Mod Manager Not Working #105

Open TheDootin opened 1 year ago

TheDootin commented 1 year ago

Howdy folks, I want to start this off by saying I'm a moron when it comes to technology, so bear with me.

As far as I can tell I've followed all the steps. I have the mod manager, all my mods are in the correct folder. They show up in the manager, I drag them to the left side to enter them in the load order, save the load order to file, export to game, and I've checked in preferences and made sure my Order Path is correct. All is well there, my profile is Public, and my Mod Order is set to Current. By everything I've seen, it should be working, but it's not. I've even been launching the game straight from the mod manager. The game loads as normal, and nothing changes. None of my mods take effect and it's just the base game.

Am I missing something obvious? I've scoured everything I could find for answers before resorting to this, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

It's happening to me as well and only just started doing this in the morning, from what I can tell from my experience is that it's now exporting to my C drive rather than where my game is actually located. Been trying to figure something out, at the moment I'm just reinstalling it to see if that works.

Hey I did this in the hightlighted text, did everything else that you said and it ended up working again. I hope this works for you. HELP

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried this and sadly it still didn't work and I still have no idea what I'm doing wrong :(

Hec, maybe next thing is to check for updates on mods and such, with the second patch a lot of mods had to be updated. I hope you get an answer soon!!

Have you tried exporting the game order by clicking the export order to game button beside Export text or using Ctrl+E ?

I have, and that didn't fix it either :(

The "Orders" path is just where it should save/load json load orders (like with File -> Save Order As...). You don't need to set that to your profiles folder (unless you want to for whatever reason). By default it's a folder relative to BG3MM named "Orders".

After exporting, open your modsettings.lsx in a program like Notepad++, then launch the game. If the file changes / reverts to an empty load order, that means the game is resetting it due to one or more of your mods having an issue when loading (corrupted pak, subfolder in your mods folder, some issue with the mod's data itself).

Just noticed that you put it in the left side first according to what you wrote, i did encounter this issue. It happens when I drag mods from another folder directly to the active mods first instead of inactive mods. If you put it on the left side first then save it and export it, it doesn't affect the game at all. Try dragging it on to the right or inactive mods first then put it on the left side or active mods, and then save it and export it once more. This should fix if your issue is the same as mine
