Mods for SnowRunner are now live on PS4 and Xbox One! We’re getting a high number of support requests to mod.io HQ right now, so we’ve created this FAQ to hopefully answer some of the most common questions. 
Q: How do I use mods with SnowRunner on PS4 / Xbox
A: Everything is in-game, so you just launch the game, enter the mod browser, subscribe to a mod, then activate it when the download is complete.
Q: I see a 401 error / the mod menu is empty / I can’t subscribe or unsubscribe to mods.
A: You can usually resolve this issue by reauthenticating to the mod menus;
- Go to the mod browser page
- Press the Triangle button (PS4) or Y button (Xbox)
- Scroll down to the «Log Out» option at the bottom of the list
- Confirm you wish to log out of mod.io
- Go back to the mod browser, and follow the instructions to authenticate
Q: I get an error stating mod failed to install with error code -1, -2, -5, -7 or similar.
A: Error Code -5 and -7 are internal error codes to SnowRunner itself and not a mod.io related error. These usually appear when a mod or several mods have been installed that is not compatible with the game or have some kind of issue or error. Subscribing to mods that require manual installation, are not valid or broken mods, or mods for an older version of the game, may cause this issue, and you should unsubscribe from these mods. If you’re unsure which mod may cause the error, you should unsubscribe from all mods, then resubscribe one by one.
Q: I am subscribing to mods on the mod.io website, but they do not appear in game
A: Only the mods available from the mod browser are available for consoles. Most of the mods on the website are currently PC only (see next Q&A). Subscribing to mods that are not available on the console mod menu will not be available on these platforms.
Please use the mod browser to discover and install mods on consoles, or click here to browse console-approved mods.
Q: I can only see a limited number of mods on XBOX / PS4? Why is this?
A: Mods on consoles must be pre-approved before appearing in the game — and as such, there is a limited subset of mods on consoles. Due to the rules imposed by console platforms, some mods are not suitable for consoles and are not available. More mods are slowly being added to consoles, as they must be manually pre-approved by the developer/console platforms. More will slowly appear over the days and weeks.
You can now read a blog post from Focus Home Interactive about the selection process and requirements for mods on Consoles, by clicking here. Please use the mod browser to discover and install mods on consoles, or click here to browse console-approved mods.
Q: Certain mods were available before, but have now gone — why is this?
A: All mods when they are updated require re-approval and will be unavailable while this process happens. Also, some mods have found to have issues and may be removed temporarily as they are reviewed by the Focus Home team.
Q: Why are mods I have subscribed to not available or downloading slowly?
A: If you are experiencing slow downloads, or mods are not appearing as quickly as you expect, this is due to the large file sizes of some of the mods available. Mods will download in the background only while the game is running, at a fixed transfer speed. Please be patient and allow plenty of time for these mods to appear while the game is running. If you don’t wish to wait, we recommend choosing some of the smaller mods that are available instead.
Q: I have an issue with SnowRunner crashing/compatibility with mods within SnowRunner
A: As we only provide the backend API that the developers use to implement mod support — for issues loading the content, please contact the game’s developers, Focus Home Interactive, directly- support@focus-home.com
Q: I am getting an error message stating ‘Not Enough Space’ — but I have not subscribed to any mods yet.
Consoles only have limited space (1GB) allocated for mods across all games — regardless of how much free storage you have. You may need to check what you have installed on your console and remove some things to find the space. Also, some of the Focus Home mods are close to 1GB big, so you may only be able to have 1 mod installed at a time due to the space limitation.
Clearing your cache, or reinstalling the game, can sometimes fix issues around this.
Q: I am seeing a 401 error code in SnowRunner on XBOX / PS4
A: This error usually appears when there is an issue contacting SnowRunner’s servers. Please ensure you have an active internet connection and try again. If you are still having issues, please contact Focus Home Interactive directly for support — support@focus-home.com
Q: The mods option is grey and I cannot select it
This issue can be caused by the option ‘Allow User-generated Content’ being disabled in the console’s settings.
This issue can be caused by the use of child accounts that fall into the age bracket of 15 years old or younger on Xbox, or 13 or under on PlayStation. Microsoft does not provide us with exact dates of birth for privacy reasons — they only provide us with an age range (i.e. 10-14) — as such legally we must reject the login request as we don’t know if its the child is above or below the age of 13 in order to comply with COPPA laws.
if an adult account is failing the check they are signed into more than one Xbox Live account, which is why a lot of games suggest logging out of all other accounts prior to starting a particular game to prevent issues like this. If 2 users are logged in for example and one is marked as Child and one Adult, it’s best for us to reject the login request as we don’t know if its the Child or the Adult playing.
Q: I am seeing a 401 error code in SnowRunner on PC
A: Mods are currently not available on the Test / Preview server of SnowRunner. If you are using the mainstream version, the typical fix for this issue is to force Snowrunner to reauthenticate. You can do that by deleting the following file and restarting the game: C:Users%USERNAME%DocumentsMy GamesSnowRunnerbaseMods.modioau — you must have a legal copy of the game for mods to work.
Q: The authentication code is not working
A: The security code is only valid for 15 minutes, and you can only request one code every 15 minutes. Please wait for a while, then restart the game and try again after 15 minutes. If you still have issues, please contact us by clicking here.
Q: I did not receive an authentication code
A: Please check your spam/junk folder, and wait a few minutes for the code to arrive. If the code is not in your spam/junk folder that likely means you misspelled your email. Please wait for 15 minutes, then trying again, ensuring you are entering your e-mail address correctly — common mistakes we are seeing in our logs are;
— Users putting spaces or other invalid characters in their e-mail address — e-mail addresses cannot have spaces.
— Users using commas instead of dots in their e-mail address
— Users mis-spelling their e-mail address by mistake and not realizing
— Users not putting the .com on the end of their address, or using .com when the address has another extension, such as .co.uk
Note the security code is only valid for 15 minutes, and you can only request one code every 15 minutes. Please wait for a while, then restart the game and try again after 15 minutes. If you still have issues, please contact us by clicking here.
Q: I am seeing a 422 error code when authenticating
A: The error code 422 usually means something was malformed when it was entered into one of the boxes.
— Users putting spaces or other invalid characters in their e-mail address — e-mail addresses cannot have spaces.
— Users using commas instead of dots in their e-mail address
— Users mis-spelling their e-mail address by mistake and not realizing
— Users not putting the .com on the end of their address, or using .com when the address has another extension, such as .co.uk
— This may mean that you are entering your email when you should be entering a 5 digit authentication code, or the authentication code you are entering is not valid. Make sure the authentication code you are entering is exactly 5 digits long (i.e. ZAOYC). If that doesn’t work we recommend you exit the game and start again, entering your email then authentication code
Q: I am seeing Error Code 0 when selecting the mod menu
A: If you’re seeing «Error Code 0: Connection Timed Out,» then this usually means your game is unable to contact SnowRunner’s servers for any online service and isn’t a mod.io issue. Check that your PC or console is connected to the internet, and is not being blocked by a firewall. Also check to see if you find other online features, such as multiplayer, that are also not working — if this is the case, you will need to report this to the developers directly at snowrunner@saber3d.com
Q: I am seeing Error 10001 or Error 10005 and mods will not download
We have been investigating the cause of this error and have established that these errors are not occurring within the mod.io network or infrastructure.
SnowRunner proxies requests through their own servers before passing these along to mod.io. The developers are aware of the issue at their end however there is no one fix and each issue will need to be diagnosed individually as there may be several different causes specific to you.
One common cause could be the use of a VPN, proxy server, firewall rules, anti-virus software, or custom DNS service. Please try to eliminate these possible causes first.
10001 error means that the request has failed due to unknown reasons.
10005 error means the request timed out.
Having spoken to the team, they have asked that anyone facing issues with these error codes please contact their support team, at snowrunner@saber3d.com. They will then check their logs to try and assist you with this issue.
Q: I am using the Epic Games Store version and the mod menu says it is ‘offline’

1. Close SnowRunner
2. Browse to C:Users%USERNAME%DocumentsMy GamesSnowRunnerbaseMods.modio
3. Delete the authentication.json file

Доброго времени суток. Возникла проблема с подключением к сервису mod.io. При входе в раздел модификации, игра выдает вот такое сообщение, при этом, сразу после повторного обновления страницы модификации отображаются в течении, примерно, секунды и далее снова выдает ошибку. Играю на последней релизной версии в EGS. Переустановка игры не помогла, смена сети тоже. Проблема появилась вместе с установкой последнего DLC.
