Stuck "installing" mods? *..Solved?*

[Solo trash]

Hello all! Currently I am stuck on "installing" mods, the specific mod is Structures Plus. I play SP, and had everything running well, but Structures Plus updated the 15th or 16th. Neat! But now it is causing me issues. I can't load my saves or my structures and most of my items will be gone I know, but no matter how many times I unsubscribe, resubscribe, manually delete mod contents, etc, nothing seems to be working. I am now taking to just trying to wait it out and hope it will work, but I have done this before to no success. I've read through a bunch of similar issues from mid 16, late 15, and tried all the suggestions there, but nothing. I can't do much in way of clean installs, etc, because I have to work with limited download limits (thus the SP).

other things I have tried:
-verified my game files
-subscribing while in the game, and then proceeding to let it download while in ARK instead of before launching ARK
-installing another mod after Structures Plus. I used Dino Nests, since it was small. It downloaded, then proceeded to sit at "installing mods" with 2 instead of one. Upon rebooting ARK, it was properly installed and ready to go, Structures Plus was not

Everything I have done has still left me at the "installing 1 mod" and "Copying mod data to game directory" loop that I seem to be stuck in. Anybody have any ideas?

also, it does not seem to be only Structures Plus. I have had it happen with other mods, but I would just unsubscribe from them as I wasn't using them currently, this is the first mod that it has hit that was being used heavily in a save, so just unsubscribing and continuing isn't much of an option for me with this :(

After having some issues and needing to delete my save due to corruption, Structures Plus finnaly got out of its loop and installed. I don't know if the two are related, or if it was just a matter of timing, but it has corrected itself, at least for now.

Still no luck, so I guess until I can get it resolved or somebody is able to help, I may try my luck with the Moon conversion I downloaded a while back, see how that is!

Edited the initial post to reflect the status, it seems to be fixed now..?

I was having the same issue with this mod for the last few days, unknowingly. Today I decided to look into it a little and when I tried to bring up the mod on the workshop in game...it suddenly finished downloading.

This is ultimately unhelpful if it won't work for you, but hey, maybe it will and we can both begin enjoying the mod!

I actually am not really sure what happened to fix it for me, but I DID get it working. I didn't mark this as solved because I have had this issue multiple times before with other mods, some of Eco's, Annunaki after an update, to name a few. I honestly have no clue how to fix it, but it seems like it pretty much did the same for me as it did for you, so at least we can both use it now!

Did you try what was posted? If it is the same problem, then try the same steps we took to fix it, and it very well may fix itself. Otherwise, your best bet may be creating a new thread on the issue or finding one that has been updated more recently. Best of luck

delete original mod file and game download cache . run ccleaner reboot and try again

Go to steam downloads and it should be in queue, make it download.

Go to your steam, open the steam window and go to parameters, go to downloads and enable "downloads while playing" i think that should solve your problem

Pretty sure they've resolved it one way or the other after 2-3 years.
