Easier to use the mod launcher and let it do it's work.
Installs and starts the mods for you and you keep the original install.

I wholeheartedly disagree about mod launcher. It's an unnecessary complication which the mod author recommends not using.

OP, you didn't say what "didn't work" means. Does it run at all?

My suggestions: follow the authors guide on how to install the mod

If that doesn't work, try cleaning out the old data which may be conflicting and install again.

K, if you say so. How is it a complication? I'm lazy and use the ML for its convenience. No troubles. But to each their own I guess. Have fun ;)

I use the mod launcher too, no issues at all and i can start different games with different mod overhauls and have seperate games. Switching whenever i want.

The mod launcher also leaves your steam vanilla copy alone and makes no changes to it.

As does the manual installation in the video above. If you follow the discord or mod topic on the official forum, for DF or Undead Legacy, over and over again you have people with problems installing the mod. And over and over again the problem comes from using the mod launcher.

I think the mod launcher is a good idea if you want to try out different mods, like one stop shopping. But if something doesn't work, go and bother the mod launcher author, not the modder.

i finally got it to work, had to uninstall and reinstall.

I have to agree with seven about the mod launcher. It IS a nice tool IF you plan to be trying out various different mods. But, if your set on just using DF or UL or just one overhaul mod, you really don't need the mod launcher. Just copy the 7d2d directory from in the steam folder over to a place you create on the C: drive and install the mod into that copy. It's pretty simple. The problem comes when people don't understand / follow the directions for installing the mods for best results--over a copy instead of the steam install. Also, the mod launcher can be difficult for some people to install and use correctly so, it can just be an added set of steps that aren't necessary.

i just read something about a build issue mine being 20.6 well the mod file location changes at 20.4 so i dont know where or what file path to use . i understand how to install the mod for older versions but i have tryed both ways inclueding the copy way and it does not load . so what am i missing here ?

reinstall the mod or the game ? also what build version of the game do you have ? if you could post your mod file path that would help . iam thinking iam just overlooking something stupid

Mod launchers are the way to go despite what some "experts" claim.

[seven]

Yeah, just ignore the mod authors. What do they know?

[Andi]

You know, even if using a mod launcher isn't the best method so it's a very easy and convenient way to install the big overhauls. Not everyone is used to digging into files and folders, you know, dragging them all around, overwrite or copy/paste stuff.
One could always try the hard (or in this case recommended) way, if a mod launcher fails and causes any trouble.
To this point, I'd always suggest to try the easy way first. And it actually works fine each time for my buddys and myself so...
