Installation

Prerequisite

Begin with a clean, vanilla installation of Suzerain. This mod is not compatible with MelonLoader-based mods (such as "Suzerain Modding Kit").

  1. Visit the Releases page on GitHub and download the latest With Modloader release. It will be named something like:
    SuzerainUnbound_v1.x.x_WithModloader.zip
  2. Extract the contents of the zip file directly into your main Suzerain directory — the folder containing Suzerain.exe.
  3. (Optional) To enable or disable specific patches, open the configuration file in a plain text editor (such as Notepad) and edit to taste:
    Suzerain/BepInEx/config/com.onehalf.suzerainunbound.cfg
  4. Launch the game. On the first boot, wait 1–2 minutes for BepInEx to initialize. If everything is installed correctly, a second console window will appear alongside the game window.

After a Game Update

If Suzerain receives an update, Suzerain Unbound will stop working. The safest approach is to fully uninstall BepInEx (see below), then install a new "With Modloader" release once one is available.

Make a copy of your configuration file if you'd like to keep your settings. (Note: After reinstalling, it is better to modify the new configuration file instead of overwriting it with the backup, as updates may add new options.)

§

Uninstalling

To temporarily disable BepInEx without uninstalling, rename the BepInEx folder to something else (e.g. zBepInEx). The mod loader will not run until you rename it back.

To disable only Suzerain Unbound, remove the DLLs from the plugins folder:

Suzerain/BepInEx/plugins/SuzerainUnbound.dll
Suzerain/BepInEx/plugins/DiscordRPC.dll
Suzerain/BepInEx/plugins/Newtonsoft.Json.dll

To fully revert to vanilla, delete the following items from your Suzerain directory, then re-verify files on Steam if needed:

BepInEx/            (folder)
dotnet/             (folder)
.doorstop_version
doorstop_config.ini
winhttp.dll

Disclaimer & License

⚠ Use at Your Own Risk

These patches are not guaranteed to be 100% safe. While damage to save files is very unlikely, it is always a good idea to back up your saves before modding. If you cannot accept these risks, do not use Suzerain Unbound.

Patches such as Force Achievements will permanently alter your Steam user profile. You may need a tool such as Steam Achievement Manager to revert those changes.
