remove Valheim plus mod

[franklin1k]

When I remove Valheim Plus the game does not start. How do I remove this mod and keep my world and character?

You don't?, that mod is baked into your save files.

I believe you can remove the dll file that is in the BepinEx folder. The server admin that I was wanting to play on looked it up and told me "go to your valheim folder and look inside BepInEx/Plugins and delete the .dll file" This worked for me.

Rule #1: when you install a mod, copy mod's instructions in a text file for later. Even better, but it's up to personnal taste, write a small summary of what the mod does.

This is how I've always done it. Remove the valheim+ dll from the bepinex plugin folder

The game not loading at all, and your character and world being corrupted, are two different things. Not sure why your game wouldn't load at all. You're saves could be changed by the mod, which might prevent loading - it's a pretty bad mod if it's done this.

You could try disabling all the options in V+ back to vanilla if you can, then loading your world and character. If the mod has any sanity it should (hopefully safely) remove it's crude off your save files since it doesn't do anything anymore, then you should be able to close valheim and remove v+. I have no idea if this actually works, if not V+ is a worse mod than I realised.

Did you remove something that doesn't belong to the mod? Have you tried reverifying your game files?

I'm not sure how you do it manually, but using Vortex, I was able to easily disable the mod when I was on the test branch. I did lose some stuff in my expanded chests, but other than that the save was fine. So V+ shouldn't be screwing up your save files that badly. (Although it could depend on which options you had turned on. But I'm not sure which ones would be so bad that you couldn't get it started.)

Unlike some games, Valheim doesn't have scripts inserted into its save file so you can literally just delete the DLL file in the bepinex/plugins folder for the mod in question and play the game without it. However, if it added anything to the game that isn't in the vanilla game (new models, objects, or extended functionality, etc) then those will be removed from the game but it shouldn't throw a crash.

Your save being corrupted means that your save was corrupted, it wasn't the mod or removal of the mod. You might have to - backup your local save files, delete them, and then start the game so Steam will refresh the local copy with the cloud copy.

Really wanted to be helpful here. On Unix, BepInEx location has to be added to the command line (launching parameters in Steam), so it's easy to disable it at will. Moreover, most BepInEx plugins come with a config file where first line is a boolean that allows you to specifically disable this plugin/mod. I checked that Valheim Plus has no such config file, apparently, using a GUI configuration manager instead (?).

Another solution is to rename or move the whole BepInEx folder, or just the Valheim_Plus dll.

Abiding to rule #1 allows you to better keep track of those files you dump into the game folder, so that you don't forget any when you manually unistall a mod.

Rule #2: try and avoid to install mods in game's folder, if possible. BepInEx allows to be installed (along with its plugins/mods) in a separate folder outside of game's and Steam's.
