Modding the Library (Now with Autoupdater/Installer)

A quick rundown on how to mod the game via NexusMods. Translated guide originally made by Pcix.

Installing and updating Basemod automatically

To start off, pick up the basemod installer[www.nexusmods.com]. You'll need a nexus account for this. Once you have it, unzip the exe into Ruina's core folder (Can be accessed via properties>Browse local files). It should be over here and your folder should look like this.
Now run it. The program will take a couple of seconds and will download and install basemod automatically.
You can delete the new, downloaded basemod archive if you wish, but you should be good. Launch the game and check it out.

As for updates, launching the program will install the latest version of basemod available over your current one, so if you know the new version's out, running the program again is enough.

If you're having problems with this method, try out the manual method.

Installing Basemod

Preparations

First things first, grab yourself a basemod[www.nexusmods.com]. Make sure that the version of the mod is corresponding to the current version of the game. You'll need a nexus account to download it however.

Installing the basemod

Navigate to your game folder (right-click on the game>manage>browse local files). Once you're there, navigate through the LibraryOfRuina_Data folder, then unzip the downloaded file into the said folder.
And you're done! Keep in mind that if the basemod stops working its most likely the game getting updated, so you'll have to reinstall the mod once the relevant version of it corresponding to the game version gets made, Alternatively, if you wish to remove the mod, right click on the game>properties>local files>verify integrity of game files.

Installing mods

Now you should have 2 new folders in the root folder, open up the basemods folder.
Most mods are easy enough to install, just unzip the mod folder inside them into the folder.
Make sure that the mod file is in a separate folder, otherwise it will not work!
If the mod just comes in a form of a file or set of files, just make a separate folder with any chosen name.
Now you can drop in the files into the new folder and the mod should function.
And that's about it, have fun testing out mods.

This guide is very outdated. You shouldn't use Nexus in 99% of circumstances and should just use the workshop.

It looks like the game has it's own mod manager... thing now, do the same steps essentially apply?

@MagicalFlyingPurpleTreeSquid Nope, thought it was a PC thing but it happens on both my laptop and my pc, got no idea what the issue is

@The Sakura No Uta of EVNs Did you ever figure out the fix for that problem? It appears I have the same problem as well.

Hey, I'm trying to use the All Achievements and the All Gifts mod. I installed BaseMod with the installer and made sure it was all up to date, but each time I attempt to use them, I get this error message:

The type initializer for 'HarmonyLib.Harmony' threw an exception.
at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Object.__icall_wrapper_mono_generic_class_init(intptr)
at Patty_AllAchievement_MOD.Harmony_Patch..ctor () [0x00006] in <9d642a1561984222ba62fb420abd76bc>:0

Do you know how to fix this? Thanks.

Tmod wasn't really made with official workshop in mind and is more focused on core mechanic change mods, when steam is mostly just skins and custom receptions. They should work together but I might need Pcix for details. You can't really MANAGE steam mods through tmodloader though, they'll be autoenabled probably.
