How to Install Among Us Mods & Plays like OfflineTV OTV Crew!

Among Us might have launched years ago, but its modding community is still going strong. If you’ve ever watched the OfflineTV (OTV) Crew or other streamers playing with new roles, funny animations, or custom maps, you’ve probably wondered how to do the same. The good news? Installing mods for Among Us in 2025 is simple — and we’ll walk you through every step.

Step 1: Prepare Your Game Folder

First, you’ll need to access your Among Us installation folder through Steam:

1. Open Steam and right-click Among Us in your game library.
2. Select Properties → Installed Files → Browse.
3. Once the folder opens, delete every file inside it. This ensures your mods work properly and prevents conflicts from older versions.

Deleting files may sound odd, but don’t worry — you’ll be replacing them with the modded version next.

Step 2: Download the Among Us Mod Files

Next, download the mod pack you want to use. Many mod creators (like those inspired by the OfflineTV version) share links in community Discords, Reddit, or dedicated modding sites. Make sure to download from a safe and verified source to avoid corrupted files or malware.

Once downloaded, you should have a ZIP or RAR file. Extract it, and you’ll get several folders and files meant to replace the base game.

Step 3: Install the Mods

1. Copy all extracted mod files.
2. Paste them directly into your Among Us folder you opened earlier.
3. Do not update Among Us on Steam afterward — updates can break the mod compatibility.

To make sure everything works smoothly, launch the game using the modded Among Us executable file (the one inside your folder). Avoid running it from Steam to prevent automatic updates.

Step 4: Fix the Black Screen Bug

Some players encounter a black screen when creating a lobby. Here’s the quick fix:

1. Close the game completely.
2. Press Windows + R, type %appdata%, and hit Enter.
3. Navigate to AppData → LocalLow → Innersloth → Among Us.
4. Delete all files inside that folder.

After deleting those cache files, relaunch Among Us. The lobby should now load normally, and all your mods will appear correctly.

Step 5: Play Like the OTV Crew

Once everything is running, you can enjoy a variety of custom roles and fun mechanics — such as Sheriff, Engineer, Jester, or Lovers — just like the OTV and Friends playthroughs. You can even install themed packs that add new colors, pets, and animations for an even more chaotic game night. If you’re playing with friends, make sure everyone installs the same mod version to avoid mismatched lobbies.

Installing mods in Among Us is one of the best ways to bring back the excitement of your favorite YouTube and Twitch sessions. With just a few simple steps, you can host your own custom games, explore creative roles, and enjoy endless laughs with your crew.

Just remember: Always back up your original files. Avoid Steam updates after installing mods. Delete cache files if the game bugs out. With that, you’re ready to jump into Among Us — modded edition, and play like the OfflineTV gang!
