I've been trying get a few mods I dled from Nexus to work. I tried following the instructions with unzipping and simply moving the folder over. However, when I log in, the mod I just installed had a yellow !. I also checked the mod section to see if it was there. It wasn't.I asked for help on another website, and I was told I had bricked it. I really dont understand. I tried moving files around. Tried deleting files. Now I'm so beyond confused.Please help me. Some pictures could help me figure out how to install the right way. Thank you for helping me. < > Showing 1-13 of 13 comments Khan Boyzitbig of Mercia View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 12:01pm Is the location of your mod's about.xml folder like this:(steamlibrarypath)\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\(modname)\aboutOr this:(steamlibrarypath)\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\(modname)\(modname)\aboutIf the latter then you have made the easiest mistake with manual modding and nested the mod inside another folder, just move the mod and its contents one level up in the path.Otherwise make sure it is a standard folder and not any form of compressed folder. #1 Angel Phoenix77 View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 12:09pm

It's the second one example. However, I'm confused by this. Can you please make this easier for me to understand please. I am used to modding FO4 and Skyrim/SE. This is a whole new way for me to understand on how to mod. #2 Khan Boyzitbig of Mercia View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 12:15pm Okay.Go to:(steamlibrarypath)\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\(modname)And then select the folder in there and press CTRL+X and then got to:(steamlibrarypath)\steamapps\common\RimWorld\ModsAnd paste (CTRL+V).That should move the mod on folder up and begin working. #3 Helios View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 12:41pm Its not that different from f4 there you would have mods/(modname)/Data without using a modmanager here its mods/(modname)/about ect so you create a folder in mods for every mod and importent is in that folder must be the about folder of the mod maybe also deffs folder. #4 Angel Phoenix77 View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 12:49pm

I followed this, I was able to get a mod to be seen in the mod manager mod. It still has a yellow !. Does this mean that the works?

To me it is a bit confusing. I know once In get a hold of modding this game, Ill rejoice :) #5 Herja View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 1:11pm

Hover your mouse over the "yellow !" I assume it's saying that the mod you downloaded dosn't work for your version of the game. Most unupdated mods will not run with 1.3 Last edited by Herja; 11 Aug, 2021 @ 1:11pm #6 Angel Phoenix77 View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 1:15pm

That's the thing it was made for the latest update. #7 BlackSmokeDMax View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 1:32pm

Do you have a link to the mod in question? #8 Angel Phoenix77 View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 2:13pm

It's one of the mods I've been trying to work with. From Nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/rimworld/mods/371And from the Lovers https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/7257-rimjobworld/ #9 ᖇIᑎ View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 2:47pm The version you downloaded from Nexus of the music mod isn't updated to 1.3 but the Steam version of that same mod was updated: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2470126069 #10 Khan Boyzitbig of Mercia View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 3:39pm Music mods should be fine no matter the version, if its for 1.0 or later there is little reason for it not to work. #11 ᖇIᑎ View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 3:41pm I don't do music mods, so I honestly don't know. But if the Nexus version is causing problems, it might be easier to just subscribe to the Steam version. Just saying. #12 Angel Phoenix77 View Profile View Posts 11 Aug, 2021 @ 4:06pm Hey, all I was able to find out how to use the correct version of the mod from the lab of lovers. I had three different versions. Tried each one, until I found the right version. I deleted the other 2 :) #13 < > Showing 1-13 of 13 comments Per page: 1530 50 RimWorld > General Discussions > Topic Details Date Posted: 11 Aug, 2021 @ 10:52amPosts: 13 Discussions Rules and Guidelines
