Mods disable achievements?

[Wilku21]

I wanted to download mod which would change size of containers (make them bigger) but I also want to get achievements, so would mods disable them, or no?

You still get achievements when having mods installed.

If this game still allows achievements with mods installed its one of the few that I know of.

Most games wont allow it for the simple reason using mods could circumvent the intended game play loop to get the achievements which, even in single player, 'cheapen' them when comparing in-game accomplishments with others (and don't lie, everyone after achievements looks at what percentage has got what achievement).

I don't really look how many people got certain achievement. I like getting them but I'm not hunting them.
It would suck if mods can disable them. One guy wrote they're not disabling them but i'm not sure.

Just tested it, I have TheLich's configurable QoL mod installed and am playing on custom and had no issue getting the underexposed achievement. So it seems mods do not disable them.

Most games I play do allow achievements with mods but I'm not playing competitive games. Single player and coop games it doesn't matter really. Limiting makes sense if it's online competitive but not really single/coop. Even binding of isaac rough like allows mods after beating the first boss without them.

Modding helps keep continued interest in non-competitive games.

Agreed. Modding is keeping games alive and blocking something because you installed mod is just stupid.
@Nekogod, you're right. I also installed QoL mod and Remote Storage mod, and I got two achievements so luckily they didn't disabled achievements for modded games.

I play on standard settings and I'm not even getting any achievement :(

hmm you should not get achievements in custom mode, does the mod enable that?

Not as far as I know. I'll try and find another easy achievement and play on a new custom game with no mod and see if it works.

Edit: Mod or no mod I was unable to get the 'aim small' achievement so it seems the mod does not enable achievements and custom mode doesn't disable every achievement only most.

I think that achievement is hit or miss especially in MP.

One day I shot at least 20 gnats well passed the distance needed to get the achievement and it never popped up for me. Try again the next day and got the achievement with the first gnat I shot.

Interesting, well at any rate re the OP mods do not disable achievements and custom games might or might not, but if they do it's not all of them.

I mean mods should disable achievements. The game can't decipher what mods you're using, and plenty of people use mods in games to get formerly rare achievements.

Monster hunter Rise has an achievement, for instance, that requires hunting 1000 "large monsters". People download mods that let them one shot monsters to farm it, making the achievement not rare and basically useless for people actively going for achievements.

They are called achievements for a reason, modding (basically cheating), kind of rules out the "achievement" part of getting the little icons finished lol.

[Carambar]

Honestly who cares how XoXoX094 obtained his achievements? Legit or cheat?

I cudnt care less, personally.

Edit: Didnt mean to seem aggressive, just a bit off a /rant.

They provide all those great custom options yet we are locked of achievements for playing in those settings. As if Godmode was any different than playing on Mild...

I just want my pet invincibility ffs...

Nah I don't care about how other people got their achievements. They're already useless even for bragging, no one really cares what achievements you've got, rare or not.

Achievements for me are a personal thing I know whether I feel I've earned it or not and I don't care if other people did or not, doesn't take away from what I've done.

Edit: Did a bit more testing, mods definitely do not affect achievements. And despite what the games says it is indeed possible to get some achievements in custom and creative. I got underdeveloped in custom and lounging around in creative. None of the crafting or killing achievements are being granted though so it appears to only be the ones that are not affected by the difficulty settings of the game.

Are you logged in? When I first played the game I wasn't and when I finally logged in, I got 2 or 3 achievements.
