CreamInstaller

Welcome to CreamInstaller.blog, your educational resource for understanding how open-source configuration tools automate game management systems.
CreamInstaller is a lightweight, community-driven project created to demonstrate how automatic DLC configuration, detection, and management work across gaming platforms like Steam, Epic Games, and Ubisoft Connect.

This website and tool are built purely for informational and educational purposes.
We do not host or distribute paid DLCs, game files, or copyrighted content.
Instead, we focus on exploring how open-source installers like CreamInstaller operate, how they interact with community APIs, and how they can be studied safely for research and testing.

What is CreamInstaller?

CreamInstaller is an open-source auto DLC unlocker installer and configuration generator, designed for software learning and testing purposes.
It teaches developers, testers, and students how automated configuration systems work, especially when interacting with community-based APIs like CreamAPI, SmokeAPI, or ScreamAPI.

Originally developed by open-source contributors, CreamInstaller helps users understand:

How system scanning detects installed games
How configuration files (INI) are generated
How unlockers communicate with client libraries

The tool operates within legal and ethical boundaries when used strictly for testing, research, and educational applications.

How CreamInstaller Works?

When you open CreamInstaller, it immediately begins scanning your computer to identify all installed games.
The tool reads installation directories and registry data from platforms like:

It then builds a list of games and checks for existing DLC unlockers or configuration files.
For Steam games, CreamInstaller fetches data from SteamCMD — including DLC names, app IDs, depots, and version numbers — ensuring that the information displayed is 100% accurate.

This process helps users easily identify which games have available DLCs and how they can manage them.

How to Use CreamInstaller?

Using CreamInstaller is straightforward and doesn’t require technical expertise. Follow these simple steps:

1. Download and Extract

Download CreamInstaller from a trusted source, such as GitHub or the official blog.
Extract the .zip or .rar file using WinRAR or 7-Zip. The program is portable — no setup required.

2. Launch the Program

Run CreamInstaller.exe. If it doesn’t open, make sure you have .NET 7 Runtime installed.
For full access, run the program as Administrator.

3. Automatic Game Detection

Once launched, CreamInstaller will automatically detect games installed through Steam, Epic, and Ubisoft.
Detected games will be listed on the main screen.

4. Manage and Configure

Select a game to view its available DLCs.
You can then apply, remove, or manage DLC unlockers through simple checkboxes and buttons.

Running the Tool

When CreamInstaller is running, it works as an automatic DLC manager.
Here’s what it does behind the scenes:

Scans your PC for all game directories
Locates necessary DLL files for unlockers
Downloads and installs SteamCMD if needed
Fetches DLC metadata (app IDs, depots, build IDs)
Creates or updates the CreamAPI configuration file

Everything happens automatically, so there’s no need to manually edit configuration or system files.

Tip: You can right-click any game to open its folder, view SteamDB data, or repair launchers like Paradox directly from within the program.

Selecting Games and Managing DLCs

CreamInstaller provides a clean interface that lists all your detected games.
When you select a game, the tool automatically:

Displays installed DLCs
Shows available but locked DLCs
Syncs with SteamCMD to verify version data
Generates a detailed list of DLCs you can unlock

From here, you can:

Enable or disable individual DLCs
Edit or view configuration files
Revert to original DLLs if something goes wrong

This flexibility allows gamers to manage DLC content safely and efficiently without manual file handling.

Applying Unlockers ( CreamAPI)

This is where CreamInstaller truly shines.
The tool automatically integrates with unlocker systems like CreamAPI, SmokeAPI, ScreamAPI, or Uplay Unlockers to handle DLC configuration.

Step-by-Step Unlocker Process:

Locate Game Folder
The tool identifies the game directory (for example, steamapps\common\GameName).
Replace DLLs
It replaces the original steam_api.dll or steam_api64.dll with a community unlocker version.
Generate Config File
Creates a new cream_api.ini file containing all detected DLCs.
Backup Originals
Automatically saves the original DLLs in case you want to revert later.
Apply Changes
The new configuration takes effect the next time you launch the game.

If any issues occur, simply click Uninstall / Revert Changes, and CreamInstaller will restore everything to its default state.

Smart Automation & Backup System

Every time you use CreamInstaller, it creates a backup before making any modifications.
This ensures that you can always revert your setup safely without damaging your game files.

Additionally, it supports:

Paradox Launcher Repair
SteamDB and Epic Store Link Access
Cache Refresh for Steam AppInfo
Easy access to game directories and configurations

These built-in utilities make CreamInstaller an all-in-one DLC management toolkit.

System Requirements

Component	Requirement
Operating System	Windows 10 (64-bit) or newer
Processor	Intel Core i3 / AMD Ryzen 3 or higher
Memory	4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended
