Content Warning Virality No Longer Working

Content Warning is all about becoming an internet sensation by exploring creepy places and filming the chaos. But with fame comes competition, and one way players were trying to gain an edge was with mods that let them bring more friends along on their spooky adventures. Unfortunately, recent updates have thrown a wrench into the modding scene.

The Rise and Fall of the “Virality” Mod

For a hot minute, clever players found a way to bypass the standard four-person party limit in Content Warning. Mods like “Virality” let you cram more friends into your game, promising even more chaotic (and view-worthy!) footage. However, this golden age of modding was short-lived.

Turns out, the Content Warning devs had a very good reason to put a limit on party size. Those extra players were putting a strain on the game’s servers! Bigger lobbies meant bigger files, and those files cost money to send through Steam. So, sadly, the devs had to temporarily pull the plug on these party-size increasing mods.

Hope for the Future?

The good news is that the devs understand how much players love these mods. They’re looking into ways to lift the party size restriction in the future. It might take some time, but that day could come!

There Are Still Awesome Mods Out There

While you may not be able to bring a whole army of friends into Content Warning right now, there are still tons of fun mods that do work. These range from new maps, goofy character skins, and even helpful quality-of-life tweaks. The modding community is active, so keep an eye out for new creations all the time!

How to Install Content Warning Mods

Here’s the quick rundown on modding, just in case you’re new to it:

1. Get BepInExPack: This is the foundation for most Content Warning mods. You can find it on Thunderstore along with an easy Mod Manager to help with installation.
2. Find Your Mods: Thunderstore is the best place for this. Browse around, find what looks cool, and download!
3. Install Time: If you’re using the Mod Manager, it’s easy. If not, you’ll need to copy the mod files into your Content Warning game folder, within the “BepInEx” folder.

Final Words

Mods can be super fun, but use them responsibly! Some might cause glitches, and the whole “party size limit” situation shows that mods can be disabled by the devs if needed. Always read descriptions, and if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
