Bonelab Sideload Repack

Sideloading in is the gateway to transforming a standard VR game into a limitless physics sandbox. While the game has built-in mod support, "sideloading" specifically refers to manually adding content—like scripts, code mods, or unofficial maps—that isn't available through the standard in-game repository. 🛠️ The Power of Sideloading

Quick Setup Reminder (for the review reader)

1. Enable Developer Mode on Quest.
2. Install SideQuest or use adb commands.
3. Locate Android/data/com.StressLevelZero.BONELAB/files/Mods.
4. Drop .bonemod folders or .dll mods there.
5. Restart the game.

Sideloading in is the process of manually installing third-party content—ranging from custom avatars and vehicles to entire maps—that isn't available through the official in-game mod menu.

Why doesn't Bonelab just use the official Mod.io browser?

Bonelab technically has an in-game mod browser powered by mod.io. While convenient, this browser is limited. It only allows "code mods" (mods that use the official SDK) and often lags behind the community’s pace. Enable Developer Mode on Quest

Custom Scripting: Utilize complex mods that require specific file placements not handled by the auto-installer.

• The Risk of Malware: On PCVR, a malicious .dll (code mod) could theoretically access your files. Never download from random Google Drive links. Stick to Thunderstore or Discord with verification roles.
• The Quest Ban Myth: Many users fear that sideloading mods will get their Meta account banned. False. Sideloading via SideQuest uses standard ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Meta allows this; they only ban for pirating paid games. However, cheating in online VR games using mods can lead to bans. Bonelab is single-player, so you are safe.
• Save Game Corruption: Always back up your save.sav file (located in AppData/LocalLow/Stress Level Zero/BONELAB on PC) before installing massive scripted mods.
