The game does load perfectly, but when I want to heal my pokemon, Nurse Joy says that something isn’t right with my mod install and the game crashes afterwards. I’ve followed all the steps. Can someone help? Thanks!

Did you make sure to move your [ips] file, if playing on Switch Hardware?

Are you playing on Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl?

main prism
#

It looks to me that you have downloaded the SP version of the mod.

#

You need the BD version for BD

hi there im having this problem but i did download bd, unzipped with 7zip, redownloaded 3 times, deleted and moved the files back in 3 times, made sure the ips was in the right spot, followed all the guidelines, and nurse joy still says this idk what to do :(

#

im on official hardware and ive checked over everything i possibly can

slate musk

#

yes i have the correct version (1.3.0) and the mod says BD in the file name and im playing bd

#

i also have no other mods installed

main prism
#

Can you send us screenshots of your exefs and Luminescent folders to verify?

frigid sundial
#

sure one sec

main prism
#

It looks fine to me. Please just do me the favour of pressing + or - on Brilliant Diamond on your Switch home screen and send a screenshot of that screen.

frigid sundial
#

oh right sure

main prism
#

Thank you. I am very unsure why this bug would occur for you under these circumstances.

frigid sundial
#

Going bonkers bc I've been doing this for 2 days haha

#

This happens to me frequently idk wsp with that

#

Other mods work as well such as mythics Arceus and ctgp deluxe

main prism
#

What language are you playing in?

frigid sundial
#

English

main prism
#

Could you send some screenshots of the error message you are getting?

frigid sundial
#

Sure thing

#

Everything works up til this point as well

main prism
#

Is that in the Sandgem Town Pokemon Center?

frigid sundial
#

Yes

main prism
#

Do you have any cheats or anything?

frigid sundial
#

Nope

#

Only lumi is installed

main prism
#

I'm stumped, honestly. I can't see a good reason for this to not be working.

frigid sundial
#

Ik it's kinda silly tbh I knew I went thru pretty much everything

#

The only thing I can think of is to reinstall bd

main prism
#

All I can really recommend at this point is reinstalling Brilliant Diamond and creating a new save file yeah.

frigid sundial
#

i shall return with an update

frigid sundial
#

Crine in the club

frigid sundial
#

Ill just pause for now and see what I can do tmrw

frigid sundial
#

I'm gonna try installing the sp version and see if anything changes

frigid sundial
#

unfortunately its the exact same problem with pearl this is so strange

solid magnet
#

Did you adapt the installation? Different folder names, different download, etc

frigid sundial
#

i downloaded the sp version and added the other folder name from the readme as well as moved the new ips

solid magnet
#

What version of atmosphere do you have?

frigid sundial
#

1.9.5

#

i also uninstalled the bd mod before installing sp

#

so no merges or anything like that

solid magnet
#

Mh, I have no idea either, everything seems correct

#

You are launching from emunand, right?

frigid sundial
#

yep

solid magnet
#

I dont know if this is really relevant, but there is a little troubleshooting step in the installagion page:

If you have followed all of these instructions and the game still doesn't boot, please use a homebrew file reader such as NX-Shell and navigate to atmosphere/contents/0100000011D90000 and check that romfs and exefs (and the folders within) are displaying as folders as intended.
If they are instead displaying as files please make your own exefs and romfs in the appropriate spot and place the contents inside yourself. Check again in NX-Shell that everything is displaying as folders now.
You may also need to redownload the mod entirely in case of a corruption.

frigid sundial
#

yeah ive done that sadly :(

#

that last part was my last resort and ive done it a couple times

solid magnet
#

Do you have any software or application on your Switch that could be interfering with it?

frigid sundial
#

i cant think of anything that would

solid magnet
#

Maybe your SD card or the specific file has some permission set that doesnt allow it to be read?

frigid sundial
#

i should definitely check that actually

solid magnet
# frigid sundial

It says the permissions here, but I can't see for the .ips file which is the main problem

#

It should say 666 if it can be read and written

#

That's my last idea, that even if everything is correct, your Switch can't read the file

frigid sundial
#

:L

solid magnet
#

Yeah seems correct

#

You are still using Pearl, right?

frigid sundial
#

yep

solid magnet
#

I assume it has to be something with your custom firmware then

frigid sundial
#

thats my only guess at this point too

#

idk what it would be bc i have no problems otherwise

solid magnet
#

Have you ever tried to mod a different game that also uses .ips patches?

frigid sundial
#

im not sure, its unlikely

#

unless mythics arceus or ctgp dx include them

main prism
#

This is a long shot but try Fix Archive Bit in Hekate.

frigid sundial
#

i did in fact try that before coming here

main prism
#

Ah okay

frigid sundial
#

yeah ive got quite the rubix cube here

main prism
#

I have no idea what the issue could be lol

solid magnet
#

Im reading some old forum posts about it, and it might be related to the config file

#

Not sure why that would have changed because mods should be enabled by defualt, but check the config folder and see if anything is disabled

frigid sundial
#

which config folder, in the modpack?

solid magnet
#

Atmosphere

frigid sundial
#

theres only one folder, sys-clk, then inside is config.ini.template

#

not even a config.ini

#

so i wonder if theres supposed to be something i have no idea lol

solid magnet
#

There should be a config_templates and config folder

#

I was just reading a post from 2022 about people not being able to load mods in Atmosphere, and actually BDSP specifically
But the information might be too old

frigid sundial
#

okay i think i actually figured it out

#

so there are 2 exefs_patches folders for some reason, if the ips is in the first one i get that error. if its only in the second one the game restarts to the intro after pressing a on the title screen. i put it in both and now i can talk to nurse joy

solid magnet
#

Two folders? Where you using one that is not in atmosphere/exefs_patches?

#

Your previous screenshoot didnt show the containing folder

frigid sundial
#

theres another atmosphere folder inside the first one where some mod files are

solid magnet
#

Oh, weird

frigid sundial
#

so theres atmosphere/exef_patches and then theres atmosphere/atmosphere/exef_patches and the ips has to be in both for some reason

solid magnet
#

Where are the mod files? atmosphere/contents or atmosphere/atmosphere contents

frigid sundial
#

atmosphere/contents

solid magnet
#

So somewhere in your config the atmosphere path was changed and it's reading from a different folder
Very weird but good to know in case it ever happens again to someone else

Glad you solved it!
