📋 About This Mod
Open the "Requirements" section above to see which mods use this loader.
How does it work?
This will load all .dll's found in the "mods" folder. What the .dll's do is up to whoever made them. Anyone is free to make a mod using this.
Disable the anti-cheat:
For the mod loader to work, you must disable the anti-cheat, you can use this tool to easily disable it: Anti-cheat toggler
Installation:
Place the contents of "EldenModLoader.zip" inside your game folder, for example: "G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game\".
Any mods (.dll files) in the "mods" folder will then load on game launch.
Uninstalling/disabling all mods:
Simply rename or delete "dinput8.dll". You don't need to delete your mods as they will no longer load without the mod loader.
Compatibility:
If you're trying to install another mod that also uses dinput8.dll, then try to put that into the mods folder.
If your system drive is not the C drive:
For the 10 people on this planet who do not have Windows on C, this mod loader will not work. This is because it is hardcoded to load system .dlls from the C drive. There are various reasons for this but for the most part it is because of my inadequacy as a programmer. To fix this yourself you may use a hex editor on the .dll for the mod loader and replace any occurence of "C:\" with your system drive letter.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 48,585 endorsements—this is the go-to loader for Elden Ring mods.
- Massive adoption (2.6M downloads) means it's battle-tested and works for most players.
- Simple concept: drop it in and DLL mods just work—no manual injection every launch.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2022—might have issues with newer game patches, so check compatibility before using.
- Only handles DLL mods; other mod types (e.g., regulation.bin) still need separate tools.
- No detailed instructions in the description—you'll need to know how to install mod loaders or look up guides.
For Elden Ring modders who want to use DLL-based mods like gameplay overhauls or custom mechanics. If you're new to modding, this is the foundation you'll need. Skip if you only use simple texture or param edits that don't require DLL injection.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod loader files directly into your Elden Ring game folder (where the .exe is) for it to work.
- If you're using other mods, install the loader first, then add DLL mods to the 'mods' folder it creates.
- Disable Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) before launching with mods—Elden Ring won't let you play online with mods enabled.
