Workshop

The Workshop is accessed through the game's main menu ("Workshop" tile). The main page lists pages of mods available on the workshop.

Top buttons allow to sort results by Popularity, Subscribers count, Rating, Recently added and Name.

Navigation

Go to left/right pages by clicking the left-right buttons, pressing Z/C, or pressing ↚/↛ on gamepad.

Filter

Access to filters by clicking on the the top-right Filter icon, pressing X, or pressing ↤ on gamepad.

Mod Details

Access the Mod Details by clicking on the tile (out of the centre's Download button) or using ↧ on gamepad.


Actions

Download

Click on the tile's centre, enter the Mod Details page and click "Download", or press ↥ on gamepad.

ⓘ
A download can be cancelled by using the same action as to download it.
Due to an Xbox restriction, downloads cannot exceed 1 GiB per slice of 5 minutes, making the download speed limited to about 24 Mbit/s (or 3 MB/s). See XR-133: Local Storage Write Limitations.

Enable/Disable

Click on the on/off button, press T, or press ↻ on gamepad.

Like/Dislike

Mod Details action - use the "Like"/"Dislike" buttons to add/remove a like/dislike (positive/negative vote regarding this mod).

Add to Favorites

Click the star top-left of the tile, press F, or press ↤ on gamepad.

Remove

Mod Details action - use the "Delete" button to remove the Mod from your computer entirely.

Report

Mod Details action - use the "Report" button to report the Mod to Bohemia Interactive. The report reason can be one of:

  • Inappropriate content - e.g purposely offensive, warcrime promotion content etc.
  • Offensive language
  • Misleading/non-functional item - e.g game-crashing, or a vehicle mod only adding music and no vehicles
  • Other - e.g ripped content
⚠
Do not report a mod for a wrong reason (e.g "I don't like it")! Misusing the report function on purpose may lead to Workshop usage sanctions.
⚠
  • Reporting a mod removes it from the local machine and hides it from Workshop view.
  • It is important to provide as much valid information as possible.
Correct feedback Incorrect feedback
  • This 3D model has been ripped from X game (or Y website)
  • This mod pretends to add AR-15 but it actually adds a chicken
  • This mod crashes my game when I place it from Game Master
  • It's a stolen mod
  • It doesn't work
  • I don't like it

On Xbox it is impossible to change the download location. The user is limited to 20 GB of total storage for mods.

Debug Mode

Using the WORKSHOP_DEBUG define through the scrDefine startup parameter adds a combo box allowing a mod creator to select a specific Workshop mod version.
