Question about modding from Nexus

[A1 Steaksauce]

So I successfully downloaded and installed the Clone Trooper mod and Bot Replacer mod, but any other mods i've tried to install, such as the Clone Gunship mod, don't seem to be working. Has anyone else encountered this?

Any mod can cause ban, because anti-cheat can consider it as cheating, even if it's just graphical mod.
And such questions is better to ask on Nexus in mod discussion on mod page. Higher chances to get the answer.

To my knowledge, nobody's been banned for client-side skin changes yet, and really, it'd be a VERY complicated process for those types of mods to be detectable in the first place.

Unless a game has texture streaming via a server, it's safe to use these as long as you dont touch the parameters for mechanics.

It's words from devs. Use it on own risk. Changed files are easy traceable.

About solutions for your problem is better to ask on Nexus mod page, discussion part. More chances indeed.

They kinda use the same "mod policy" as Fatshark. "As long as you dont harm other players with it, its allowed".

AH are NOT OK with mods, but won't come after you unless:
- they affect the gameplay of other players,
- or actual cheating.

On the other hand, the provide nothing, promise nothing, and won't care if nGuard stops your game launching.
