A GIFT'S JOURNEY
How a gift reaches the game
Four stops, in under a second.
A viewer sends a gift
From TikTok, Twitch, Kick, YouTube or Starvios: a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.
OverInteractive
Receives the event, checks your active profile for the matching effect and sends it.
Sons of the Forest mod
The app installs a mod loader (BepInEx) and the OverInteractive mod in the game folder. The mod runs every effect inside your game.
Sons of the Forest
The effect happens on your island. Creatures sent by chat carry a nameplate with the viewer's name and picture.
STEP BY STEP
Getting started
Everything happens from the game's status bar, at the bottom of the app.
- 1
The app finds your game
It detects Sons of the Forest on Steam by itself. If it lives in another folder, press «Set path» in the bar below.
- 2
Install the mod in one click
With the game closed, press «Install mod». The app downloads the BepInEx loader and drops the OverInteractive mod in the game folder, without touching original files.
If you had RedLoader or MelonLoader in the game folder, the app disables them (without deleting them): with two loaders at once neither starts.
- 3
Open the game and load your save
Press «Launch game» or open it from Steam and load your save. The first time after installing it takes longer to start and the mod won't answer until the loader finishes preparing its files.
- 4
Wait for «Connected»
With your save loaded, the bar below switches to «Connected». From then on every gift reaches the island.
- 5
Choose what each gift does
In «Profiles» create an example one in a click or build your own: each gift, follow or chat command fires the effect you pick.
EFFECTS
What your chat can do
Each effect is assigned to a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.
Wildlife
Deer, moose, rabbits, raccoons, bats, seagulls, eagles, a shark or an orca off the coast.
Companions
Another Kelvin, Virginia or Timmy showing up next to you.
The survivor
God mode, sprint, heal you, hit you, knock you down, kill you or revive you.
Survival
Fill or empty your stomach, thirst and stamina, make you sick or cure you.
The island
Rain, storm, clear skies, force day or night, skip time and slow or fast motion.
Weapons
Katana, crossbow, fire axe, pistol, grenades, bow and more weapons straight into your inventory.
Items
An item of your choice or a Mystery Item, binoculars, hang glider, night vision goggles… Ammo, clothing, food and crafting materials have their own categories too.
IMPORTANT
Before you go live
Other mod loaders
RedLoader and MelonLoader stop our mod from loading. When installing, the app disables them without deleting them, so their mods stop loading. If the bar shows «Repair», press it with the game closed.
The first launch is slower
The first time you open the game after installing, the mod loader generates its files and takes much longer than usual. Don't close it: after that it starts as normal.
In co-op, you host
The world is run by whoever hosts. If you join as a guest, your character and inventory effects work the same, but creatures and clean-ups depend on the host and may not show up.
Needs a loaded save
Nothing is applied in the main menu. Creatures take a few seconds to appear: they come out of the island's own simulation.
FAQ
It adds the BepInEx loader and the OverInteractive mod to the game folder without touching original files. What chat gives you (items, weapons) stays in your save like anything you get while playing.
Yes. Every creature chat summons carries a nameplate with the viewer's name and profile picture, and effects show an on-screen notice with who sent them.
Load a save: in the main menu the mod has nothing to do. If it's the first time after installing, wait for the game to finish starting. If the bar shows «Repair», another mod loader took over the game.
They are not deleted, but they stop loading while you use OverInteractive: both loaders together don't work in this game.
From the ⋯ menu in the bar below, «Uninstall mod». The OverInteractive mod goes away; the BepInEx loader stays in the folder and, with no mods, the game works as always.
