first file called ModManagerInstaller.exe).
You're ready to use it 😉
How can I play with my friends with mods ?
If you wan't to play with friends, they just have to install Mod Manager and you can send them the code on the bottom.
If they enter this code, Mod Manager will synchronise your mods to be able to play together !
What are advanced coolest features of Mod Manager ?
You can start Better Crewlink directly inside Mod Manager
You can create shortcuts to easily start the game with wanted mods (between "Code" and "Start game")
They are also other mods that you can combine with main ones to add maps, changes Polus, Skeld, etc …
I've been working on it on my free time since February and my mindset is to provide easy access to mods for as many people as possible because they're awesome for FREE ! I really hope you'll enjoy it !
If you have any issue, you can use the dedicated discord server here (or directly in Mod Manager on top right). It's really active and you can get some help really fast, both in English, French, Russian or Deutsch.
