Show Unsupported Mods, where?

[WillieSea]

I am on unstable b42, have -debug option, no mods show but the help says to enable 'Show unsupported mods' to see older mods. I press F11 to see the debug menu and for the life of me I cannot find that option. It is certainly not under the 'mods' selection.

Does anyone know where this option is?

I have some personal mods but have no idea what I am supposed to change to get it to work without running it and seeing what errors I get. (mostly new recipes)

Any help?...

The mods Help page says to activate Debug mode, and mentions the "show unsupported Mods" to be a option within said debug menu. but there isn't, you got pranked.

I had this exact same issue and another mod developer threw me a yuge bone by letting me know that you have to make a couple of new folders where you place your B42 unstable mods.

In the mod folder, place a new folder named 42. Copy and paste the entire media folder inside it, along with your mod.info and poster.png (you can also add a 32x32 icon here).

Also in the mod folder, make a new folder named "common" (without the ""). I don't know why, but this empty folder was what was not letting me even enable my work(s)-in-progress for B42.

Hope this helps.

@Rainmaker - I did what you said above, put my mod in the mod folder:
C:\Users\UserName\Zomboid\mods\42\WillieSea

Created the empty common folder:
C:\Users\UserName\Zomboid\mods\common

Nothing shows up on the mods list.

And I still cannot find the "Show unsupported mods" option.
Where is that?

How am I supposed to update my mods to v42 if I can't even get them to show up?

Is mod support completely unavailable at this time on the unstable build?

Out of exasperation for the lack of mod/dev support to modders, I downloaded a b42 mod off the workshop and looked at it.

My mod name is "Levelers", and you put a 'common' and a '42' folder in your mod folder.
C:\Users\UserName\Zomboid\mods\Levelers\42
C:\Users\UserName\Zomboid\mods\Levelers\common

Your mod files go into the 42 folder.

The mod then showed up. There is no "show unsupported mods" option to select.

Very misleading text on the help page for the Mods option.

oh it's there, just very much unclear on how to get there. took my 2 last braincells some time to figure it out, here we go. you open the game with "-debug" activated, once it gets to the main menu, you press f11, there's gonna be a "options" button on the top left. you click this options button, select "mods" on the list that opens up, then check the "Mod.Render.Loader" box. After this you can restart the game without the "-debug" option if you want to

SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\ has all the mods that you subscribed to and downloaded, you just gotta find the id of the mod you're looking for, add the "42" and "common" folders, throw all the mod files into "42" and you'll be able to load and play whatever mod you want.

PS:. At least that's what worked out for me
