I already 112%ed the game on console and am too lazy to do on computer

sleek tiger
#

you can like

#

probably save edit/speedrun with debug

#

or grab an already existing 112 save

woeful laurel
#

I’ve tried to find something like that Chii but best I’ve found was debug mixed with bench warp and just doing everything super fast by turning nail damage up to like 4,000

wheat orchid
#

Just download a save

#

And put it here

fleet flower
#

if anyone can help with this, it'd be appreciated
my dad moved all the steam games onto another drive so they they run/start up/etc faster, however the modinstaller wont let me search for that folder to change its install path.
is there any way to fix this, and if so how?
(this is the popup when we try opening the modinstaller(

wheat orchid
#

Look in the pins for how to reset the installer

fleet flower
#

ohh alright, thank you

novel bronze
#

hello i was interested in the mods for the knight and looked at the pins but im not sure which installer i need to download as theres more than one pinned i think

wheat orchid
#

Which one is for your operating system

west bane
#

If you’re windows

#

?i

proud quailBOT
novel bronze
#

i have found the correct pin sorry i was just not looking at the right thing

#

is there a sheet or document somewhere to explains what all these mods are/do

wheat orchid
#

?mods

novel bronze
#

ah yes thank you

wheat orchid
#

Ooooo a new pin

hollow hare
#

Interesting indeed.

opaque sapphire
#

Also save quits = infinite loads so i cant easily switch files

wheat orchid
#

Well

#

You obviously have a problem if it infinitely loads

opaque sapphire
#

Yes, this is why I posted this here. For modding staff to see

wheat orchid
#

Something is messing with the charm notch amounts

#

What mods?

real jacinth
#

well what mods do you have

wheat orchid
#

I’m assuming it’s a lot by how long they are typing

opaque sapphire
#

Benchwarp, both custom knights, debug mod, player data tracker, QoL, and Vasi. I have others but they are disabled

wheat orchid
#

Well

#

No

opaque sapphire
#

yeah i speedrun rando my guy

#

so yeah i have a few

wheat orchid
#

Both custom knights?

real jacinth
#

both custom knights is probably the issue

#

you should only have 1

opaque sapphire
#

which one is current. ive had both since the -9 one came out

real jacinth
#

depends

opaque sapphire
real jacinth
#

the one on the installer is current

#

but if you're using DoH, then you need that one

opaque sapphire
#

theyre both on the installer

wheat orchid
#

Not anymore

real jacinth
#

the duplicate was removed

wheat orchid
#

Jngo put a weird one on the installer

opaque sapphire
wheat orchid
#

????

opaque sapphire
#

i still have both

wheat orchid
#

Well

real jacinth
#

uninstall both

wheat orchid
#

^

real jacinth
#

then the one that's actually there will be there

wheat orchid
#

Close and open it if they don’t disappear

opaque sapphire
#

please just let mick handle this

wheat orchid
#

Bruh. I’m good at helping too

opaque sapphire
#

he's got this. youre not

#

That did not solve the issue

real jacinth
#

is there just 1 there now tho?

opaque sapphire
#

Also custom knight is no longer working

#

yeah i installed the one that was left

real jacinth
#

kk. and you have seanprcore and modcommon yeah?

opaque sapphire
#

Which are those? I know I have seanprcore, ive seen it in the files before

wheat orchid
#

They are on the installer

opaque sapphire
#

they are not

wheat orchid
#

Some mods such as custom knight require them

#

They are

#

How long ago did you get the installer?

real jacinth
#

when did you last update the installer em

#

yeah that

opaque sapphire
#

probably a really long time ago idk.

wheat orchid
#

Delete

real jacinth
#

?i

wheat orchid
#

Download again

#

Bot down?

opaque sapphire
#

but i should have both of those. they were working fine literally for the last YEAR

proud quailBOT
real jacinth
#

damn dyno

wheat orchid
#

Bit late

real jacinth
#

they should be showing up here tho if they're installed

wheat orchid
#

Modcommon didn’t show up for me in the installer until about a month ago since it used to be automatically installed

real jacinth
#

so it's likely modcommon. does modcommon show up on the title screen?

wheat orchid
#

one eternity later

wheat orchid
#

Are they going to come back?

opaque sapphire
#

no :)

wheat orchid
#

Oh ok

honest knoll
#

Hey its my first time tryin to mod HK, im trying to get poorly translated working and i see its broken in the installer, if i do it manually it should work right?

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

#

It’s just broken in the installer

#

?mods

wheat orchid
#

Here is the link to the drive if you need it

honest knoll
#

oka thanks, somewhere else someone said it itself was broken and just wanted to make sure, much appreciated larxa7

marble saddle
#

Hi again.. i have an issue about the mod installer

#

When i install the mods, The game is still vanilla

#

There is no Grey load in the start

slow halo
#

Did you have the game open while installing?

marble saddle
#

No

slow halo
#

I found that I had to close it and then start it again for the mods to work

marble saddle
#

I tried to uninstall and install again

#

Verify The game files on steam

#

Install The mods again

#

Nothing Works..

slow halo
#

Hmm...what other problems did I initially face...

real jacinth
#

show your installer normalguy

marble saddle
#

show your installer normalguy
@real jacinth okay.. i' ll show

slow halo
#

Oh, are you sure you've installed the proper files? I've got Zote's head as the icon for mine. I'd initially installed the wrong file, and it hadn't worked

marble saddle
#

Oh, are you sure you've installed the proper files? I've got Zote's head as the icon for mine. I'd initially installed the wrong file, and it hadn't worked
@slow halo yeah.. my installer is updated, and i have installed The mods right

slow halo
#

Oh, okay

wheat orchid
#

Click enable all installed mods

slow halo
#

Well, best follow Mickely's advice then, they're more of an expert

marble saddle
#

Click enable all installed mods
@wheat orchid i made that and still nothing

real jacinth
#

dude

#

screenshot the installer

#

and post it

marble saddle
#

I'm opening it

wheat orchid
#

Why is assembly c-sharp in the same folder?

marble saddle
#

That is not The game folder..

wheat orchid
#

?

marble saddle
#

I had this mod assembly c-sharp on the game but The original one is already on it

wheat orchid
#

?

marble saddle
wheat orchid
#

I blame more saves

#

Probably not but it might be

real jacinth
#

you have 2 modcommons

#

why

marble saddle
#

I "installed" it after the issue

spare venture
#

some are for tryingg to install mods, some for just trying to open the exe
@novel bronze

I'm probably late but i found out how to fix this. Try using the ModInstaller_2.app by Mickely from the pinned section

wheat orchid
#

It’s probably daughter of hollownest

#

It has modcommon006

real jacinth
#

delete the one that says modcommon006

marble saddle
#

It’s probably daughter of hollow nest
@wheat orchid but i dont even installed it

wheat orchid
#

The custom knight?

#

I’m talking about the custom knight hornet skin

marble saddle
#

Daughter of hallownest

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

marble saddle
#

Okay, I uninstalled the modcommon 006

#

Should I start the game to test it?

wheat orchid
#

Yeah

marble saddle
wheat orchid
#

Do your saves not load?

marble saddle
real jacinth
#

dude. use screenshot functions

#

not your phone

#

i can't see this shit

wheat orchid
#

Are the saves not loading?

marble saddle
real jacinth
#

the mods menu showing nothing there is normal

wheat orchid
#

But nothing is at the top left

#

And they have mods in the mods folder

real jacinth
#

which is probably because of moresaves

#

the API is loading tho

#

because the mods menu exists

marble saddle
#

Uninstall more saves?

real jacinth
#

yes

#

and spend 5 minutes on google to learn to screenshot

wheat orchid
#

lol

#

Screenshot > pnoh

marble saddle
#

Lol I'm opening discord on pc

novel bronze
#

Hello, is there some reliable quicksave mod for this game ?

wheat orchid
#

Doesn’t it already save when you exit the game?

novel bronze
#

i meant a mod that would let you quicksave for example before a boss location, so i dont have to spend several minutes going from bench to boss area again 😄

wheat orchid
#

Oh

#

Benchwarp

#

It lets you warp to benches and place them

#

Just don’t turn it off after sitting at a bench you place

marble saddle
#

Benchwarp
@wheat orchid that is a good mod, helped a lot with soul master

wheat orchid
#

Discord loaded yet?

novel bronze
#

Thank you both for valuable answers 🙂

wheat orchid
#

np

novel bronze
#

how do i use the mod anyway if i might ask ?

#

i installed it successfully

wheat orchid
#

Ok

#

Have you started the game?

novel bronze
#

yep

wheat orchid
#

Ok

#

At the top left does it say bench warp?

novel bronze
#

yes

wheat orchid
#

Ok

#

Enter a save

novel bronze
#

oh there's some grid when i pressed escape while near a bench

wheat orchid
#

What does it say?

novel bronze
#

there's a list of buttons, including settings, some locations, warp, destroy, set, etc

wheat orchid
#

Ok

#

You can access that menu by pausing

#

Go to where you want to see the bench

novel bronze
#

oh and i press deploy and it just spawns there. i think i get it

#

it has a cooldown too i see, nice

wheat orchid
#

You can turn that off

#

You also need to turn on interactable to sit on it

#

Click settings to turn that on

novel bronze
#

oh sweet

#

this will make the gameplay much less frustrating, thanks 🙂

wheat orchid
#

Np

#

I also suggest qol

#

Makes a lot of cutscenes and other long stuff faster

novel bronze
#

okay, ill install it aswell

wheat orchid
#

It also allows you to do pop multiple times

real jacinth
#

if this is your first playthru, i wouldn't suggest qol

wheat orchid
#

Oh

real jacinth
#

you may skip cutscenes by accident

novel bronze
#

it is

wheat orchid
#

Didn’t think of that

#

Don’t do qol

novel bronze
#

oke

wheat orchid
#

It’s more of for people who don’t want to see the same stuff again

novel bronze
#

i have to say the simplicity of the mod installer is terrific

marble saddle
#

Still loading lol

wheat orchid
#

Really?

marble saddle
#

Nope, loaded now

wheat orchid
#

Yay

novel bronze
#

@novel bronze

I'm probably late but i found out how to fix this. Try using the ModInstaller_2.app by Mickely from the pinned section
well, he managed to get it opened now

marble saddle
#

So, I've uninstalled more saves, mod common 006, what I do now?

wheat orchid
#

Open gam

#

And screenshot

novel bronze
#

but everytime that he clicks on "Installed?", which i presume is for installing the mods, the mod manager crashes

#

so yeah

#

no idea why

marble saddle
#

Screenshot what?> And screenshot
@wheat orchid

wheat orchid
#

Screenshot main menu

marble saddle
#

OK

wheat orchid
#

Ok

#

It’s probably api.globalsettings

Hey guys, I'm another stupid person who can't install the Debug mod correctly. I have the api (it says in the corner) and but the mod in the folder but in game the mods tab is empty

#

How do I install it correctly

wheat orchid
#

does it say debug in the corner?

dawn crag
#

nope

wheat orchid
#

hmmmm

#

does modinstaller say you have it enabled?

dawn crag
wheat orchid
#

most mods don't show up there

#

they will all show up in the top left except for some helper mods

dawn crag
#

ok, but still is my api even enabled as you said? Or does it enable automatically

wheat orchid
#

it is enabled if it's in the top left

dawn crag
#

Hmm

wheat orchid
#

dawn crag
#

ty

novel bronze
#

Is there a place to get multiplayer matches

rain elbow
#

Is there anyway to use custom knight with light bringer. Whenever i use a skin after either entering a different room or sitting on a bench the skin resets to the light bringer one. Have i installed the skin wrong or something? Or is it straight up not compatible.

wheat orchid
#

Edit the code yourself bc I’m too lazy to make it have support again

vernal rain
#

in short: no

wheat orchid
#

@novel bronze look at fireborn’s vid on multiplayer and join the server in the description

#

it's just better

rigid grotto
#

I'm having an issue with the mod installer rn...

#

Steam decided to update Hollow Knight?

#

So now mods arent working, and the mod installer is acting up as well

west bane
#

reset the installer (how-to in the pinned messages)

#

depending on how old your installer is too just grab the new one

#

?i

proud quailBOT

@west bane thanks!

proud gale
#

what version of hollow knight do you need for mods

real jacinth
#

Computer

#

Steam or GoG

proud gale
#

theres a number in the bottom left corner when you start the game I need to know what number you have

storm zenith
#

anyone know how to mod on mac?

prisma vapor
old relic
#

For what reason could you possibly need to now a specific version number grubthink

#

Just update. Ez pz.

real jacinth
#

b/c pirate

proud gale
#

my version 1.4.2.4

wheat orchid
#

lol

#

Outdated

#

At least you can still use 1 mod... not telling what it is tho

real jacinth
remote aspen
#

there's a mod idea i have but i'm curious if someone's already done it
i heard that originally oro, mato, and sheo would have been bosses (outside of godhome) whose nail arts would have been learned upon defeat

#

does such a mod exist? if not, is there an accessible way to go about doing that?

fair ibex
#

but why would you want/need to do that

#

and no it doesn't exist afaik

remote aspen
#

eh, idk why exactly, i just thought it'd be interesting
pretty sure that's why those benches are there at least

#

i'd also want sly to only yield nailmaster's glory after dueling him, as well

fair ibex
#

i don't think it would be too hard to mod in

remote aspen
#

main things to watch out for, as far as i can tell:
close off the loading zones mid-boss
keep mr. mushroom from spawning during mato's battle (if that's not already a thing)
shade respawn points
stagger values may need modifying

#

the main thing i'm unaware of is how to, like... start at all, if that makes sense?

fair ibex
#

check the api

#

and hell mod

#

for reference

#

idk i've never made a mod but that's what people generally say is a good starting point

remote aspen
#

okay thank you

supple coral
#

Could anyone know why Modinstaller throws an exception error for some Readme files? I can view some Readmes but mods like Indie Crossover or Hollow Twitch throw fatal exceptions.

#

Hey guys I'm running enemy randomizer and the mod in the options is at the bottom of the screen I'm not sure how to toggle it

#

nvm got it working just had to restart

proud gale
#

gonna try to mod hollow knight 3 hours later

west bane
#

@supple coral try re-grabbing the installer, there was an update semi-recently that may be the cause of your problems (uncertain but eh, worth a shot)

#

?i

proud quailBOT
supple coral
#

I'll give that a try @west bane and see how that goes. 🙂

west bane
#

could try resetting the installer too (how-to in the pins) but i doubt that's needed

supple coral
#

Re-grabbing Modinstaller worked! Thank you @west bane!

trail osprey
#

I got randomizer but when I start I am in the wall

#

Aaah idk if anyone is on this channel

west bane
#

redownload the launcher, acquire modcommon

#

you should also have the dependencies installed
QoL, Vasi, Benchwarp, Seanprcore

split tangle
#

I can download Custom Knight for a downpatched version of the game right? As long as I put the .zip contents in there?

Hey is there a common ip for hollownight multiplayer that everyone uses or no

real jacinth
#

no

coral gull
#

The mods aren't working for me.
A few months ago, it worked properly, but I had to uninstall the game due to some problems I had with corrupted saves. I fixed this problem after downloading the game again, but the mods don't show up anymore. I tried deleting the ModInstaller and downloading it again, but it didn't solve the problem. Any idea how I can get it to work again?

real jacinth
#

what's not working exactly

coral gull
#

When I enable mods in the modinstaller, they don't show up in game

real jacinth
#

show your installer

#

and your title screen

coral gull
wheat orchid
#

Enable all installed mods

real jacinth
#

click the button at the bottom

#

^^

coral gull
#

Ok I feel dumb

#

Thanks!

north birch
#

I cant get custom knight working. whenever I put the folder with sprites in nothing happens

real jacinth
#

well do you have the mod installed

wheat orchid
#

Did you check the pause menu?

north birch
#

yep both of those

real jacinth
#

then show us some stuff

wheat orchid
#

Do you have modcommon?

north birch
#

yep

wheat orchid
#

Is it in the top left corner of the main menu or pause menu?

north birch
#

yep

wheat orchid
#

Ok

real jacinth
#

send screenshots

north birch
#

ok

#

of what

real jacinth
#

title screen, installer, where you put the skins

north birch
#

ok

wheat orchid
#

Get rid of more saves

#

And godly nightmares/royal dreamer

north birch
#

does that mess with it

wheat orchid
#

More saves = bad

north birch
#

ok

wheat orchid
#

Just copy your saves to a different place and start new ones

thanks

#

its working now

past swallow
#

hey so i wanna do a randomizer but modinstaller says theres an error what do i do

real jacinth
#

what does the error say?

#

what's your OS

#

where did you get the game

#

what installer are you using

past swallow
#

wdym

real jacinth
#

what other mods have you installed

past swallow
#

k first im gonna say the error message

#

unhandled exception has occurred in your application

#

the requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open

#

what does that mean exactly

#

also what does OS mean?

eternal tiger
#

is there a mod that lets me unlock everything from the beginning

past swallow
#

debug ig

real jacinth
#

operating system

past swallow
#

windows

real jacinth
#

7? 10? 98?

past swallow
#

10

eternal tiger
#

10

#

and ty

past swallow
#

i got the game from steam, i bought it

real jacinth
#

show your installer

#

and make sure the game is closed when you're doing stuff with it

past swallow
#

i have all the support mods and also hpbar and debug thats it

#

why does this happen

#

do i need to manual install or smth?

real jacinth
#

no

#

make sure everything is closed

#

close the installer

#

open it again and try it

past swallow
#

k

#

its gonna need some time to open

real jacinth
#

the installer?

#

it should take like 5 seconds

past swallow
#

yes its taking slightly longer than it should

real jacinth
#

when did you download it

past swallow
#

ok it just opened

#

im downloading the randomizer

#

aaaaaaaaand it worked?

#

gotta open HK to be sure

#

ooh new stuff

#

i assume it worked then

real jacinth
#

I can't tell from here

past swallow
real jacinth
#

that's the option select screen, yes

past swallow
#

ok then

real jacinth
#

you don't need weaver core

#

and you need vasi

past swallow
#

i installed it just in case and i do have vasi

real jacinth
#

then get rid of weavercore

past swallow
#

why

real jacinth
#

it's only needed for inferno king grimm

past swallow
#

i have tried ikg before so i installed it just in case i try it again do i HAVE to turn it off?

real jacinth
#

if you don't, you're chancing potential conflicts

#

when you're not even using the mod it's needed for

past swallow
#

k im gonna turn it off

#

i did it now ig im done here

eternal tiger
#

is there a way i can go to the path of pain from a completely new save file

#

from a mod

real jacinth
#

bench warp probably

past swallow
#

also final question: does enemy randomizer fuck up room randomizer?

real jacinth
#

no

past swallow
#

k thx

#

wait i dont think its working quite right

#

the only differences im seeing are that elderbug is a cool dude and u can get back to kings pass without the claw

#

should this be happening

real jacinth
#

yes

past swallow
#

when does the actual randomizer start

real jacinth
#

it already has

#

all items are randomized

past swallow
#

there was a room randomizer option too so how exactly does that work

real jacinth
#

you select it

past swallow
#

oh cool

#

thanks

#

that should be the final thing

trail osprey
#

Someone had this problem but I forgot the solution

past swallow
#

the game crashed twice are you kidding me

#

i will be here for years

trail osprey
#

It says loading on the save files

real jacinth
#

delete global settings for the api

#

where your saves are

trail osprey
#

How do I do that?

past swallow
#

do i stop the crashes by not picking cursed option?

cobalt ravine
#

so uh

#

how does one make a multiplayer server with the mod

past swallow
#

its complicated

cobalt ravine
#

that

#

doesnt help me very much

past swallow
#

do i tell u everything i know about multiplayer

real jacinth
#

you install the server mod

#

and play the game

#

that's it

#

and you can't play cursed on easy

past swallow
#

thats the crash reason?

real jacinth
#

you've given me like zero additional info around what you're doing or even when it's crashing

#

so...... dunno

#

but probably

past swallow
#

i just click the cursed option and the area-room connection randomizer or smth thats it

real jacinth
#

you can't play cursed on easy difficulty

#

the logic breaks

#

you have to play on harder skip settings

past swallow
#

ok then i will just not play on cursed

real jacinth
#

if you're doing room randomizer, you don't want to play cursed anyways

trail osprey
#

What does cursed even do?

real jacinth
#

all non-esssential things are 1 geo

past swallow
#

cool it crashed again

trail osprey
#

Name of the file for global settings?

real jacinth
#

you don't have benchwarp on do you

past swallow
#

oh wait no its just lagging like hell

trail osprey
#

Talking to me or slavender?

real jacinth
#

moddingapi.globalsettings.json

#

or something

#

that says API, and global settings in it

trail osprey
#

Ok gotta look around

real jacinth
#

it's where your saves are at

#

nice there were 3 corpse creepers and a primal aspid i hate this now (i got the enemy randomizer)

#

for now im just gonna go away

cobalt ravine
#

okay so here's a better question

#

how do you know the ip address of your server in multiplayer

real jacinth
#

it's the ip of whoever you're connecting to

#

that's running the server

#

which is why you want to use something like hamachi

#

so you aren't giving out your actual ip

trail osprey
#

Do I type in file paths or what I dont know what to do I'm not experienced at all with modding

real jacinth
#

you go to that location on your computer

trail osprey
#

How?

real jacinth
#

with file explorer?

#

i'm not going to teach you basic pc navigation

#

google it

trail osprey
#

Ok

I need help with using mods on mac

can anyone help?

real jacinth
#

dunno, you haven't stated a problem yet

shell radish
#

most of the modding things are for PC, and I don't know any mods that could work on macs

real jacinth
#

they all do

shell radish
#

what I mean is I want to know if there's a custom knight mod that works with mac

real jacinth
#

customknight is one of the all mods

#

so yes

#

it works on mac

first time using the modinstaller, when I try to install some mods using the modinstaller I'm met with this error

real jacinth

close it and reopen it

#

ive only downloaded modinstaller today

#

i'll try reinstalling indiecrossover right now

#

still getting the same error

real jacinth
#

?mods

real jacinth
#

download and install manually from drive

mossy dune
#

its working now, thanks for the help!

shell radish
#

I think i'm being a bit annoying continuously asking for help, but I need it. I downloaded the modinstaller 2, but I can't download anything

wheat orchid
#

Click install?

shell radish
#

I click the "installed?" button, but It doesn't install

wheat orchid

shell radish

#

I'm playing Enemy Randomizer, and it seems the room before Soul Sanctum has a single Hive Soldier. After killing it, the ceiling cage will not go away, and the action music still plays. Is this a known issue?

real jacinth
#

#

they're on it

shell radish
#

oooooooooooh

real jacinth
#

shell radish
#

I click all the "installed?" box's for all the extra things it says to do

shell radish
#

do they just download to hollow knight?

real jacinth
#

yes

shell radish
#

oh

real jacinth
#

literally the job of the "installer"

#

is to install shit

#

you have to use noclip slaurent

vivid yew
#

is that from debug mod?

shell radish
#

thanks

#

real jacinth
#

shell radish
#

#

so what do I do?

wheat orchid
#

Screenshot

#

Are you on Mac

shell radish
#

ye

wheat orchid
#

Oh

#

Then do the exact same path except with contents instead of hollow_knight_data

shell radish
#

I found the mods folder

#

but the custom knight file isn't there

wheat orchid
#

Make it

#

Make sure to name it CustomKnight

shell radish
#

so I just make a file and name it that?

wheat orchid
#

*folder

shell radish
#

ok

#

then I just put the sprite folder in the folder?

wheat orchid
#

Yes

shell radish
#

alright

#

should I use the zip file?

#

or should I open it

wheat orchid
#

No

#

You extract it

shell radish
#

ok

wheat orchid
#

Go inside until you get to the folder with the .png files inside

That’s the folder you want

shell radish

didn't work

Poorly translated yeah

That's the one that makes the text funny right. I was gonna give it ago

pls

#

anyone?

young yarrow

I'm no expert on mods my man, but you should be able to find mod installer somewhere in your downloads. If not you could manually add the mods via your steam files

raven badger
#

wat

west bane
#

move the modinstaller to your desktop

raven badger
#

i did

west bane
#

run it

raven badger
#

i did

west bane
#

try modinstaller 2

raven badger
#

which one is modinstaller 2?

west bane
#

the mickely pin

raven badger
#

ok

#

now when i run it, it says "“ModInstaller 2.app” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store."

west bane
#

something to do with your antivirus then

raven badger
#

wait

#

ITS WORKING

#

after fricking 2 month of waiting now the modinstaller works

#

thank you @west bane

#

just a question does mods corrupts files?

young yarrow
#

Nah, not really. Just backup your files if you're concerned (make a copy)

raven badger
#

how

young yarrow
#

Go to steam, hollow knight, properties, browse local files. And take all the files relating to the save file you want

raven badger
#

ok

young yarrow
#

And copy them and stick them in a folder somewhere

isnt suppose to say what mods is installed?

I mean you probably don't have anything installed yet

#

If u just downloaded the modinstaller

raven badger
#

i pressed installed? button

#

and clicked enabled

young yarrow
#

Uhh, if the disable option is available it's on. And vice versa. And I think mods and saves have different file locations

Which is why you aren't seeing them

If you're looking at the game or the files I can't tell

mine just say
the mod name and enabled? Installed?

Yes

It’s the only one on the installer, so it’s the only correct one

Is the installer malware or will it give me a virus??

these are the only choices

it is either malware or will give a virus

Please tell me

It does raise a good question, is the modinstaller open source in any capacity?

real jacinth
#

yes

wheat orchid
#

Yes

real jacinth
#

all mods are

wheat orchid
#

Except mine

#

Keep forgetting

solar tree
#

Where do I put the file

fallow pilot
#

That's excellent, I couldn't find obvious links to repos (but also haven't downloaded mods yet, if the source is included with them)

solar tree
#

So I can actually install it

fallow pilot
#

Is there something I missed?

real jacinth
#

it's all on github

#

you put the file wherever

Just put it on your desktop
