How to Create Your Own Mods for Hello Neighbor with the Mod Kit
Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game where you sneak into your neighbor’s house to find out what he’s hiding in his basement. But what if you want to create your own scenarios, traps, and secrets? That’s where the Hello Neighbor Mod Kit comes in.
The Hello Neighbor Mod Kit is a free tool that lets you mod the game using Unreal Engine 4. You can access it from the Epic Games Store[^1^] and download it for free. The mod kit contains all of the game content you need for creating your own creepy neighbor’s house, adding new diabolical traps, and whatever else you’ll want to hide in his basement. You can also share your mods with other players through the Steam Workshop or ModDB[^3^].
To get started with the mod kit, you need to have Unreal Engine 4.20.3 installed on your computer. You can download it from the Epic Games launcher. Once you have it, you can open the Hello Neighbor Mod Kit from the launcher and start creating your own mods. The mod kit has a built-in plugin for Hello Neighbor that allows you to use the game’s assets, blueprints, and scripts.
There are many tutorials and guides available online to help you learn how to use the mod kit and Unreal Engine 4. You can also check out the Hello Neighbor Wiki[^2^] for more information about the game and its mechanics. If you need some inspiration, you can browse through the existing mods on the Steam Workshop or ModDB and see what other modders have created.
If you think you have what it takes to create an amazing mod for Hello Neighbor, you can also enter the #hellomods competition[^4^], a mod contest hosted by tinyBuild and ModDB. The contest runs until January 6, 2023, and offers prizes such as cash, merch, and a chance to meet the developers of Hello Neighbor. All you need to do is create a mod using the mod kit and upload it to ModDB with the #hellomods tag.

One of the best features of the Hello Neighbor Mod Kit is that you can play your mods in the full version of the game on Steam. You can package your mods into a pak file and upload them to the Steam Workshop, where other players can download and play them. You can also rate and comment on other mods and give feedback to the modders.
To package your mods, you need to use the Unreal Frontend tool that comes with the mod kit. You can find it in the HelloNeighborModKit/Binaries/Win64 folder. You need to select your mod project and choose Package Project > Windows (64-bit). This will create a pak file in the HelloNeighborModKit/HelloNeighbor/Mods folder. You can then upload this file to the Steam Workshop using the Steam client.
Alternatively, you can also play your mods within the Unreal Engine itself. You can launch your mod project from the Epic Games launcher and test it in the editor. You can also export your mod as a zip file and upload it to ModDB, where other players can download and play it without Steam. You can find your mod folder in the HelloNeighborModKit/HelloNeighbor/Mods directory.
