Timer Mod Files and Installation Notes
Certain progression adjustments, such as the story timer mod demonstrated in a community video guide, function by editing configuration settings in the game.ini file. The video guide recommends installing this timer modification after completing the prologue quest Smoke and Ashes, once the player leaves the village into the main world. [source]
In the video demonstration, the downloaded game.ini file is placed in the directory %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dawnwalker\Saved\Config\Windows. Because configuration presets and specific file properties can differ across releases, players should refer directly to the particular mod author’s full installation instructions for complete setup steps. [source]
Better Story Timer by Kates was originally released just after launch and had reached version 1.4 as of September 4th. [source]
Installing Standard Content & Pak Mods
Modifications use various packaging methods; for example, the Dawnwalker Transmog Manager builds cooked .pak, .ucas, and .utoc files for equipment customization without requiring UE4SS, while the Mod Setting Menu requires UE4SS as a shared settings interface. [source]
Tip: For the Hide Cinematic Skip Prompt mod, installation involves copying three files into the
Dawnwalker\Content\Paks\~mods\directory. [source]
Community installation guides also show manually placing UE4SS mods, such as Dynamic HUD, into the UE4SS mods folder after downloading from Nexus Mods. [source]
