How to install Dressmaker mods

Updated 30 September 2026Checked against Build 410

Dressmaker has no official mod support or Steam Workshop. The community built its own. Almost every content pack runs through Yuuma’s Dressmaker ModLoader, a BepInEx-based loader with an in-game Mod Manager.

Before you start: mods are unofficial. Back up your save, and if something breaks, remove the mods before reporting a bug to the developers.

Step 1: Install the ModLoader

1. Download the ModLoader for your system (Windows, macOS or Steam Deck) from our ModLoader page.
2. Open Steam, right-click Dressmaker in your library, then choose Properties → Installed Files → Browse.
3. Drag the contents of the zip straight into that folder (steamapps/common/dressmaker).

Do not put the files in a subfolder. They must sit directly in the game folder.

4. Launch Dressmaker and open the gear (settings) menu in the top-right corner. If the loader is installed, you’ll see a Mod Manager option.

Step 2: Add content packs

Fabric, accessory and other content packs are imported from inside the game:

1. Download the pack’s .zip (for example Green Fabric Collection).
2. In game, click the gear icon (top right) and choose Mod Manager.
3. Import the zip. Recent versions have a file picker and accept zipped or unzipped packs.
4. Restart the game when prompted.

Use the Mod Manager to disable or remove packs at any time.

Updating the ModLoader

Download the new version and extract it into the same game folder. When asked, choose Replace All.

Uninstalling mods

• One pack: remove or disable it in the Mod Manager.
• Everything: back up your save, then delete the files the loader added to the game folder. For BepInEx-based loaders on Windows these are usually the BepInEx folder, winhttp.dll and doorstop_config.ini; compare against the loader’s zip to be sure.
• Steam’s Verify integrity of game files restores changed game files, but it does not delete extra files, so it will not remove the loader on its own.

Troubleshooting

• No Mod Manager in the gear menu: the files are probably in a subfolder. Move them up into the main game folder.
• Game crashes after a patch: the loader or a pack may need an update. Check the mod pages.
• A pack doesn’t show up: check that it doesn’t need a newer loader version (some need 0.6.51 or newer).
