Mod list gone

[Kar4ever]

Last I played, everything was working. Mods could be sub'd to and be downloaded, and pop on the list to enabled or disabled. Everything was great and Conan was happy. After this latest update no mods are on the mod list. Just a blank list. After buying the dlc the list was still empty. After getting a mod that was confirmed to work with the new dlc, and less than an hour old, it still didn't make the list. After rebooting computer, the list was still clean. After reinstalling, the list was still clean. After spending a day troubleshooting, the only solution that is not tried is the "Have you tried uninstalling steam and download everything again". So while I am very sad to hear all the mod problems other people have, I kinda just wish I had mods to give me problems. Help?

What I did was went into the game files and emptied out the file modlist.txt. Then I went to the workshop and unscribed from ALL the mods and resubscribed to the ones that were updated that we use.

Went into the game to the mod section and activated them. Restarted the game.

This worked for us with no issues and mods are happily doing their thing with no issues.

Uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, not all mods are functioning and when I click on MODS at the main menu the game freezes and I have to restart my computer. No way to see what Mods I have running.

You won't get the Mods to Work anyway I was forced to delete the modlist.txt for the Mods cause the Game would Crash... That Worked... But I really can't go without some quality of life mods... The Mods are still in the Menu but do not activate them... I Think some thing is bugged and it throws up a False Positive which Crashes the Entire Game

Go into your game file directory and find the modslist.txt file open it and delete everything in it then save it. This will wipe out the mod laod list so the game wont try to load mods.

This should get the game running with no mods.

Then you goto the Steam Workshop and unsuscribe form all the mods and resubscribe to the ones that have been updated that you wan to use.

Restart the game you will be able to see the mods you just subscribed to to activate them.

This method worked for us.

I normally need to wait like 1 min after hitting the mod button.

Many got broken, even more for the new map. But not all did break.

Chances are that one needs to wipe the workshop folder from steam. It can cause problems, at leasr in other games.

I just tried that. Including a full system scan for a modlist.txt file. But no such thing. And no mod folder in the .../common/conan exiles/conansandbox folder either. I can see where Steam download the files to, but game is not picking up on those .pak files. Thanks for helping.

I can copy you the path in ~1h.
It exists somwhere in the folder.

Is the baseline, so i guess either something broke or you already deleted it.
You could just try it to manually add the folder with an empty .txt file called "modlist". Wouldn't be too surprised if lacking it causes issues for the game as it looks for something that doesn't exist.

The workshop mods should end up in
steamapps\workshop\content\440900
Maybe wiping it would change things.

Yeah, even a fresh install didn't give me that mod folder. So no idea what is causing it. Even a redownload of all the mods did nothing. So.... who knows. I'll try to manually add it. For now it's 07:25 in the morning and I'm dead tired.

Welp.... that didn't work. And kinda did. What I did was, manually make the Mods folder. Manually make the modlist.txt. Then go into the steam mod folder named 440900 and copy/paste the pak into the .../conansandbox/mods folder. But it seems to work, so it's something. Thanks everyone who tried to help. Ya'll deserve a pat on the shoulder and 1 free bracelet removal.

Now just to find a way to mark my solution as the problem solution.... because I apparently can't do that to my own post. GG Steam.
