[SOLVED] My mods stopped working today.

[SILKO]

Suddenly when I try to load a save the game says I have missing mods. Tho mods are there but the modsettings.lsx resets to default, so I made it read only. But the mods still won't work. Any idea?

For mod issues ask the mod authors

I hope you're using a mod manager.

If you aren't, you should be. Let's start there.

[SILKO]

I've been installing mods manually becuase I'm also a mod author so it's easier to test them like that, and so far everything worked fine.

I have like 20 mods. It would take forever, and so far even if a mod didn't work it never caused the other mods to not work as well.

Ok friend. Well, if it worked for you up until now, and it's not working, you now have a problem. I personally admit it's one beyond my ability to help you. You might get better help at a modding forum or Nexus.

Cool if you have made mods, I always praise mod authors, they provide things of value to other players for free. I guess the only ones I will condemn are those who unleash destructive mods that cause problems and never update them or stick around to maintain them.

I'm looking at you, "BG3 Mod Fixer".

I had a pretty bad crash last week and all my mods were disabled after.

It worked fine again after I re-enabled them with BG3MM (you can save profiles).

So I'd recommend re-installing the same mods with the manager this time while keeping an eye on a correct load order.

Not sure what you're trying to create but even as an author I'd think disabling and re-enabling with different profiles would be an advantage.

Mods are currently not supported by Larian Studios for BG3. They do not take modding into account when updating BG3.

You will need to consult the Mod authors for Mods that are compatible for Patch #5 - Hotfix #17.

Be aware, that the coming Patch #6 will likely cause Mods to become problematic (again).

Huh, a mod author who can't troubleshoot mods...

...curious.

Probably also is using sub-system Mods and those are what are causing the failures. :/

Solved it with reinstalling. Moved to Mod Manager afterall because it's easier :/

How did you solve? I modded my game way more than I should have, but had it right where I wanted. Could truly make the characters I wanted. As of today, all my mods have stopped working. The notice says "mods disabled." I honestly don't know what to do to fix it, or if it can be fixed.

[seeker1]

I wish I could help you. I'm playing with dozens of mods, and playing the game has not caused any of them to be disabled against my will. That has simply never happened.

It told me a long time ago my achievements would be disabled. I could overcome that; but I don't care; so I've never done anything about it.

For me the solution was to use mod manager because this way my modsettings.lsx didn't get messed up. But maybe reinstalling the mods and verifiying files could help you too.

I have Nexus Mod Manager, Vortex mod Manager, and BG3 Mod Manager. All have auto-updates. I'm not tech savvy beyond using the managers because I have used them for other games, like Dragon's Dogma for instance. My mods are listed in each manager as a back-up in case one get buggy. I don't know how to reinstall the mods beyond disabling them and re-enabling them, unless you mean I should delete the files, and re-extract them from their zips and put the new extract-paks into the manager. Do I need to do something similar with he extensions, like Script Extender and mod Fixer? And I don't know how to 'verify' the files. I'm being serious. I really don't know this stuff. A friend of mine uses just nexus Mod Manager, and he's also having the same issue.

All that while backing up mods and make them last is a matter of copy & paste.
What did the mods authors tell you about that?
