Many users search for "Kenshi character presets full" because they can't find the mod folder. Here is the fix.

Method A: Steam Workshop (Easiest)

Method B: Manual Installation (For NexusMods users)

Method C: Importing Community Presets Some presets are shared as .chr files.


This report catalogs and analyzes the concept, availability, and usage of full character presets for Kenshi (the open-world squad-based RPG by Lo-Fi Games). It covers preset types, sources, installation methods, compatibility issues, modding considerations, and recommendations for players seeking full presets (complete character appearance + stats, skills, equipment, and saved positions). Assumptions: “full presets” means reusable character setups that include appearance, attributes/skills, equipment, and (where possible) spawn/save data.


Even with the best mods, things break. Here is how to fix the most common Kenshi character presets full errors.

Problem: "My presets disappeared after import."

Problem: "Crashes when I scroll to page 3 of presets."

Problem: "The Skeleton preset has human hair."

Problem: "Can't see Shek horns."


Yes, but with a catch.

If you have a character you love in an existing save (not at the creation screen), you cannot "export" them to the menu easily.

The Workaround:

Honestly? It’s easier to just recreate them by eye. But if you are a modder, this is how you share your "Mega-Beep" creation with the world.

Most preset mods work automatically. Once subscribed to on Steam Workshop (or installed via the FCS), the new faces will appear in the "Character Customization" screen at the start of a new game.
