Problem:
Game completely freezes/hangs when trying to load into any world
PC becomes unresponsive, requires force restart
Error repeating 100+ times in console: ERROR: mods isn't a valid workshop item ID
#Project Zomboid - Game Freezing Issue
proper pulsar
What I've Tried:
Initially thought it was the "Lifestyle" mod causing issues
Removed Lifestyle mod - sometimes worked, sometimes didn't
Tested on a world that NEVER had Lifestyle mod installed
Tested with Lifestyle completely unsubscribed from Steam Workshop
Result: Game still freezes even without Lifestyle
Key Discovery:
The problem is NOT a specific mod
Happens inconsistently (sometimes loads, sometimes freezes)
The error loop suggests corrupted cache or broken mod reference
My Mod List:
200+ mods installed (can provide full list if needed)
Mix of vehicle mods, map mods, clothing mods, and gameplay mods
All mods are Build 42 compatible versions
System:
Game Version: Build 42.13.1
Platform: Steam (Windows)
Question: Has anyone experienced this infinite error loop with "mods isn't a valid workshop item ID"? Should I try deleting Workshop/Lua cache folders or is there a known fix?
this is the console.txt from the time that it freezes my PC
And THIS is my MOD list, if someone could say if some of them are incompatible or broken, please say, i just wanna play with peace

Are you able to reproduce the issue without any mods? We do not accept any issues caused by mods.

yo
@velvet rover i was thinking that the issues was the mods
but check this
i verify the integrity of the game at steam
it says 1 corrupted archive
it reinstalled
and everything is good at this part
but i see the problem its not from mods
look this, i already removed all mods and this error stills:
LOG : General f:0, t:1768666553471> ERROR: mods isn't a valid workshop item ID
this is my problem
for some reason, theres no mods active and it stills de unique error on my logs and hundreds of times
@velvet rover do you know what it can be?
thats how my default.txt is right now btw
