Getting Custom Content

Warning

While modding the game is encouraged, mods for Tiny Life are not pre-screened and could cause irreparable damage to your computer and personal data. Choose the mods you download and use with care, and only install mods from creators you trust.

Installing from Steam Workshop

To install a mod or other custom content from the Steam workshop, all you have to do is select the item you want to install, and then press the big green "Subscribe" button! After a few seconds or after restarting the game, the item should appear in-game.

If there are any errors or your items don't appear in-game, it'll be logged in the most recent file in the Logs folder in the game folder.

Installing Manually

If you don't have access to Steam workshop, you can download custom content from a variety of other sources, including:

• the Discord server, especially its 📯-tiny-life-forum channel, where you can filter posts by different types of custom content,
• the itch community,
• the official Community Showcase.

Please keep in mind that, while highly encouraged, not all custom content creators post downloads to their creations outside the Steam workshop.

After manually downloading a mod or other custom content item, installing it is pretty simple:

• Open the Tiny Life folder by following this guide.
• Find the Mods (or Custom Lots, Custom Households or Custom Maps) folder.
  • For mods, put the zip archive straight into the Mods folder.
  • For custom lots and households, put the json file(s) into the respective folder.
  • For custom maps, put the zip archive into the Custom Maps folder.

Done! Now just start the game and the added content should automatically load. Again, if there are any errors or your items don't appear in-game, it'll be logged in the most recent file in the Logs folder in the game folder.
