What are the best Content Warning mods? Shortly after its release on April Fool’s Day 2024, the hilarious and chaotic Content Warning took the world by storm as thousands descended into the terrifying Old World to seek out creepy creatures and internet fame. As with most memetic games these days, of course, modders set about upping the ante almost immediately.
You might have already heard about mods increasing lobby capacity in the multiplayer game, but there are plenty of others to choose from as well. We have fully tested each of the mods in this list to ensure that they work, but more importantly that they are safe to download. We have omitted others from our list for this reason, so take care when downloading Content Warning mods – or any mods, for that matter.

QoL pack 1.3.0
The Quality of Life Pack is perhaps one of the best Content Warning mods around right now as it bundles together a lot of the other best mods into one. If you’d prefer to only add one or two of the mechanics, there are individual mods below, but the QoL Pack 1.3.0 includes increased film time, O2, flashlight duration, defib, and stun stick, as well as better face customization, going from three characters to nine. The pack also includes the More Players mod by X753, which increases lobby sizes from four to up to 128.
More Players
If you’d rather just have the increased lobby count without the extra buffs, then the More Players mod by X753 can be downloaded separately. As mentioned above, this drastically increases lobby size from four to a max of 128 players. Unfortunately, large lobbies have been temporarily disabled due to server restraints, but the option should be available again in time.
More Colors
With all those extra players, you might want some additional customization options to set you all apart. Of course, you have myriad ASCII faces to work with, but it helps to have more than the basic seven Suit colors to choose from. More Colors increases this to a massive 54 color options, including baby blue, black, and cream.
Extended Player Names
In the base game, name customization is limited to three characters. If you want to do something a bit more special, write out your name, or display a more complex ASCII face, the Extended Player Names mod allows you to do just that. By shrinking down the size of the text, you can fit far more characters on your face, across multiple lines.
LongerSprinting
One of the first things we noticed when playing Content Warning was how quickly your stamina is used up sprinting. We’re happy with some element of challenge, but when that cuts into our free time, we’re not so impressed. In the vanilla game, if you want to save your stamina for legging it away from a monster at short notice (which you do), you pretty much have to walk everywhere which is slow. LongerSprinting simply saves you a bit of time, giving you considerably more stamina as standard, as well as the option to tweak walking and sprinting settings to suit your requirements.
Infinite Flashlight Battery
Simply put, the Infinite Flashlight Battery mod stops your flashlight from ever letting you down. We don’t think this is too much of a cheat, since it can get pretty dark down in the Old World, and we’re still restricting ourselves in other ways. If that sort of thing doesn’t bother you, though, modder WDWE_games also has an Infinite Stamina mod, too, which you could swap out with LongerSprinting for never-ending stamina.
Infinite Camera
If you want an extended but not infinite camera time, we recommend simply downloading the QoL pack at the top of the list, which increases camera duration from one minute to five. Infinite Camera, on the other hand, lets your film run on forever, so you can capture every second of content while you’re in the Old World. Naturally, you still might die to monsters or a lack of oxygen, so “infinite” only applies to your life expectancy.
CWMouseWheel
Tied with LongerSprinting, this is possibly our favorite Content Warning mod based on what we’ve found to catch us out in gameplay. While the 1, 2, and 3 numerical buttons are still attached to your items, with the CWMouseWheel mod installed, you can easily switch between them with your mouse wheel as well, something we heavily rely on in games like this. When you’re caught out by a Knifo or Big Slap, you need to be able to switch from your flashlight to your camera in an instant, which is made much simpler with CWMouseWheel.
Death Status
It has to be said, Content Warning was made to be a multiplayer game. We’ve tried it on our own, and it’s near impossible. That said, there are some things that could make the multiplayer experience that much better, and one of those is knowing whether or not your teammates are still alive. Sure, you might have comms, but on the off-chance you don’t or you’re playing in a public lobby, the Death Status mod shows the status of all players on the Diving Bell screen. There’s already a green dot next to each name, but in the event of a player’s untimely death, with this mod installed that dot simply turns red.
Hell Divers
First off, no, this isn’t Helldivers in Content Warning. It does, however, take one of the most important features from the game: diving. In the Hell Divers Content Warning mod, gain a movement mechanic which lets you spectacularly launch yourself into the distance. Dive off high points or just across the ground, and your Suit yeets itself into the distance, which we assume can be used to get you out of trouble more easily (we haven’t tested it against Content Warning monsters, yet). Or just to make your SpookTube viewers laugh.
MoreProjections
If you want to film yourself on your green screen, you might want some unique projections to shoot in front of. The MoreProjections mod comes with a ‘huh?’ meme included, but you can add any images you want. Simply paste any .png image into the ‘moreprojections’ folder within the plugins folder, likely C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ContentWarning\BepInEx\plugins\moreprojections.
More Comments
Once you’ve uploaded a few videos to SpookTube, the comments can get a little boring. When you’ve had enough of the “Snail Zombie. Snailbie!” joke, there’s the More Comments mod, which contains a wider variety of quips from your loyal viewers.
How to install Content Warning mods
The method of installing these Content Warning mods depends on the mod itself. Most need BepInEx installed as well, which is automatically included in the QoL pack. With BepInEx installed, locate the plugins folder within the BepInEx folder, and move individual, extracted .dll mod files there. Packs can instead be placed directly in the Content Warning folder.
The Content Warning folder can be found here:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Content Warning
Once installed, the BepInEx plugins folder can be found here:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Content Warning/BepInEx/plugins
Follow this link to download BepInEx. Of course, these locations depend on where you installed Content Warning, but you should be able to follow this basic route to find the game files in your E: drive instead, for example.
While some of these Content Warning mods might help you to get better SpookTube content, you might still be desperate for more views.

This survival horror game is certainly full of frights, so if you need a break from the jump scares, take a look at some of the other best PC games available right now.
