How to enable mods ?

[netshaman]

I had installed some mods with vortex, but it is impossible to make them working , i had followed all the tutorials around , but no way.
Clues ?

Have you installed Qmods in to your Subnauitca files?

[netshaman]

yes i had installed all that is needed.
I don't know why it is not working.

Some mods require "helper" mods - make sure you check the Requirements tab on the mod download page.

[Sabin Stargem]

I think that some mods have moved onto a new SMLHelper library, deprecating the old one.

I suggest starting with *one* mod that does not require any helpers, like the Map mod.

If you can get that to work, then you're probably missing the Required helpers for the other mods.

So, i think i have a similar Problem.
I installed Qmods (i downloaded it from NexusMods) and installed it.
Everything worked fine, i got a QMods Directory in the Subnautica Steamfolder so i downloaded some Mods and extracted the files into the QMods Directory.

I checked the Folders in the QMods Directory and every Folder was named like the Mod it contained (for Instance Customized Storage is named Customized Storage).
When i start Subnautica i now have a "mod"tab in the Options Menu (don't know if that tab was there before i installed QMods) AND there are 2 Options i can take, BUT only for the Cyclops Mod i Installed ( MoreCyclopsUpgrades ). I can turn the "Conserve Power" Option on or off and define when the Cyclopse will start charging.
But no other installed Mod shows up.
I also installed "Modding Helper" as some Mods like the more Upgrade Mods needed it, but most of the mods only needed QMods.

So, does anyone know how to get the Mods working?
I'm really confused.
Do i have to start a new game(i'm only an hour into a new Game so it would not be THAT bad, but still....)?
Or does something else interfere?

Thanks for all the help.

Some mod options don't appear until you load a save file and won't be available from the main menu.

[godfather101]

Tried to load a save file but the Mod Options still only show the 2 Cyclopse Options.
And the things that should be there (like bigger storage and such things) aren't there either.

[PrimeSonic]

Customized storage doesn't use an in game options menu.

Many mods need to have their config settings set before the game runs, so they'll use text files (usually in the mod folder) for the player to configure before starting the game.

[Cougarific]

Edit: (oops Alex and I posted basically the same thing - ninja'd)

Only a couple of mods add options to the Mods category - for most of them they just work, period.

For bigger storage you have to follow the instructions on the Mod download page to change the settings manually by editing a text file (technically a .json file that you open with a text editor).

[PrimeSonic]

In short, go back to the Description page on Nexus for the mods you've downloaded.

The authors will have written up there anything you need to know about how to configure their mods.

Not all mods can be configured while the game is running. Those are where the files will come in.

The fact that you're seeing these options at all though indicate to me that you have successfully installed the mods in the first place.
