How to install mods in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds

By Ambar Jimenez | 2025-09-22 09:16:54
Sonic Racing Crossworlds is a kart racing game that builds on the foundations of previous Sonic titles, offering a fresh experience with a variety of customization options and features. While the official release is highly anticipated, the modding community has already created a wealth of content, including new characters, tracks, and more. This article will provide you with the methods for installing and using these mods on PC.

How to Install and Use Mods in Sonic Racing Crossworlds

Currently, all mods for Sonic Racing Crossworlds are for the PC version only. As the game is not yet fully released, modding at this stage is generally safe, but be aware that developers may implement measures to restrict modding in the future to ensure fair play, particularly in online modes.There are two primary methods for installing mods, and the method you use depends on the specific requirements of the mod you've downloaded. You should always check the mod's description or readme file for specific instructions.

Method 1: The Mods Folder

This method is for simple mods that do not require any additional tools. It involves placing the mod files directly into a specific game directory.

  • Locate Local Files: Open your Steam library, right-click on Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and select Manage, then Browse local files.
  • Navigate to the Paks Folder: Follow this path from the game's root directory: SonicRacingCrossworlds\ONTUNION\Content\Paks.
  • Create the Mods Folder: If it doesn't already exist, create a new folder here and name it Mods.
  • Place Mod Files: Put your downloaded mod files into the newly created Mods folder.
  • Run the Game: Launch the game as you normally would. The mod's effects should now be active.

Method 2: Using UE4SS (Unreal Engine 4/5 Scripting System)

Some more complex mods, especially those that add new characters or change core gameplay mechanics, require a tool called UE4SS to function.

  • Download and Extract UE4SS: Download the experimental version of UE4SS from a trusted source, such as a modding community Discord or GitHub. Extract the contents of the downloaded .zip file.
  • Place UE4SS Files: Navigate to the game's binaries folder: SonicRacingCrossworlds\ONTUNION\Binaries\Win64. Copy all the extracted files from the UE4SS archive and paste them into this directory.
  • Edit the Configuration File: Open the UE4SS-settings.ini file with a text editor like Notepad. Find the following lines and modify them as instructed:

    • [EngineVersionOverride]
    • MajorVersion = 5
    • MinorVersion = 4
    • ConsoleEnabled = 1
  • Place the Mod: Now, download your desired mod and place its files into the ue4ssMods folder, which should now be located inside the Binaries\Win64 directory. For example, the full path would be SonicRacingCrossworlds\ONTUNION\Binaries\Win64\ue4ssMods.
  • Launch the Game and Activate: Launch the game. Once in the main menu or in a race, press the ~ key (the tilde key, typically located below the Esc key) to open the developer console.
  • Enter Commands: In the console, type open pl_menu to access the modding menu or open pl_race to bring up the in-game modding menu during a race.
  • By following these instructions, you can expand your Sonic Racing Crossworlds experience with a variety of community-created content, from new characters and skins to other exciting features.
