How To Install Hollow Knight: Silksong Mods

Step 1: Install BepInEx 5
Download the BepInEx 5 framework from Nexus Mods or any trusted source. Right-click Hollow Knight: Silksong in your Steam library, select “Manage” > “Browse local files” to open the game’s installation folder. Extract the BepInEx zip file and copy all contents into the Silksong folder. After that, launch the game once and then close it. This generates the necessary folders.
Step 2: Add Mods
Download mods (e.g., from Nexus Mods) and extract them if needed. Navigate to the BepInEx > plugins folder in your Silksong directory. Place mod files (usually .dll files) into the “plugins” folder.
Step 3: Configure Mods
Launch the game and press F1 to open the mod configuration menu. Adjust settings for individual mods as desired. Remember to always back up your save files before installing mods and ensure they are updated for game compatibility. Save data is usually located in your system’s AppData folder. Don’t overload the game with too many modifications at once, as this could cause unnecessary crashes.
