All but 1 mod crashes my game

[Rokol]

I've been trying to include a handful of mods (Structures Plus, Better Dinos, Keeps and Castles, some Eco's decor mods, and a handful of other dino additions/crossovers. I've had all of these mods working in the past, all downloaded through the Workshop). After going through all of the mods I have downloaded, 1 at a time on their own, and the only one that works is Lethal's Reusables. Having any other mod, even on their own, crashes the game on loading into the SP game. Anyone have any solutions?

I suggest making a copy of the entire saved game directory (I tend to compress to a zip file) so you can get back to where you are right now no matter what else you try. Keep the back up outside your steam directory.

You probably have something corrupted so verifying files is probably the first thing to try if you haven't already. (make take hours). If you haven't tried a brand new game, I suggest to test that as well. If the mods don't crash the new game, it's your saved game that is corrupted. (bad news: tough to fix).

If it doesn't' work on a new save, it's mostly likely corrupted mod files. Exit steam and proceed to delete all the folders (only the folders) in your mods directory (ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods). When you restart steam, it will download all those missing folders fresh. Wait for that to complete (could be a while). When that's done, start the game and look in the lower right to see when it finishes installing those mods. Don't start a game until that completes installing the mods. Depending on the size/quantity of mods subscribed, it can take a while.

If all else fails, uninstall the game and then go delete the entire shootergame directory to ensure nothing that is corrupted survives. Open steam, reinstall the game and mods and see if that fixed the problem BEFORE trying replace the saved game directory with your back up copy you created above.

Edit: Something I forgot to mention. Update your graphics driver!
