How to Add Mods to Your The Isle Server

Last updated: July 23, 2026

This guide shows you how to add mods to your The Isle server. Adding mods comes down to two things: getting the PAK and SIG files onto your server, and knowing where to obtain them. Small mistakes — a wrong file path or a version mismatch — can stop mods loading entirely.

Note: The Isle: Evrima can be pretty limited when it comes to modding. If you want a full modded experience, you may want to switch to the Legacy branch.

Downloading Mod Files

Since the Steam Workshop for The Isle was dissolved, you can no longer install mods using a mod ID, and there is no central modding hub. Obtaining mods comes down to knowing where to search:

  • Community Discords
  • Forums
  • GitHub pages

Your best bet is to join The Isle Official Discord and ask around there — check for developers advertising their communities or get answers in the discussion chats.

You'll need to download the PAK and SIG files for each mod you want to add.

Installing Mods to Your Server

  1. Log in and stop your server — Open the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/, select your server, and stop it first. This is important so the server doesn't overwrite your changes when it shuts down.
  2. Open the File Manager — In the left sidebar, click File Manager.
  3. Navigate to the Paks directory — Go to TheIsle/Content/Paks.
  4. Upload the mod files — Paste the PAK and SIG files for each mod into this directory. Both file types must be in the same folder.
  5. Start your server — Go back to the Console tab and start the server. Mods load automatically on startup.
Note: Depending on the type of mod, there may be additional setup. Modded skins, gameplay features, or interface mods usually work right away. Map mods require you to change some settings in your server configuration (see the Change Map guide).

Troubleshooting

If a mod doesn't load, check:

  • File paths — Both the PAK and SIG files must be in TheIsle/Content/Paks.
  • Version matching — Every file must match the version your server is running.
  • Dependencies — Some mods require other mods. Confirm all dependencies are installed.
  • Client versions — Players must be using the same mod versions as the server.
