Kenshi Vortex Isn't Installing Mods Into The Mod Folder

[Schokofleisch]

Finally got the game on steam, but i'm having issues installing mods, as no matter what I try vortex doesn't install mods into the mod folder

 

The mod staging folder is on the same drive as the kenshi installation (my ssd), the mod staging folder also correctly has every mod inside

 

Vortex itself is showing no errors, and if the mods did show up then I'm assuming they'd run perfectly

 

I tried manually copying all the mods from the mod staging folder into the kenshi mod folder, which did not work as the game still didn't detect the mods

 

Tried verifying files, didn't help. Tried reinstalling every mod, didn't help. The only thing I haven't tried yet is reinstalling kenshi and/or moving it out of the steam commons file

Try reinstalling kenshi from steam to your DESKTOP and reinstalling mods with Vortex after setting the new installation directory to point to your desktop.

 

Or basically reinstall the game in a custom path outside of steam

 

You may have to adjust steam workshop mod path as well to kenshi desktopfolder< mods folder path if you do my way for easy access, or set the mod install paths for vortex and steam workshop to reflect wherever you reinstall kenshi at outside of steam

 

Also if you made anything readonly like the mod list for instance it will never be able to read/write to your mods to see the changes id take read only off the entire kenshi folder or try to keep everything defaulted if possible

 

Also never edit any mods you install with vortex outside of vortex ie when you manually copied and extracted under any circumstances it messes vortex up or something always uninstall or reinstall with vortex but i get you were trying solutions it seems to be a folder/path issue

 

And yes its the moving it out of commons is the issue but uninstall the game first and reinstall it the right way with custom steam install settings please

 

If you messed with any txt pad files that you messed with variables with and set to read only could also be the culprit interfering with mods not being read.

 

And no nothing installed into the mods folder will show up in your game at all even if your system shows its there if the kenshi launcher doesnt see it. Its a read issue its a easy fix
