Idiots.

you need to calm your tits because im trying to get tmod loader to work for my brother, who has the game from my steam library
not everyone whos having this problem has pirated the game

So what i get for MoneyForFriends is that you have Terraria and Tmod on steam and you want for both your brother and you to be able to play at the same time together.
I assume your using the option where you give access to the game via the family account option (I forget what it's called since i don't use it), so your brother can play your games from your account on his account without having to buy it.

My experience with the one time i tried to play terraria and have my brother play it through this setup at the same time to play together was that while one of the accounts is playing the game, the other can't. In other words my brother would start up terraria through the family play thing and it would show on my account that the game was running. Since it was running, i didn't have the play button and could not play terraria till he stopped playing or i kicked him off so i could play.

So your brother will likely have to purchase terraria on his own account for you to play together or you'll have to find some other workaround. Unless they've changed how this works. (I last tried this 2 years ago so it's possible though unlikely that it doesn't work this way anymore).

For him to use tmodloader on his account, he has to own terraria on his account. He can't use it via Terraria from your account. This is because Tmod will not read your account from the family share. It will only read Terraria on his account. Since he doesn't own it on his account, Tmod can't find Terraria, which it needs to work, and so you get your error.
Again to run tmod on his account, he must own terraria on his account. It will not work or access terraria through your account to run Tmod.

(sorry for the text wall. I'm not good at condensing my explanations for these sorts of things.)

Helpful tip , when you own a game on steam and post in the forums you will have a little symbol next to your name like myself and the person above.

You not having this symbol means you don't own the game on steam , you need to own Terraria on steam to download Tmod loader from steam , if you have a GOG version look for Tmod loader for GOG instead.

So if I’m using family sharing I can’t mod?

i got the same problem

[Radiowavehero]

Tmod Loader unfortunately doesn't work if your Terraria is family shared only the main account that owns the game would be able to use Tmod Loader , it's been an ongoing issue since 2020.

RIght now there are no work arounds , Tmod requires you to "own" the game , just having it on your account from a share won't work.

Terraria does frequently go on sale for 50% off , it's very much worth the 5 bucks to play with mods , they add a ton of new content and quality of life.

OP doesn't own the game on Steam and thus they can't use Modloader as it's a DLC. Is that not the obvious answer?

So, all this cracked things idc im wanting to know if you can get Tmod if youre friend shared their libary with them. And if i cant is there a way i can? i just find terraria on pc pointless if you dont have mods.

[NightStar]

To get Tmod and have it work on steam, you must own Terraria on your own steam account, NOT through family share from another persons account.

Tmod is a free download so you can get it on your account easily, but, i reiterate, if you don't own Terraria on YOUR account, Tmod will not work in Steam.

Tmod looks for Terraria on your computer so even if you don't go through steam to get Tmod, you would still need Terraria installed on your computer which is something family share doesn't actually do for you. Family share doesn't install the full game on your computer which is a necessity to get Tmod to work.

If you can install the full Terraria game on your computer through means other than steam, you may still be able to get Tmod to work as long as you know how to direct Tmod to the location where Terraria is installed so it can open Terraria as this is a necessary step for Tmod during it's start up.

Judging by the fact that you don't have the icon next to your name in the post, you don't own Terraria. You have to own the game on Steam with your own account to play Tmodloader.

If you play the game through family share it won't work. You have to own a copy on your account to get tmod through steam.
