Can't add any mods that are not from Workshop

[ladeessedeleau]

(I'm sorry, I'm french and I know my english is not really OK. It's my first time on this forum).

 

Hello,

I wonder why I can't add to my game any mods I downloaded from the web (or my own mod that I'm working on) : from Klei website for example.

However, the mods that I got on the Steam Workshop are OK and work well.

Did I miss a step in the way to install them ?

I just copy the unzipped file I downloaded in D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\dont_starve\mods.

And then, when I launch the game and go in the mods menu, all my personnalised files are automatically deleted from D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\dont_starve\mods so I can't use them.

 

Actually, I would create a new character (based on Wilson but with a few changes), and possibly edit a character I downloaded from the Workshop (change some stats like hunger or sanity level). But when I create a copy of the mod file, same result, the game erase it...

Can somebody help me with that ?

Thanks a lot !

You could try turning off the cloud sync from steam.

 

This is all I know, but I hope it works for you!

Doesn't work

 

I also tried to launch the game with steam in offline mode, and also with my internet connexion off and... same result.

 

Maybe there is a way to activate some mods without going in "mods" menu in game ?
 

Does anybody have this problem too ? x_x seems weird that my game reacts differently... And I don't like very much to work on my mods and see them erased by the game when I just want to try them >_<"

check to see if the version of the mod matches the version of the game or else they wont work

You can force mods to load from the "modsettings.lua" file located in your "mods" folder. Using "ForceEnableMod" which is explained in that file.
