Devin Bauer Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone, I've followed the suggestion of adding the mod files to the appropriate folder (zipped and unzipped forms) hitting the "reload mods" button in the Mod Manager, however none of them show up. Solution: Add desired mod zip file to ...\VintageStory\Mods and NOT the directory the game launcher links to ...\VintageStoryData\Mods The correct directory contains the base game .dll files.

Streetwind Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 If they're not showing up, are you sure that you put them into the right folder? Which folder specifically is it? Are you perhaps redirecting your data path? (If you don't know what this means the answer is automatically "no".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Bauer Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I have viewed the folder both through Windows Explorer and directly from the game launcher, neither a folder or zipped folder will show up in the launcher when the "Reload Mods" button is pressed, and yes the mods are in the folder that the launcher directly points to, C:\Users\(localusernamehere)\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryRob Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Do you have discord running? Sometimes Discord messes with mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Bauer Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 No, just Vintage Story Mods are deposited in the folder the game links to as stated above. "Reload Mods" does nothing. The only things I see are the base game modules, "Essentials", "Creative Mode", and "Survival Mode". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwind Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Please put a mod in the folder like you have tried before. Don't unzip it. Show us a screenshot of the folder, and then a screenshot of the ingame mod manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwind Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Very strange. I've done it exactly like that in the past, and it has always worked. I don't have a solution for you, but a potential workaround: try searchng for where VSEssentials.dll is on your disk. That should be the folder where the three core mods are located, and since the game is clearly finding and loading them, I would be very surprised if it failed to find other mods you put in the same location.

Rhyagelle Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) I have to put mods in the install directory where those files are located (essentials etc), not the one that opens when you click "Open Mods Folder", because that way never works for me. It's really strange. Have you tried that way yet? I've seen people say in game they needed to put them in BOTH folders for it to work, so that may help as well.

Devin Bauer Posted May 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Thanks guys, putting the mod into the ...\VintageStory\Mods directory with the base game .dll files and not the ...\VintageStoryData\Mods directory seems to have done the trick.
