Together we are strong - the great heathen Hird

In the end, this is exactly the point where the devs said, the editor would no longer be able to mod the game, especially since installing it requires some knowledge about how to adapt the file structure. The alternative would have been to take the mod down a few days after publishing.

Btw, I'm happy that you like the mod in itself, after all, that's the most important part - I would happily explain to each one individually how to fix the installation.

I am certainly not offended, in fact I tend to agree with you - had I known that there would appear a problem with the installation, I might have paid more attention to the instructions, unfortunately, I realized way too late that there is a problem.
Admittedly, I struggled to explain it in a way that is easy to understand, but I believe I mentioned the guide for the (free) editor - while it is certainly asking much to download the tool just for this, it does cover the basics of the folder structure of the game in much more depth than I could reliably explain in the forum. In the end, regardless of which instructions are used, it is necessary to have a look at the file structure of the game - which is not helped either since there are duplicate names by the design of the game.

Hello. Your problem is that you absolutely do not know how to make installation guides for your mods. You have made a mod for yourself, and it is not necessary that all other players have the same knowledge in the field of modding and installation. As the creator of quite a large number of mods in different games, I can say that: The main success of a mod is the correct and consistent instructions for installing it.
For the work, the score is 5, for the description of the mod - 2.
P.S. Please accept my comments as instructions, but not as criticism in your direction.

No problem, I'm glad it worked out - there should not be any separate workaround necessary, the procedure should take care of every character, assuming you did place all files correctly.

Originally, I was hoping/assuming that it just worked, but as this pushed the event editor far beyond what was supposed to be possible, unfortunately I had to develop that installation workaround - but once that is done correctly, it should give you access to all. In fact, part of the reason for the Gydja was that this is a good opportunity to spot early in the game if it worked or not.

aight just redid the workaround and it works. sorry for wasting ur time man. altho id like to ask if the other potential recruits from this mod would require their own workarounds or if they should work without any additional file moving. either way seriously man thanks for the mod, you a legend.

hey, sorry about the delay, but i'm doing one more clean reset and re installation of both the game and the the mod. given what i've read about modding expeditions i think it might be because i was using almost every event mod on the workshop lmao. i'll run this with just this mod installed and if the gydia still doesn't work i'll send over the screenshots of my folders

Well, no it's not quite dead... unfortunately, I can't think of any issues with installation, except for the workaround described in the discussion thread. Right now, I would guess the most probably cause is that you might have made a typo on one of the folders, or misplaced some of the files - can you attach a list of you file tree in the discussion, then I'll take a look?

alr ik this place is prolly dead but idk where to ask. trying to recruit the ribe gydia and i can't figure out how. downloaded this thing before starting two seperate games, redownloaded in both, and followed the threat instruction to the letter to no availe. any help would be nice

Almost...
You need to split up the CustomRandomEvents/Camping into several folders, not just into a Camping subfolder, so there should be a Camping, a HomesteadSummer, a Ribe etc. - I just added the list where everything needs to end up to the thread.
After that, you should be good to go - let me know how it turned out!

so now i followed your guide and tried to place the entire mod in the "my games\Expeditions Viking" folder in documents .. now i have 2 extra (new) folders in there that didnt exist before

first one looks like this "Custom Localization\English\Localization\Dialogue"

second one looks like "Custom Random Events\Camping"

is that correct ?? i will start a new game and test it out if so
