Among Us Mods Installation Guide (March 2026) OTV Style Gameplay

If you’ve ever watched OfflineTV, Disguised Toast, or any popular Among Us streamers and wondered how they get those crazy custom roles like Sheriff, Jester, or Engineer, you’re in the right place. I’ve spent countless hours diving into the Among Us modding scene, and I’m here to break down everything you need to know about installing mods and transforming your game experience just like the pros.

Among Us modding has exploded since 2026, with the community creating hundreds of custom roles, new gameplay mechanics, and enhanced features that make the game infinitely more entertaining. The best part? Installing mods is actually much simpler than you might think, especially with the new host-only mods that don’t require everyone in your lobby to install anything.

Understanding Among Us Mods in 2026

Mod Type	Installation Required	Best For	Complexity
Host-Only Mods	Host only	Playing with friends who don’t want to install mods	Easy
Client-Side Mods	Everyone in lobby	Private sessions with dedicated groups	Moderate
Texture/Cosmetic Mods	Everyone to see changes	Visual customization	Easy
Proximity Chat Mods	Everyone in lobby	Enhanced communication	Moderate

The Among Us modding landscape has evolved dramatically. Early mods required everyone to manually install files, but modern host-only mods like Town of Host Enhanced (TOHE) and Town of Us R have revolutionized the experience. Now, only the game host needs the mod installed, and everyone else can join normally from any platform.

What Makes OfflineTV-Style Mods Special?

When you watch streamers like Disguised Toast, Pokimane, Sykkuno, or Valkyrae play Among Us, they’re typically using extensive mod packs that add:

Custom Roles – Sheriff (can kill impostors), Jester (wins if voted out), Engineer (better vent access), Doctor (can revive players), Detective (investigates roles), and over 300 other unique roles.

Enhanced Gameplay Mechanics – Modified kill cooldowns, custom task systems, new sabotage options, and special abilities that completely change strategy.

Visual Enhancements – Animated hats, custom pets, special effects, and themed cosmetics that aren’t available in the base game.

Quality of Life Features – Better lobby settings, anti-cheat measures, role balancing options, and detailed game logs.

The “Sussy Sundays” tradition started by OfflineTV in May 2022 brought modded Among Us back into the spotlight, showcasing how custom roles can breathe new life into the game even after hundreds of hours of play.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Method 1: Installing Host-Only Mods (Easiest Method)

This is the method most similar to how OfflineTV plays – only YOU need to install the mod, and your friends can join normally.

Step 1: Prepare Your Game Installation

1. Open Steam and locate Among Us in your library
2. Right-click Among Us → Select Properties
3. Navigate to Installed Files → Click Browse
4. This opens your Among Us installation folder (typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Among Us)

Important: Before proceeding, create a backup of your clean Among Us folder. Copy the entire folder and rename it to “Among Us Backup” so you can always revert to vanilla.

Step 2: Download Your Chosen Mod Pack

For Town of Host Enhanced:

1. Visit the official GitHub repository or Enhanced Network website
2. Download the latest release (look for the version number matching your Among Us version)
3. Save the ZIP file to your Downloads folder

For Town of Us R:

1. Visit CurseForge or the official Among Us mod site
2. Select the version compatible with your current Among Us build
3. Download either the standard version or the version with Submerged map

Version Compatibility Check: Always verify the mod version matches your game version. Among Us v2024.11.26s requires matching mod versions. Check the mod description for compatibility information.

Step 3: Install the Mod Files

1. Create a duplicate folder: Copy your entire Among Us folder and rename it (e.g., “Among Us Modded”)
2. Extract the mod files: Right-click the downloaded ZIP → Extract All
3. Replace game files:

• Open the extracted mod folder
• Select ALL files inside
• Copy them to your duplicated “Among Us Modded” folder
• Click Replace when prompted

1. Launch the modded version:

• Navigate to your “Among Us Modded” folder
• Double-click Among Us.exe (NOT through Steam)
• First launch may take 3-5 minutes – be patient!

Step 4: Configure Mod Settings

Once the modded game launches:

1. Verify installation: Look for mod indicators in the top-left corner (usually shows mod name and version)
2. Access mod settings:

• Create a public or private lobby
• Click the tablet/settings icon
• Navigate to the new “Mod Settings” or “Role Options” tab

1. Customize your experience:

• Enable/disable specific roles
• Adjust role spawn rates
• Configure kill cooldowns and meeting times
• Set vision ranges for different roles

Pro Tip: Start with default settings for your first few games to understand how each role works before customizing.

Method 2: Installing Client-Side Mods (Traditional Method)

This method requires all players to install mods but offers more customization options.

Step 1: Install BepInEx Framework

BepInEx is the foundation that allows Among Us to run mods.

1. Download BepInEx:

• Visit the official BepInEx GitHub releases page
• Download BepInEx_UnityIL2CPP_x86 (latest bleeding edge build)
• Save to Downloads

1. Install BepInEx:

• Extract all files from the BepInEx ZIP
• Copy everything to your Among Us installation directory
• Your folder should now contain: BepInEx folder, doorstop_config.ini, winhttp.dll

1. Initial Setup:

• Launch Among Us once through the executable
• Let it run for 30 seconds, then close it
• This generates necessary configuration folders

Step 2: Install Individual Mods

1. Download mods from trusted sources:

• GitHub repositories (most reliable)
• CurseForge
• ModTheSims
• Official mod creator websites

1. Identify mod files:

• Most mods come as .dll files
• Some include additional asset files

1. Install to correct location:

• Navigate to Among Us\BepInEx\plugins
• Place .dll files here
• Create subfolders for organization (optional but recommended)

1. Verify installation:

• Launch Among Us
• Look for the crewmate icon labeled “Mod” in top-right corner
• Click it to see all active mods

Step 3: Configure Individual Mods

Each mod typically has its own configuration file:

1. Launch the game once with mods installed
2. Close the game
3. Navigate to Among Us\BepInEx\config
4. Open .cfg files with Notepad
5. Adjust settings according to documentation
6. Save and restart the game

Method 3: Using Mod Managers

Some mod managers automate the installation process:

Among Us Mod Manager (by MatuxGG):

1. Download from the official website (goodloss.fr)
2. Run the installer – SELECT A DIFFERENT FOLDER than Among Us directory
3. Launch Mod Manager
4. Browse available mods in the interface
5. Click download button for desired mods
6. Click launch button to start the game with mods active
7. Switch between mods with single clicks

Benefits of Using Mod Managers:

• One-click installation for multiple mods
• Automatic version compatibility checking
• Easy switching between different mod configurations
• Organized mod library
• Automatic updates for supported mods

Fixing Common Installation Issues

Black Screen When Creating Lobby

This is the most common issue faced by modded Among Us players.

Solution:

1. Close Among Us completely
2. Press Windows + R on your keyboard
3. Type %appdata% and press Enter
4. Navigate to: AppData → LocalLow → Innersloth → Among Us
5. Delete ALL files in this folder (these are cache files)
6. Restart Among Us
7. Create a lobby – it should work now

Why This Works: Cache files from previous versions can conflict with modded files. Clearing them forces the game to regenerate clean data.

Mods Not Showing Up

If mods aren’t appearing after installation:

Check BepInEx Installation:

• Launch game once with BepInEx installed
• Close game
• Check if BepInEx\plugins folder was created
• If not, redownload BepInEx and reinstall

Verify Mod Files:

• Ensure .dll files are in BepInEx\plugins
• Check file sizes – 0KB files indicate failed downloads
• Redownload from official sources

Enable Script Mods (for some mods):

• Some mods require additional permissions
• Check mod documentation for specific requirements

Game Crashes on Launch

Solutions:

1. Update Among Us: Ensure you have the latest version matching your mod
2. Reinstall BepInEx: Download fresh copy and reinstall
3. Remove conflicting mods: Some mods don’t work together
4. Run as Administrator: Right-click Among Us.exe → Run as administrator
5. Disable antivirus temporarily: Some antivirus programs flag mod files

“Version Mismatch” Error

This error appears when your mod version doesn’t match your game version.

Fix:

1. Check your Among Us version (bottom-left of main menu)
2. Visit mod download page
3. Find version matching your game (e.g., if game is v2024.11.26s, download mod for v2024.11.26s)
4. Delete old mod files completely
5. Install matching version

Preventing This: Disable auto-updates in Steam for Among Us to maintain version consistency.

“Cannot Connect to Server” with Mods

Modded clients may have difficulty connecting to official servers.

Solutions:

• Use custom servers (like Skeld.net for certain mods)
• Create private lobbies instead of joining public ones
• Ensure all players have the same mod version installed (for client-side mods)
• For host-only mods, host the game yourself

Playing Like OfflineTV: Advanced Tips

Now that you have mods installed, here’s how to create the authentic OfflineTV experience:

Setting Up the Perfect Lobby

Recommended Settings for OfflineTV-Style Games:

• Players: 10 (classic size) or 15 (with recent updates)
• Impostors: 2-3 depending on player count
• Discussion Time: 30-45 seconds (allows for chaos and strategies)
• Voting Time: 90-120 seconds (enough time for elaborate arguments)
• Emergency Meetings: 1-2 (makes each meeting crucial)
• Emergency Cooldown: 20-30 seconds
• Visual Tasks: OFF (creates more suspicion and interesting gameplay)
• Confirm Ejects: OFF (no confirmation of impostor/crewmate status)
• Task Bar Updates: Meetings only (prevents easy impostor detection)

Essential Custom Roles to Enable

Based on OfflineTV gameplay, these roles create the most entertaining scenarios:

For Crewmates:

• Sheriff: Can kill impostors but dies if they kill a crewmate
• Detective: Can see footprints and investigate players
• Doctor/Medic: Can revive dead players or shield someone
• Mayor: Vote counts as 2+ votes
• Engineer: Improved vent access and task abilities
• Seer: Can check if someone is good or evil

For Impostors:

• Morphling: Can transform to look like other players
• Undertaker: Can drag bodies to hide them
• Bomber: Can place bombs that kill nearby players
• Swooper: Can become temporarily invisible

For Neutral:

• Jester: Wins if voted out (creates hilarious gameplay)
• Executioner: Must get a specific player voted out
• Arsonist: Must douse all players and ignite
• Lovers: Two players linked – if one dies, both die

Communication Setup

To truly replicate the OfflineTV experience, you need good communication:

Discord Setup:

1. Create a private Discord server
2. Set up voice channels for:

• General lobby chat (pre-game)
• In-game voice channel (for proximity chat mods)
• Ghost chat (for dead players)

1. Use Discord bots for automated muting/unmuting

Proximity Chat Mod (Optional but recommended):

• Install CrewLink or BetterCrewLink
• Players can only hear others who are nearby
• Creates organic discussions and accusations
• Dead players enter ghost chat automatically

Recording/Streaming:
If you want to share your OfflineTV-style games:

• Use OBS Studio for recording (free)
• Consider Streamlabs for easier streaming setup
• Adjust audio levels so game and voice are balanced
• Enable Discord overlay to show who’s speaking

Mobile Installation Guide

While mods are primarily PC-focused, mobile players have limited options:

Modded APK Installation (Android Only)

Important Disclaimer: Installing modded APKs can be risky. Only download from verified sources and understand that you cannot play on official servers.

Steps:

1. Backup your data: Uninstall will erase progress
2. Enable unknown sources: Settings → Security → Unknown Sources (ON)
3. Download modded APK from trusted source (Skeld.net, reputable Android communities)
4. Uninstall official Among Us
5. Install downloaded APK
6. Open modded version

Available Mobile Mods:

• Always Impostor mods (for practice)
• Unlocked skins and pets
• Custom game settings
• Menu mods for enhanced controls

Limitations:

• Cannot join PC modded lobbies with extensive role mods
• Higher risk of malware from untrusted sources
• Cannot access official servers
• Limited mod variety compared to PC

iOS Limitations

iOS modding for Among Us is extremely limited due to Apple’s security restrictions. Most iOS users cannot install mods without jailbreaking their devices, which is not recommended.

Alternatives for iOS Users:

• Join PC-hosted modded lobbies (you’ll play vanilla but benefit from host mods)
• Use official game’s built-in features and updates
• Consider playing on PC for full modding experience

Playing with Friends: Hosting Guide

Creating a Modded Lobby

1. Launch your modded Among Us installation
2. Select “Online” from main menu
3. Choose “Host” and then “Create Game”
4. Configure settings:

• Select your preferred map
• Set player count
• Choose impostor count
• Access mod settings (new tab)

1. Share lobby code with friends via Discord or messaging
2. Wait for players to join

For Host-Only Mods: Your friends DON’T need mods installed. They join with regular Among Us from any platform.

For Client-Side Mods: All players MUST have the exact same mod version installed.

Managing Roles and Settings

Once in lobby as host:

1. Access Mod Settings Tab:

• Click the laptop/tablet icon
• Look for “Mod Options” or “Role Settings”

1. Configure Role Distribution:

• Enable/disable specific roles
• Set spawn chances (e.g., 50% chance for Sheriff)
• Adjust role counts (how many of each role per game)

1. Adjust Role Parameters:

• Sheriff kill cooldown
• Jester visibility settings
• Detective investigation cooldown
• Engineer vent cooldown

1. Save Presets:

• Many mods allow saving favorite configurations
• Create different presets for different gameplay styles
• Quick-switch between serious and chaotic modes

Handling Problem Players

With mods, you have additional tools:

• Ban function: Remove disruptive players mid-game
• Role blacklisting: Prevent specific players from getting certain roles
• Spectator mode: Force troublemakers to watch without playing
• Enhanced logs: See detailed action logs for catching cheaters

Safety and Security Tips

Downloading Mods Safely

Trusted Sources Only:
✅ Official GitHub repositories
✅ CurseForge official listings
✅ ModTheSims
✅ Official mod creator websites (linked from Discord/Reddit)
✅ Among-us.net official mod database

❌ Random file-sharing sites
❌ Unofficial repacks
❌ YouTube video descriptions without verification
❌ Discord messages from strangers

Before Downloading:

1. Check file size (should match listed size)
2. Read comments and reviews
3. Verify last update date
4. Scan with antivirus
5. Check mod creator’s reputation

Protecting Your Account

Important: Using mods does NOT violate Among Us Terms of Service for private lobbies. However:

• Never use mods in public lobbies – this can disrupt other players’ experience
• Don’t use exploit/cheat mods – these ruin the game
• Avoid “always impostor” mods in public games – play privately
• Respect other players – only use mods with friends who consent

Account Safety:

• Mods don’t require your Among Us account credentials
• Never enter passwords into mod installers
• Use Steam Guard for additional account security
• Keep game and Steam email verification enabled

Antivirus Considerations

Some antivirus programs flag mod files as suspicious:

Why This Happens: Mod files modify game executables, which triggers heuristic detection

Solutions:

1. Whitelist Among Us folder in antivirus settings
2. Temporary disable during mod installation (re-enable after)
3. Add specific files to exception list
4. Use reputable sources to minimize actual risk

Never Disable Permanently: Always re-enable antivirus after installation!

Troubleshooting Performance Issues

Lag and Stuttering

If your modded Among Us runs poorly:

Solutions:

1. Lower graphic settings in game options
2. Reduce player count (especially important for 100-player mods)
3. Disable unnecessary roles – fewer active roles = better performance
4. Close background applications
5. Update graphics drivers
6. Allocate more RAM (if using Java-based mods)

For Host-Only Mods:

• Host needs good PC and internet
• Other players’ performance unaffected
• Consider regional servers for better ping

Long Loading Times

First launches with mods take longer than subsequent launches:

Normal: 3-5 minutes first launch
Fix if longer:

1. Verify all files extracted correctly
2. Run as administrator
3. Disable antivirus temporarily
4. Check if hard drive has sufficient space (5GB+ free)
5. Move game to SSD if possible

Memory Leaks

Some mods may cause memory issues over long sessions:

Signs:

• Game slows down after multiple rounds
• FPS drops progressively
• RAM usage keeps increasing

Solutions:

• Restart game every 5-10 rounds
• Close and relaunch between sessions
• Update to latest mod version (often fixes memory leaks)
• Report issue to mod creator

FAQ Section

Can I get banned for using Among Us mods?

No, you cannot get banned for using mods in private lobbies with friends. Innersloth has stated that mods are acceptable for private play. However, using mods (especially exploit mods) in public lobbies to disrupt other players’ experiences is discouraged and could result in temporary matchmaking restrictions.

Do all players need to install mods to play together?

It depends on the mod type:

• Host-Only Mods (like TOHE, Town of Us R): Only the host needs the mod installed. Other players join normally from any platform.
• Client-Side Mods: All players must install the exact same mod version.
• Proximity Chat Mods: All players need the mod for voice features to work properly.

Are Among Us mods free?

Yes, all reputable Among Us mods are completely free. Never pay for mods. Some creators accept donations via Patreon or Ko-fi for early access to new features, but mods always become free after a short period. Beware of scam sites charging for mods.

Can mobile users play with PC modded lobbies?

Mobile users can join host-only modded lobbies hosted by PC players. They’ll experience the custom roles and gameplay but won’t see mod-specific UI elements. However, mobile users cannot host modded lobbies themselves without risky APK installations.

Why does my game crash when I install mods?

Common causes:

• Version mismatch: Your mod version doesn’t match your game version
• Incomplete installation: Not all mod files were copied correctly
• Conflicting mods: Two mods trying to modify the same game element
• Corrupted download: Redownload from official source
• Missing dependencies: Some mods require BepInEx or other frameworks

How do I know which mod version to download?

Check your Among Us version:

1. Launch Among Us (vanilla, not modded)
2. Look at bottom-left corner of main menu
3. Note the version number (e.g., v2024.11.26s)
4. Download the mod version that explicitly states compatibility with your game version

Can I use multiple mod packs at the same time?

Generally, no. Most comprehensive mod packs (like TOHE or Town of Us R) conflict with each other because they modify core game functions. However, you can use:

• One major mod pack + cosmetic mods
• One major mod pack + quality of life mods (that don’t change roles)
• BepInEx plugins that are confirmed compatible

Always check mod descriptions for compatibility information.

What’s the difference between Town of Host and Town of Us?

Town of Host Enhanced (TOHE):

• Host-only installation
• 300+ roles
• Regular updates
• Works with all platforms

Town of Us R:

• Everyone must install
• 20+ classic roles
• Includes Submerged map
• More stable but fewer features

Both are excellent; choice depends on whether you want maximum features (TOHE) or classic experience (TOU R).

How do I update mods after Among Us patches?

1. Don’t panic immediately: Mods usually break after major patches
2. Wait 1-2 weeks: Mod creators need time to update
3. Check Discord/GitHub: Mod creators announce when updates are ready
4. Disable Steam auto-updates: Settings → Properties → Updates → Only update when I launch
5. Download new version: Follow same installation process
6. Delete old files first: Always remove old mod files before installing updates

Are proximity chat mods safe to use?

Yes, popular proximity chat mods like CrewLink and BetterCrewLink are safe when downloaded from official sources. They create a separate voice channel and don’t modify core game files extensively. However:

• Use official Discord servers for downloads
• All players need the mod installed
• Requires additional setup compared to simple role mods

Can I create my own custom roles?

Advanced users with programming knowledge can create custom roles:

• Learn C# programming
• Study existing mod source code on GitHub
• Use mod development APIs (like Reactor framework)
• Join modding communities for guidance
• Test thoroughly before releasing

Most players prefer using existing comprehensive mod packs that already include hundreds of roles.

What should I do if mods aren’t working after an Among Us update?

1. Check if mod has been updated: Visit GitHub/Discord
2. Downgrade Among Us (if desperate to play):

• Steam: Properties → Betas → Select previous version
• Not always possible with newer updates

1. Be patient: Updates usually available within 1-2 weeks
2. Play vanilla temporarily: Use official game while waiting
3. Join modding Discord: Get updates on progress

How can I play with streamers like OfflineTV?

Realistically, you can’t join their private lobbies, but you can:

• Create similar experiences: Use same mods and settings
• Join community events: Some streamers host viewer games
• Public Discord lobbies: Join Among Us modding communities
• Make your own group: Gather 10 friends and replicate their style

Are there any Among Us mods that add new maps?

Yes! Several mods include custom maps:

• Submerged: Underwater submarine map with unique features
• LevelImposter: Tool for creating custom maps
• Various community maps: Available through specific mod packs

These typically require all players to have the map installed.
