How do you install mods?

[GünterMannDerKeinCS2Kann]

I don't get it, description on Nexus says for example: "move into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\State of Decay\Game\libs\class3.1\contentmanager". But my game folder doesn't have a libs folder. Tried to just create it myself, still doesn't work.
I'm confused

Your not giving enough information for much good help.

Yes, if the folders do not exist, create them.

From what you do have, that mod will ONLY work in breakdown. (class3.1)

Content manager folder usually has stuff like vehicle changes, missions or base changes. Depending on what the mod does depends on when and if it will show up in an existing save game. If that is what your doing.

[GünterMannDerKeinCS2Kann]

Yeah I‘m playing currently breakdown, and I tried in existing save game and in new save game. Both not working

[WillieSea]

Okay, again, what is not working?

The mods

[WillieSea]

Not helpful.

If you want help you will need to include a lot more detail than that.

Then tell me what details you want

I don't like dragging information out of people, it is exhausting. But, to name a few common mod related questions:

You don't say what mod or where you got it from.

You don't say what you expect to happen in the game that is not happening.

You don't say where you installed the game, because the folder named in the mod install directions could be different than where you installed the game. My steam games are on my D drive so that means the player needs to be aware of that difference and how to cope. For example: D:\SteamGames\steamapps\common\State of Decay YOSE\
Also, the folders must be named correctly for the game to even see the mod.

1. I got them from NexusMods which is mentioned in the question

2. The Mods are not working in the game and I expected them to work. The mods are: Backpacks and Pick-ups fix, Upgrade Built-In Facilities, Don's Vehicle Delivery, No Supply Locker Limit, Double Capacity Vehicles. Most mods should be self explanatory except
Don's Vehicle Delivery: makes so Ray only brings you good cars,
Backpacks and Pick-ups fix: I only installed the backpack fix which makes it possible to store backpacks in the back of Pick-ups.
Don's Vehicle Delivery and Double Capacity Vehicles are not compatible with each other and I didn't try to install them both.

3. Yes I got the game installed on my D drive too and moved the mods there because I just right clicked State of Decay YOSE and clicked browse local files.

YOSE was released in 2015. Most all original SoD mods are NOT compatible with YOSE. Unless the mod specifically says it is. The mod community died down a lot when YOSE was released.

Backpacks and Pick-ups fix - Not a SoD YOSE mod, and not needed in YOSE. All vehicles now have a trunk so you don't have to manually put 'rucksacks' physically in the back of trucks anymore.

Upgrade Built-In Facilities - Since the mod was last updated in 2014, I am going to say it is NOT compatible with YOSE.

Don's Vehicle Delivery - Also last updated in 2014, so probably not compatible with YOSE.

No Supply Locker Limit - Should work fine.

Double Capacity Vehicles - Should work fine. The description for the mod tells you what to expect. This increases the trunk slots available to place things in.

Some mods I created that do work with YOSE and can be found on Nexus.
More Backpacks, Home Lighting Realistic, Mt Tanner Bridge fixed, Tow truck v10.

Well the mods didn't work so I tried the Nexus Mod Manager/Vortex and now work Backpack and Pick-ups fix and Double Capacity Vehicles, the rest still doesn't wrok

[WillieSea]

When I said a mod was not compatible, that means it was made for original State of Decay. The files are different between Original State of Decay, and this new version State of Decay YOSE.

Using a mod that is not for YOSE will cause problems, if not now, then while you are playing some YOSE functionality will either not work, not show up, or cause future game crashes.

Using Vortex and it working simply tells me you were not putting the mods in the correct game folder.

Not all mods can be used at the same time. Last one loaded overrides previous mods that edit the same file.

oh, lucky i read everything cos i was just about to list how to install mods for that GunterMannDerKein guy, @WillieSea, I appreciate dudes like you, others similiar to you left random things on places ive been looking for mods or trying to install them, and it helped me tons, so much i can install most mods on games on steam by myself if they dont auto install themselves etc, I love mods and is Nexus the only, or the best place to get mods for YOSE, n dont worry, if it dont say YOSE on the mod or mods description, ill find one that does haha. Wie gehst and auf wiedersen or however it spelt

[WillieSea]

Nexus is about the best place to find SoD mods. There may be mods in other locations, but a lot of times those were stolen and uploaded to places the original author did not approve and may contain viruses.
