Regarding This Mod

⭐Please consider starring our repo if you enjoy the mod!⭐

This Mod only needs to be installed on the Host, which needs to be on a PC. Once the mod is installed, anyone on any device may join the lobby to enjoy the mod.

• Anyone with a PC may also install the mod to join the Host to unlock extra features (See Below), but this is not required.
• Please note though, that if the Host of the modded lobby leaves, the modded lobby will end and the game will go back to being vanilla. This is the case unless another modded player becomes Host of the lobby.

Although this mod is supported on unmodded (Vanilla) regions, it's highly recommended to use Modded Regions, as Innersloth has historically been known to push server-side updates which cause all host-only mods to break. In situations like these, modded regions are unaffected.

You can install modded regions on both PC and Mobile here, though it is not possible on consoles.

Limitations of Host-Only

This mod can be played on all devices, however this comes with some downsides. Playing on an unmodded client makes it so that you will see your role's base role as your actual role, instead of your modded role.
^{Ex: Sheriff shows up as Impostor-sided on the role reveal screen, but you are actually a crewmate.}

Not only this, but it is also impossible to show certain things to unmodded clients, such as custom ability buttons, so you will instead see the vanilla buttons. This also applies to things such as custom cosmetics which the mod adds.
^{Ex: As Witch, you will see the vanilla Kill button, instead of Witches' Hex button.
You will also see any player wearing a custom cosmetic as wearing the default for that group (ex: No hat).}

It is highly recommended to use a modded client, as it is the only way to get the full experience of the mod. The mod is available on both PC (with a legitimate copy of the game), and Android (using Starlight)

Benefits Of Being A Modded Client.

• Custom start screen displaying your Role's name and what to do.
• Custom victory screen reflecting the Role's unique win condition.
• Custom GUIs.
• Custom Ability Buttons for your role.
• Usable Hotkeys.
• Custom Cosmetics with the LotusCosmetics addon!
• Better compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install the mod?

Please view our installation video below, or click here for a text guide.

Can I download this mod on Mobile?

If you are on Android, then yes! You can download it by installing Starlight, then clicking on this link.

Unfortunately, we do not have a version for iOS.

What do the different things in the releases mean? / How do I update the mod?

Here's a Quick Explanation -

• HatUpdate.zip means that new Custom Hats were added in that update, these go in your AmongUs/BepInEx/plugins folder and will replace the lotushats.bundle and lotushats.catalog files.

• Lotus.dll & VentFrameworkContinued.dll mean there was an update to the mod itself, these go into your AmongUs/BepInEx/plugins folder and will replace the previous ones.

  • Note, VentFrameworkContinued is required, but a new release may not include it, this means that the previous version can still be used.
  • If either of these are not included in the release, that means there was a mod-breaking update, and you need to install the Lotus[Version]-[Platform].zip update. Please make sure to install the correct platform that you are on.

• lang_[Language].yaml or TranslationUpdate.zip means that there was an update to the mod's translations, these files will go into AmongUs/Languages/Lotus

• Lotus-[Version]-Epic+MicrosoftStore.zip & Lotus-[Version]-Steam.zip are included in every release, these are the files to install the mod if you haven't already.

  • Occasionally a release may not have a .dll file, which means you'll need to download one of these & reinstall the mod.

Updating when there's no .dll file.

• Back up your AmongUs/BepInEx/config folder, as that's where your settings are stored. Also back up your LOTUS_DATA folder if you've made any changes to your Templates, or have given people titles.
• Once those are backed up, delete the BepInEx and dotnet folders, and reinstall the mod by installing the Latest Release. Then copy the contents of the .zip file into your Among Us folder. You can then restore the backed up stuff.
• If there was an Among Us Update & Your modded files are separated from your Vanilla files, you'll want to copy your Vanilla files into your Modded folder to update your game.

How can I make my lobby public / Why aren't people joining my lobby?

Vanilla (Non-Modded) players are unable to see your lobby in the in-game matchmaker as of June 2023.

• This was due to a change Innersloth did to their anti-cheat, but Host-Only mods got caught in the crossfire.

What can I do then?

We have a bot in our Discord, Lilypad, which will automatically post your lobby in a channel once it is made public. You can also view Active Public Lobbies in our lobby viewer.

Nothing else can be done, as Innersloth needs to make the change.

Why do I get randomly kicked?

As of April 4th, 2025: Innersloth, the developers of Among Us, have made changes to their server-side anti-cheat which may cause players to be kicked.

• Please try to report any instances of this happening in our Discord Server
• If you're constantly being kicked, then try using Modded Regions, as these regions are not subjected to the same changes.

Why do I keep getting black-screened?

The cause of this is usually ping. We do a lot to try to prevent blackscreens but in the end they may sometimes happen.

• You may fix blackscreens by telling the host of the lobby to use the /fix command on you.
  • Usage: (If you blackscreen on game start): /fix (player_id) start | (If you blackscreen after meeting): /fix (player_id)
  • (Player ID's can be obtained with the /ids command.)
