My mod_overrides folder is not working

[Tamer]

Hello,

I used to use mods that I installed in mod_overrides folder, then I reinstalled the game and re-created the mod_overrides folder because it did not exist. But none of the mods I added to that folder are working. I re-installed the game again, but it did not help.

Anyone knows how I can fix this issue?

Thanks.

Well, some basic questions :

- Are you sure you named the folder "mod_overrides" exactly ?
- Is it in the assets folder of your payday 2 folder ?
- Are you using mods that might be outdated or simply don't work as override but with BLT/BeardLib ?

And finally, are you sure you're in the good Payday 2 folder ? Maybe you're putting it in the one that was before you reinstalled the game, or maybe you're putting the folder in the place of a backup if you have one ?

I am not sure if the mods are outdated. I can see my mods information in the game's mods section, but they are not working. The mods are installed correctly, otherwise I won't be able to see the mods information in the game.

I checked one of the mods and it says it was updated on 8/14/2018 - I am not sure if this is a good date or not. I checked another mod from the same author and it was updated in the year 2015. That's very old. But I think the 2018 mod should be working.

Can you please list the names of the mods that are not working?

All the mods I installed are not working, not just one.

This mod is one of them:

Here is the other mod:

I checked the mod in question and it works perfectly fine for myself.
The mod should be placed in "\steamapps\common\PAYDAY 2\assets\mod_overrides\Coyote Sight"

Were you doing it in the same way?

Yes, i checked it. It is there.

Well this is interesting.
My current advice is to remove everything from the mod_overrides folder (including the folder itself), verify the integrity of game cache, recreate the mod_overrides folder manually if the game doesn't do it for you and place one of the mods back in.
See if that helps.

I just installed Beardlib and now the Coyote sight mod is working. But on link description of the mod it did not say that Beardlib is required.

I also just downloaded few mods that require Beardlib and they are all working fine.

Mhm. I just realized i was also using Beardlib(for something entirely different), i guess more complicated mods require Beardlib, or rather, Beardlib makes it easier to create/manage the custom content.

I lack the technical know-how to explain it in more detail. But i will leave the thread open if someone wants to chip in.

Mhm. I just realized i was also using Beardlib(for something entirely different), i guess more complicated mods required the plugin to function, or rather, Beardlib makes it easier to manage the custom content.

Thank you very much for your help :)
