SyncCrate
Among Us guide · Updated
Same Among Us mods for every crewmate.
Role mods only work when the whole lobby runs the same version. SyncCrate copies the host's BepInEx mods and settings to everyone, and after the first time only what changed.

// 01 Why
Why modded Among Us lobbies fall apart
Role mods like Town of Us Reactivated or The Other Roles have to be installed on every player's PC, in the same version, and each mod version only works with specific Among Us versions. When Among Us updates, mods break until they catch up, and a lobby with players on different versions doesn't work.
Getting ten people onto the same mod build for game night usually means a zip in Discord and ten people extracting it into the right folder.
With SyncCrate one PC hosts and everyone else matches it. Files are compared by content, only the differences are copied, and players see the list before anything changes.
// 02 What syncs
What SyncCrate syncs for Among Us
| Folder | Path in the game folder | Files |
|---|---|---|
| Plugins (BepInEx) | BepInEx/plugins/The mod's .dll files and what comes with them. | All files |
| Mod Configs | BepInEx/config/Mod settings. A separate folder, so the host can share the lobby's settings or leave everyone's own alone. | .cfg .json |

Built in for Among Us
- Script warnings.
.dllfiles run code on your PC, so they're flagged for you to review before they sync. - BepInEx check. Warns when BepInEx isn't installed on a PC, because the synced mods can't load without it.
- Disabling that sticks. Turning a mod off renames it to
.disabledin place, because the game also loads mods from subfolders. - Game-running warning. SyncCrate warns you before syncing while Among Us is still open.
- Undo and history. Undo the last sync in one click, and put back any single file a sync replaced or deleted.
// 03 How it works
Sync Among Us in three steps
Install and add the game
Install SyncCrate on every PC and add Among Us in the Game Browser. Its folder is found automatically.
One PC hosts
The PC with the setup everyone should have clicks Start Hosting. The others pick it under Scan for Hosts on the same network, or paste its join code from anywhere.
Compare and sync
Check the list of new, changed and conflicting files, then Sync Now. Only the files that differ are copied, PC to PC.
TipEvery player needs the same Among Us version for the mod to work. If Steam updated the game before the mod caught up, wait for the mod's update and sync again.
// 04 Common problems
When Among Us mods don't match
Lobby members on different mod versions
Role mods need everyone on the same version. One player on last month's build and the game desyncs or they can't join.
Everyone syncs the host's mod files before game night, so the lobby matches exactly.
Among Us updated and the mod broke
Each mod version supports specific Among Us versions. After a game update, mods stop working until their authors release a fix.
When the fixed version is out, the host installs it once and everyone else syncs, getting only the changed files.
Host-only mods vs. mods for everyone
Some mods only need to be on the host's PC, others on every PC. Mixing them up is a common cause of broken lobbies.
Syncing the host's folder avoids the question: everyone simply has what the host has.
BepInEx not installed
Most Among Us mods come with BepInEx included, but a PC that only got the plugin files starts the game unmodded.
The mod health check warns when BepInEx isn't installed and links to its download.
// 05 Among Us
Good to know
- PC only. Phones and consoles can't join a modded lobby. Everyone playing needs a PC with the mod.
- Steam, Epic or itch.io: SyncCrate finds Steam installs in every library on every drive. For other versions, point it at the game folder once.
- Mods run code.
.dllfiles are flagged before they sync, and nothing changes until you approve the list. Only sync with people you trust.
// FAQ
Among Us questions
Do all players need the mod installed in Among Us?
For role mods like Town of Us Reactivated and The Other Roles, yes, in the same version. A few mods are host-only. Syncing from the host covers both.
How do I install Town of Us for my friends?
Each friend sets up BepInEx once (most role mods include it in their download). After that, install or update the mod on the host, and friends sync to get exactly the same plugin files and settings.
Where are Among Us mods installed?
With BepInEx, the plugins go in BepInEx/plugins inside the Among Us game folder, and settings in BepInEx/config.
Does it work over the internet?
Yes. The host shares a join code, and friends paste it from anywhere. On the same network they can pick the host under Scan for Hosts.
