Install Thorium Mod for Terraria - how it works
To install the modification, you need two downloads: the tModLoader and Thorium.
- First install the tModLoader. Open this Terraria Forum website.
- Now scroll down to the "Download" section and click the link for your operating system - the mod is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The download either starts directly or you will be redirected to a page like MediaFire where you have to click "Download" or "Download" again. Avoid clicking advertisements if you are redirected.
- Now download the Thorium Mod, which can also be found here in the Terraria forum. Scroll down and click the link "Click here for a manual download".
- After downloading, navigate to the folder in which the two archive files are contained and unzip both folders with a program such as WinRAR.
- First open the folder of the tModLoader and mark all files in it. Right click the selected files and select "Copy".
- Then navigate to the Terraria folder. The path is usually: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Terraria
- Rename the "Terraria" file so that an unmodded version remains as a backup. For example, name it "BUTerraria". Paste the copied files into the folder.
- A new file called "Terraria" should be created. Double-click on it and run it.
- As soon as Terraria has loaded with tModLoader, you will see the new category "Mods" in the menu. Open this up.
- Then click on "Open Mods Folder". Open the Thorium folder that you extracted earlier, open the subfolder in it and copy the only file in it, "ThoriumMod.tmod", into the opened Mods folder.
- Switch back to the game and click on "Reload Mods".
- Open the "Mods" menu item again and click on "Click to enable" for the "ThoriumMod" entry. The mod is then imported.
