How to play modded servers?

[Heekz]

Me and my cousin are trying out the game again. He downloaded the game first to try and see if it ran well for him. However, there seem to be a ton of issues with trying to get into a modded server:

Example: Bad port, bad version and missing files. Eventhough the game has just been installed and he is searching for mods on his current game version

Use the Dayzsalauncher if you want to play with mods.

I recommend the trader mod and mods that modify basebuilding.

Medical Attention mod is best mod.

Trader totally bypasses having to look for decent loot so i wouldn't recommend that because it turns the game into Exile / GTA. Trade should happen between players.
Medical attention though absolutely!

Depends on how the trader is configured. If prices are high it doesn't bypass the necessity to loot it just speeds things up a bit for people who can't play every day.
You are probably thinking about the pvp server where the traders are indeed used as a mechanism to gear up easily.

Still bypasses the system in the long run because you just have to sell enough junk that is readily available on such servers to afford rare stuff you otherwise would have to spend days to find or if you are very very lucky from a dead player. It's not about the config but the availability i am talking about here. Everything is available which makes rare loot not so rare anymore.
And before anyone says "I ken pley leik i want" yes you can but you can't say you are still playing DayZ.

Thanks for all the suggestions- Is there a particular server you guys have in mind thats pretty great overall? Just looking for an improved version of the current game with some quality of life stuff -

Depends on what you expect from the game.
If you want a general pew pew KoS loot everywhere experience go for the ones with traders, unlimited stamina and lots of military weapons mods.
If you actually want to play DayZ and not some other game avoid all the above i mentioned.
There are servers with mods like MedicalAttention or health rebalance more infected and less overall loot and rare food ( you have to plant stuff and or harvest animals ) that turns DayZ more into a survive against the elements game before all the pew pew. I read somewhere even reduce infected count so players aren't bothered by them when thy pew pew.
Be careful though because some survival servers have their own modpack or config where you can't see if they haven't cheated you on the survival part.
