"Device Options" of TV not showing
As title says, i created a sandbox world 2 weeks ago. I was using the TV for VHS sometimes.
Since yesterday, the "Device Options" of the TV doesn't show, and i can see an "Error 1" at the bottom right of my screen.

I have re-loaded the game, checked the cache, retarted Steam and my computer.

I have mods but the TV was working fine a few days ago with all mode activated. The "Device options" of radios, or even boomboxes from the TrueMusic mod work. Only the TV options are failing.

The TV is in (close) range of a functionning generator.

If someone has an insight of what could be the problem / a solution, feel free to share.
Thanks

Test them all against vanilla.

Even saying "mods, but..." check them out with the methods for finding broken mods.

1) start a new vanilla game and look at tv options. if that works, then it is likely a mod issue.

Yep. Welcome to the steam workshop, where you don't get a choice about when your mods update and potentially cause issues. "It was fine a few days ago" isn't valid with the steam workshop, because any single one of the mods you picked might update and start to cause problems in what had otherwise been a stable situation.

Case in point (and no hate to Filcher for this), In my current save I had narrowed down all the errors and played for a week with not a single new error popup. Then tonight I loaded in and every time I right clicked a door or window it threw an error. SoulFilcher's Building Time had updated and introduced a new error.

Long story short, If you're using the steam workshop for a game, Never assume your mod loadout is faultless. (Really, never assume anything is faultless- Examine every option as if it could be the problem.)

I thank both of you, you were right about the mods.

I checked them all and, if someone has had the same problem recently, the mod provoking the error was called "True Music - This War Of Mine OST's".
When this mod is disabled, everything works.

Thanks again.

Hey,
I resolved this problem by disabling a mod i had called " True Music - This War Of Mine OST's ".
If you don't have this mod, another one is causing this problem. Try creating a new world, disable some of them until you find the one causing the error.
Hopes it helps

Can you verify file integrity on Steam Deck? Could be just missing files. Other than that, could be leftover mods.

'Snow is water - full version' mod can cause this problem. So if you have that use the rain barrels only version instead.

This worked for me on the deck as well. I had several mods but this one, I just had to fully disable. Still learning the game and haven't survived to snow anyways but turning it off worked perfectly for anyone else troubleshooting.
