Regarding Mods And Valheim Updates

[Munin]

We want to remind everyone that Valheim doesn't officially support mods. While we understand that many players enjoy using mods to enhance their gaming experience, it's important to note that every little update to the game can break your mods.

We know that this can be frustrating, but we want to make it clear that if you choose to use unofficial modifications, you do so at your own risk. Valheim doesn't provide any official support for mods, and as a result, we cannot guarantee that they will continue to work after each update.

It's also worth mentioning that no one is to blame if your mods break after an update. It's simply a risk you take when using unofficial modifications. While we do understand the appeal of using mods to add new content, fix bugs or improve gameplay mechanics, it's important to weigh the potential consequences against the benefits.

As always, we encourage all players to enjoy Valheim in whatever way brings them the most fun and enjoyment. Just keep in mind that if you choose to use mods, you may need to adjust your expectations accordingly. Thank you for your understanding, and happy gaming!

Take it up with the ones that made/makes the mod. That's it. Nothing to see from here other than someone wanting the devs make up for the the mod makers not staying on top of changes and in an EA game they are frequent.

the amount of disrespect from mod users to the devs is enough to get them banned from steam communities yet the devs are literally just going along with it and being nice and explaining that if you want your mods to work you either have to roll back to an older version or wait for the mods to be updated.

honestly, i think the entitled modders should have their gaming privileges revoked the way they act as if they're more important than the rest of us.

fun fact, the devs don't care about your mods because they aren't their responsibility.

what is their responsibility, is the cross play port they are currently working on, and that is WAY more important than your mods because the entire xbox playerbase is vastly bigger than the pc modder player base.

get OVER yourselves.

The only one here who is to blame is Steam and its force update policy.. I mean just look at the options they gave us...

Always keep this game updated
Only update this game when I launch it
High priority - Always auto-update this game before others

lol... why do we even need options.. just update as soon as possible

Another opinion that bears no relevance to the point being made. I'm not going to bother engaging because it get's a bit tiring explaining the same thing over and over again.

Indeed. Which is why more beta options are required for people that want to stay on a particular version. Somehow, I am perceived as being entitled or unreasonable for stating that. What a topsy turvy world we live in these days.

Right from the FAQ:

Modding
If I use mods, will I be able to play when the game updates?
Every time we update the game, many mods that players use become incompatible with the game. Until your mods have been updated by their creators they will most likely not work with Valheim. To make sure you don't lose anything, it's a good idea to backup your worlds and characters [C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim] where mods are used before downloading new updates. In order to be certain that you can play larger updates right away, you should also have your mods (temporarily) removed!

I totally get that. The problem is that updating on steam has now become mandatory. Without additional beta options to choose from, it prevents players from staying on the version that works for them (at least until mod devs update). It's not a lot to ask for the devs to be mindful of that and provide an option for those of us that enjoy a modded game.

A lot of people have busy lives and don't have time for the full grind of vanilla valheim but, still want the opportunity to experience the game together. Myself and my son being a case in point. As well as other friends of mine who play the game.

EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT YOU'RE WRONG AND A MODERATOR LITERALLY EXPLAINED THIS ALREADY

The embodiment of work is hard so why try to do better.

No game company works updates around mods
some games have hundreds of thousands of Mods. no game company with any sense of mind would go through each one to make sure they work with an update they got coming out. this is why we say, use mods at your own risk.

if an update breaks your mods, go to the last stable version it worked on.
How to:
Right click on Valheim in your game library.
Go to properties.
Click Beta Tab.
Select default_old Previous stable. in the top dropdown

then your mods should work. if not. go to the modders download page and leave them a message.

These are your primarily options.
secondary is waiting for the mod makers to update
tertiary is make the mods yourself.

all of you saying steam forced this are out of your minds, i had to click on update to update it.

and if i wanted too, i could simply click on the betas tab to play with the outdated mods that were broken by the update, JUST AS THE MODERATOR HAS SAID.

OP - if you haven't already try this.
First get Val+ Fix https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/2323
Next BepInEx https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/denikson/BepInExPack_Valheim/
Heading to bed but testing those 2 out for 15-20 mins with the game on fully updated branch and stuff seemed ok. I don't use most of V+ options though.

It isn't the devs responsibility to keep up with unofficial mods. Modding 101.

Nor are they being asked to. If you take the time to read the thread, then you will see that.

Thank you for the positive and helpful contribution. Managed to fix it earlier manually with the BepinEx update and the unix update from Nexus. Take care and thanks again.

Your first reply to the thread does just that. It's there for everyone to see. Use mods at your own risk. Glad you understand that now.

OP's problem was solved.

To avoid further conflicts, the thread is now locked.

Update broke mods? Try this...

Not sure if someone addressed this already. Update to latest BepInEx (5.4.21). All my mods are working with latest Valheim patch. Just download and overwrite, no need to reinstall mods. I can confirm mods like farm grid, mass farming, quick stack, craft from containers, and equip wheel are all working flawlessly with latest patch and everything updated.
