Trying to mod; keeps starting vanilla

[VexingWeeb - Discord]

Trying to download some mods and play with them. I'm using the thunderstore mod manager, and when I start the game modded, it simply starts vanilla. any tips on how to fix that?

Just to make sure you are launching it through the mod manager with the MODDED play button? And have you tested it in-game

I have started it through hte mod manager, with the modded play button,yes. But it's vanilla. I'm testing to see if maybe downgrading the game will fix it

no idea, but using r2modman instead of knockoff mod software would probably be a start.

this stuff happens even with r2modman as well. having this same problem. installed mods using r2modman, press start modded and it keeps launching vanilla.

Did you launch r2 in admin mode>?

That shouldnt happen. It should launch a command prompt related to bepinex if clicking the modded button.

Didn't think about starting it modded. But i decided to play 'vanilla' with my friends, but when we started a game, it does seem like the mods are in the game, just the game doesn't SAY "modded" on the bottom left. There was still (as far as I could tell) all the extra stuff from the mods. like the personal slots for walkie talkies and flashlights. The game was way more difficult and more loot was spawning (because brutal company)

But running as Admin still didnt' give the "mod" on the bottom left when starting the game

Only some mods change the bottem left version number (EA MoreCompany).

oooh,could be that's what it is. since , it did seem like the game was running. Also, could've sworn I was hearing things mimicing my friends voice (ie the skin walker) but it only happened 2 times, and I looked around and didn't say anything, and when asking my friends they weren't 100% sure. I'm running

always hear active walkies
bepin
Flashlight toggle
FOV Adjust
Item quick switch
Reserved flashlight slot
reserved walkie talkie slot
Reserved item core
Ship loot
Skin walkers


I was using brutal company but disabled that

The voices are from skin walker mod.

Right,which is why I think it worked since serval of the other mods are working, though I haven't actually seen any skin walkers. just, I /think/ I heard them but couldn't verify with my friends if it was the mod working or them talking

Skinwalkers aren't a new mob, but rather the bracker mimicing your voices.

ooooh ♥♥♥♥ okay I see. ngl idk what a bracker is, I try not to look at any videos or any media about the game so everything spooks me lmao ,but I haven't seen anything new (except like, a weird ass jack in the box or music player or something like that walking by but only got a glimpse) so, just every time the bracker must've been out of sight then or behind a wall and I just fortunate enough to not see it? Lmao alright cool. I'm going to assume that one of the mods is probably making the "mod" on the bottom left not appear since everything seeeeems to be working as intended

Bracker is an ambush monster so yes they try to keep out of sight. All I can say is do a massive turn every now and again to see behind your back. Otherwise it'll be too late.

Skinwalkers can be any monster in game. That includes dogs, giants, spiders, what not.
