Can you play with others while using mods?

Im refering to the use of the mod ItemStats. Its a really good QoL change that i'd like to use but it prevents me from playing multiplayer, which is 90% of my playtime.

Only if they also have the mods

why is this painfully obvious question always asked, it's a pretty straight forward logical answer...
X person cannot play with Y person unless they are running the same Z copy of the game...

This apply's to VERSIONS of, and MODS APPLIED... AH duh!

well that seems like the most shady mod you can think off without outright cheating... why ♥♥♥♥ with people that choose to play vanilla like that? I mean the obvious answer is a four letter word starting with C... But it's still a question worth asking imo.

Do all dll files go into plugins or does it go somewhere else? doesnt say on modders page.
it also says deprecated, is it still funtional?

You know what they say about assumptions, or do you require the explanation?

The same comment applies, even if you're the host running that mod, why would you choose to mess with someone elses vanilla run of the game unless that four C word applied to you?\

Seems redundant to ask if i'm where i'd like to be or why bother commenting, cause the same answer applies apparently.

It's asked because there are games that can be run with people using gameplay changing mods and the host running vanilla. Payday 2 is a prime example of that.

I've joined a modded host game before with a 16 player limit while I was vanilla. There were unlimited use Shrines of the Mountain EVERYWHERE and all sorts of odd text blazing through the logs. This to say that this is also one of those games where not everyone needs matching mods to play together.

It depends on the mod.
Mods that add content (i.e. characters, stages, enemies, items, etc) require the host/server and all clients to have the mods.
Mods that change simple gameplay mechanics (i.e. late join, item share, whatever handsoap posted, etc) only require the host/server to have the mod.
Mods that do not affect gameplay, nor introduce any new content whatsoever (i.e. betterui, ost swaps, etc) only require the client to have the mod.
