Step 1: Locate Your 7 Days to Die Game Folder

  1. Open Steam.
  2. Go to your Library and find 7 Days to Die.
  3. Right-click the game and select Manage > Browse local files.
  4. This will open the main 7 Days to Die installation directory.

  3. You should get a folder named:

    WalkerSim2

Step 3: Install WalkerSim2

  1. Navigate to the Mods folder inside your 7 Days to Die installation directory.
  2. Move the WalkerSim2 folder you extracted into the Mods folder.

Your folder structure should look like:

7 Days To Die\Mods\WalkerSim2\

Inside the WalkerSim2 folder, you should see files like ModInfo.xml and other related files and folders.

Important: This mod cannot run with EAC enabled.

  2. Right-click on 7 Days to Die and select Properties.

Troubleshooting

  • Game won't launch or errors appear?

    • Ensure that the mod is placed directly inside the Mods folder (no nested folders like Mods\WalkerSim2\WalkerSim2\ModInfo.xml).
    • Double-check that the WalkerSim2 version matches your installed game version.

  • Still having problems?

    • Refer to the official WalkerSim2 documentation or community support channels.

Important: Check for 0_TFP_Harmony

WalkerSim2 depends on a core mod called 0_TFP_Harmony, which should already be present in your Mods folder.

  • If 0_TFP_Harmony is missing:
  • Open Steam.
  • Right-click on 7 Days to Die and select Properties.
  • Go to the Installed Files tab.
  • Click Verify integrity of game files.

Steam will scan your installation and automatically restore any missing files, including 0_TFP_Harmony.
