Virus Warning

Virus warnings may happen with .rar, .zip AND .7z files. Windows Defender flags a file with an !ml ending Trojan, which means machine learned. It’s Defender’s automated detection feature (probably the AI-driven adaptive protection). Every case we know of has been a false positive. We haven’t run into an actual virus in any compressed files.

There’s nothing the team can do about this as it is a Windows Defender issue.

If this happens to you please scan the file or the download link on https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ to make sure it’s a false positive. (You might have to allow it out of quarantine first if Defender removed the file right away.) Also to note, every file we upload here gets repackaged by the Unvaulted uploading team, therefore if there really was a virus we would have already caught it.

REPORTS ABOUT VIRUS WARNINGS WILL BE DISCARDED IMMEDIATELY. (If you are not comfortable trusting the team, even after scanning the file with Virustotal and reading all the reasons as to why this is happening above, unfortunately we can’t help you further.)

Where can I share/request mods?

If you would like to contribute to the hoard, or ask for a specific mod we do not have yet, you can head over to our sharing/requesting Telegram to do so. Make sure you read the rules and our guide on how to post before you do so, otherwise your post might get removed if it doesn’t follow our templates.

A mod is not updated/Dawntrail ready

All of our content comes from our Telegram, and the people who share them in it. We do not otherwise have access to these mods, so if there was an update either:

Join the Telegram and request for the update ;
Wait until someone shares it and we update it here.

There is no other way for us to get our hands on updated content.

Public mods?

While you might come across public mods on here from time to time, the website was not made for archiving them. Everything is uploaded manually, and it takes a lot of time and effort. Including public mods into the equation would just be an astronomical undertaking.

There’s also the issue of limited amount of storage. For these reasons we unfortunately can’t afford to keep public mods up on the website, so they will get removed eventually. If you want to help out the uploading team, please report any mods you come across on this website that have gone free, using the “Report Issues” button under the preview picture of the mod page.

We still archive public mods in our public Telegram, so make sure to join if you would like to access the mod packs.
