QMods not working

[Spags]

So I installed qmods and the sml mod helper thing, made a qmods folder in subnautica directory and downloaded a bunch of mods and added them to the qmods directory (did not include the extra qmods parent folder most mods came with). Not a single one works. Any idea why?

Q mods creates it own folder. I had the same problem with a bad Qmod's download. I found another one on a game site and it installed the folder and the injection installed well too. Search for Qmod.exe on the web and try the installer from a different web site. It fixed my problem it might fix yours.

If you had to make a QMods folder manually, then something didn't go right in the installation.

Also, by now, most modders won't add the QMods folder into their archives since it's expected that you will extract it directly into the existing QMods folder.

So rerun the QMod installer.
The one on Nexus should be the only one you need.

Also, make sure you are extracting the mod archives directly and not into new folders.

If the folder names in your QMods folder have the same names as the zip files they came from, you did it wrong.

OP, you clearly did something wrong. Delete the QMods folder. Do a fresh download and install of the latest version of the QModManager and then once that successfully installs and creates the QMods folder, then extract the downloaded mods into the QMods folder. All of the instructions for this are very clearly explained. Use this site for the mod downloads: https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/top/

I can't get any mods to load either - i've reinstalled Qmods several times - they were all working for me a few days ago - have the devs disabled them

1) Get off the experimental branch.
2) Run a Steam Verify check to re-download the DLLs and restore your files back to their original state.
3) Reinstall QModManager then.

And for the record, the devs aren't the ones who disable mods. Mods aren't officially supported.
The QModManager installer actually rewrites one of the game files so it it runs mods.

And so far, on the stable branch, mods are still running as normal.

On the experimental branch, some mods are sure be sure to be broken.

I didn't capitalize Q. problem solved.

It's fine. No point grousing too much when I have such a large backlog of games to play.

That and I'm glad that someone has my issues too.

This has just helped me in January 2020. Thank you!

I had this same problem for months and found out yesterday, I have to install Qmod (3.0) very frequently to have it keep working. Yesterday, I had to install it every time I'd left Subnautica. Today, I haven't had to install it yet, despite having gotten a somewhat-large update in Experimental mode (the only change I've noticed, is that the med kits and fabricators are now white and green instead of white and red).

I have the exe permanently set on my desktop now though, lol. I don't uninstall anything first, I just hit the exe, click next the whole way through and boom, it works again. Very strange...

PS: I also added the Subnautica folder as an exception in both my anti-malware and anti-virus and didn't even have either installed until recently, so I know that's not what causes the problem (unless it's Windows Defender).

I'm glad I haven't done this bugdate yet, after reading all the problems that have appeared I pass my turn.
