Warning: More Schedule1 Mods Are Infected with Malware – Delete These Mods ASAP!

by

Summary

  • More Schedule 1 mods have been discovered to contain dangerous malware.
  • Malware was found in mods like “Just Enough Drugs” and “BetterCasino,” leading to warnings and the need for vigilance.
  • The discovery of malware in mods may impact the long-term health of the Schedule 1 modding community.

It has been discovered that even more modifications under Schedule 1 contain potentially harmful malware. As a result, gamers are being advised to exercise caution when downloading user-generated content. This ongoing issue could potentially have long-lasting negative effects on the Schedule 1 modding community, which we hope won’t occur.

The community responsible for modding the game under Schedule 1 has been instrumental in enhancing the Early Access title significantly, as developer TVGS continues to refine the core game. Unfortunately, some malware has surfaced in popular mods within this community, potentially exposing players to harmful files. Incidents like these are relatively rare in PC gaming, making their occurrence all the more unexpected. Following the discovery of the initial malware-infected mods, it appears that there may be additional ones that players need to be vigilant about.

Additional public service announcements (PSAs) on the Schedule 1 subreddit have verified that two additional mods for the game are infected with harmful malware and should be steered clear of entirely. One such mod is known as “Just Enough Drugs,” which was previously accessible on Nexus Mods but has since been taken down. As per the PSA, version 1.3.0 of this same Schedule 1 mod on Thunderstore is currently safe, although future updates may pose a risk due to its previous removal from Nexus Mods.

Here Are Some More Schedule 1 Mods to Avoid

1. The second modification to steer clear of is “BetterCasino,” which can be found on Thunderstore. It was suggested in its PSA that this mod performs an unidentified function that executes and runs commands. To ensure safety, players are advised to exercise caution when downloading and installing mods listed under Schedule 1 from unknown sources.

2. If any player has already downloaded these mods, they should take the following steps:
a. Remove all potentially harmful files using a reliable antivirus program.
b. Delete all associated files with these mods.
c. To be on the safe side, change your passwords.

It’s unfortunate that with an increasing number of popular mods infected with malware, there’s a risk it could harm the longevity of the Schedule 1 modding community. Consequently, players might grow more hesitant about downloading Schedule 1 mods in the future. Some may even decide to stop installing them and instead patiently wait for the next update from TVGS.
