Modlet Compatibility.
Darkness Falls is a total overhaul mod, which means I have changed large amounts of the XML files on a permanent basis. Not all modlets will be compatible, therefore I thought it might be a good idea to start a list of ones that do work.
USING MODLETS NOT ON THIS LIST MEANS I CANNOT OFFER YOU SUPPORT.
Confirmed Working.
Sorcery (A19 preview version confirmed working.)
Valmar's Expanded Traps (other modlets here are not confirmed)
DO NOT INSTALL COMPO PACK. It is already included, has been edited so quests work more reliably and better balance for loot/zombies.
DO NOT USE NITROGEN. It does not obey biome restrictions I have put in place for some POI's.
Known Issues.
- Animals have some issues that need to be investigated
- Food/Water don't display correctly. Anything over 100 doesn't seem to work, so bear that in mind.

Installation Instructions. (If you don't use the mod launcher)
Make a copy of your 7 Days to Die folder first!!!
Download the zip file at the link above. Unzip the Mods folder and Darkness Falls Icon and Serverconfig.xml to your 7 Days to Die folder. Overwrite when prompted.
Video here for folks who find that easier.
Installation Instructions for macOS users.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not have a mac. This is a guide I found for Starvation Mod and Ravenhearst, but it also works on War of the Walkers so it should be fine here.
1) Uninstall 7dtd. Open Finder, from taskbar choose Go -> Home. Open Library -> Application Support -> Steam -> steamapps -> common. Delete 7 Days to Die folder. Reinstall 7 Days to Die.
2) Unzip downloaded mod. Open unzipped folder. You should see 3 folders: 7DaysToDie_Data, Data, and Mods. I will be referring to this as a “home screen”.
3) Open Steam. In your games Library, right-click 7 Days to Die and choose Properties from the drop-down menu. Choose the LOCAL FILES tab and choose BROWSE LOCAL FILES.
4) Copy & paste (do not drag-and-drop) the Mods folder to this location.
5) Open 7DaysToDie_Data -> Managed.
6) Right-click 7DaysToDie.app and choose Show Package Contents. Here you should see 2 folders: Contents and Data. This will be the other “home screen”.
7) Open Contents -> Resources -> Data -> Managed.
😎 Copy & paste (do not drag-and-drop) the .dll files into this location. Mac OSX will ask if you want to keep both or replace. Choose replace.
9) Navigate back to each home screen.
10) Drag-and-drop the 7DaysToDie_Data and Mods folders into this location.
11) Open the Data folders in each location. You will see there are Config, Prefabs, and UMATextures folders in each.
12) For each of these three folders, open up its corresponding folder so you can see the contents. Drag-and-drop the mod’s contents into its respective folder. For duplicate files, mac OSX will ask if you want to Skip, Stop, or Replace. Check the “Apply to All” checkbox, then choose Replace.
13) Start 7 Days to Die and enjoy the mod!(edited)
Social Media Stuff.
Buy Me A Coffee!
There's been more than just my wife and personal friends nagging me to add ways to donate to the mod, so here's a few different ways to do so that will keep me happily stocked up on coffee while I poke the XML.
Bluefang Solutions provide the mod pre-installed for you (if selected on ordering) and this link gives me a cut of however much you pay!
Logic Servers are also very good and have provided me with a free server for testing purposes.
FRAG Servers are a new company who have provided a US-based testing server since all my testers are in the USA (Link is a refferal which gives you $5 off your first month!)
Paypal for those who just want to make a one-off donation.
Patreon for the insane folks who want to contribute on a monthly basis.
Donations/Monetary support are never expected or encouraged. No-one will be getting preferential treatment for dedciding they want to support the mod in this manner. My personal suggestion, if you want to do so, is to go the Bluefang route if you're thinking of ordering a server. It helps out them AND me at the same time, so win/win?
