If I enable mods must I start over?

[Lackluster]

So I ran TL2 with mod's from the client launcher and I can only see "New Game." However, if I restart w/o mod's from the launcher I can resume the game with my current champs.

Is this due to a specific mod? or just adding mods in general via this workshop?

Any ideas?

If you launch the game with the mod launcher, you'll have to start a new game. However, you can always go back and launch the game without the mod launcher. That way you can continue on your old characters. :)

I just found out you can swap your save files over to the modsave folder. ~~I haven't tested it yet~~ Will make a dummy and test later today.

Oh, cool! If only the mods will be fixed, I can get down to buisness! :D

1. Go to Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\save\
2. You should see a folder with random numbers like 73948273492837\, copy it
3. Go back, go to Torchlight 2\modsave\ and paste the copied folder there. If modsave\ doesn't exist, just create it.
4. Regular TL2 will save/load to/from save\ and modded TL2 will use modsave\
5. Profit :)

edit: looks like I'm a little late. Anyway, this works, I already tested.

if you have both folders already can you copy the contents of the originl to the new modsave one?

You can.

Still getting the issue though that it thinks steam isnt running and shows no mods now

I had that problem as well, like 3 hours ago, so I just figured I'll try again later. Fixed itself. :) Just try again after a while, maybe reboot your PC in the meantime.

warning !
character played with mods = cannot play with everyone else without mods !

backup you saves before playing any of them in the post-patch game !
once you loaded this save you won't be able to swap between save/modsave anymore, the game updates and flags your character "this player has used mods" and it won't load anymore in a non mod game, and since multiplayer modded games with the actual idiotic system is going nowhere (you cannot connect to 99,999999% of the players because eevryone uses different mods) i strongly suggest you play your "real" characters in the non-mod game and start new ones or copies of your old in the mod environnement

Had syenergy mod with full back ups with this mod conversion from syenergy lost all my special armor, pets, pet armor, my paladin levl 100 lost her full arthur arm, excaliber sword, and last stand shield. Not happy at all. lost all my armors with extra sockets as well. My ninja will not play at all.
