unreal-shimloader

Warning: This is currently experimental and problems WILL happen. Save often, yada yada.

This is a shim for the RE-UE4SS modloader, enabling Thunderstore Mod Manager and r2modmanPlus support.

Not using Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modmanPlus?

If you are not using either of the previous mod managers then you can opt for a manual installation. unreal-shimloader will load the UE4SS binary for you.
