Modding games downloaded via games pass

Not sure why the option was removed from the app and whether it will return. I can't comment for all games but those that can be modded will have their own in-game menu option.

So games that were previously able to be moded have had the option removed?

Does this mean games can no longer be moded or that mods are automatically enabled on modable games?

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Yet, not all Game Pass games allow Mods,

To see if a game is compatible with mods, launch the Xbox for Windows app on your PC, go to the game details page, and look for This game can be modified.

How to access the Mods folder

The mods folder can be accessed when you enable mods. It is necessary to add the mods you downloaded to this folder for them to work with your game. You can also remove mods from the folder (in some cases, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the game to remove a particular mod).

How to access the mods folder:

Launch the Xbox app, then go to the game details page.

Press the More actions button ... and choose Open mods folder.

Important points

Each game you enable will have its own folder mods. Mods will not work with your game if they are added to the incorrect folder.

Some games may have specific instructions on how to set up mods. Check the game developer's website to learn more.

Third party mods may not be applied to GamePass games, they are encrypted.

There are games like Fallout and Flight and Farming Simulator that have menus inside the game for authorized mods

These are the only ones possible

Hi there,

Thank you for the reply. The link above does not appear to provide any kind of how to for enabling mods.

This is part of my confusion too. From what I've read the ability to mod is now activated automatically.

Am I right in thinking you should be able to check if a game is moddable by selecting the three dots on the game image in the downloaded list then selecting manage then under the general tab the option should be there. If so on the games I'm looking to mod there is nothing there referencing mods. However I do have a game that show the below messages which leads me to believe this game is not moddable where as the others are

"Advanced game features, this game does not support advanced installation and management features." Also the get help link with this just links to troubleshooting of installing games I can't see any reference to the advanced game features.
