The Rope Ladder (UE4SS Loader) — Scarlet Skips Mod

The Rope Ladder is not a gameplay mod — its own page says so. It is the UE4SS scripting framework that the script mods on the Scarlet Skips hub need to actually run, and it is the piece to install first. UE4SS enables access to modding capabilities such as Lua scripting inside the game, and everything the three William112792 gameplay mods do — Luck Be A Lady, This Rope Is Lit, and Scarlet's Rope Hits The Gym — happens through this framework. Each of those pages lists it as a requirement, as does the Scarlet Skin Menu. With 3.8k downloads as of September 24, 2026, it is the most-downloaded file on the hub.

How to install

The mod page gives the instruction directly:

1. Download and extract the archive.
2. Copy the "Scarlet Skips" folder from the archive on top of your game's install folder (in Steam: right-click Scarlet Skips → Manage → Browse local files) and merge when prompted.
3. Verify the result: you should see the ue4ss folder and a dwmapi file under the Win64 folder, sitting next to the game .exe.
4. Drop any UE4SS mods you want to use into ue4ss/Mods.

The author also points to a fuller install guide for UE4SS and compatible mods on their Patreon, while noting the mods themselves will always be posted for free on Nexus Mods.

Notes

• The loader changes nothing on its own. The mod page lists no requirements for it — it is the baseline framework everything else builds on.
• Pak-based skin and outfit mods do not use UE4SS at all; those install into ScarletSkips/Content/Paks instead, as covered on the all Scarlet Skips mods hub page.
• To uninstall, close the game and remove the ue4ss folder and the dwmapi file from the Win64 folder.

FAQ

Do I need the UE4SS Loader for skin and outfit mods?

No. The skin and outfit mods on the hub are native pak files that go into the game's ScarletSkips/Content/Paks folder and do not use UE4SS. Only the script mods — and the Scarlet Skin Menu — need this loader.

Does the loader change gameplay by itself?

No. The mod page describes it as the baseline framework with no requirements of its own. It only enables other mods — Lua scripting and more — to run.

Where do other mods go after installing it?

Into the ue4ss/Mods folder that appears next to the game .exe (under ScarletSkips/Binaries/Win64) once the loader is in place.

How do I uninstall the UE4SS Loader?

Close the game and delete the ue4ss folder and the dwmapi file from the Win64 folder. Any script mods inside ue4ss/Mods are removed along with it.
