Mod Help

[PatricoTHEsquid]

Hi, I am trying to make a character mod for DST and every time I load the mod  it crashes before the world even loads and says, an error occurred check your log for details. I checked I found my mod wasn't working because it apparently couldn't  load the mod's configuration data, I can't figure out what to do, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If you want help it's better to attach your mod and post the log (as a spoiler).

(Search for "error" in the log to find error, usually it helps).

I don't have the time to look at the mod, but try to find and fix the error yourself, it's a great way to learn. If you can't fix it alone, ask for help again

[PatricoTHEsquid]

It Worked! Thanks so much, that was really helpful 

[Lumina]

I'm glad to hear it Good luck with your mod !
