Mods don't seem to work for Battle Brothers, and i can't figure out why.
I've tried installing Mods for Battle Brothers, but nothing happens. The game starts just fine, but no active mods. Game has been bought through Steam, and it has the DLC Lindwurm as only DLC.
I've used the Hook suggested and I've tried a number of different mods, but non of the work. I've tried installing through Vortex Download, Manual download (and drag'n'drop into the program) and I've manually installed them in the Data directory. I've tried uninstalling (And deleting remaining files) and installing on C: Drive instead of D: where it was originally installed. I've tried disabling all mods, and trying them one at a time. I've tried uninstalling all mods and install on at a time. When I tried with the LEGENDS mod, I showed Black screen with the cursor (and i could only exit with Task manager close. I can see that the game runs on 32-bit here.
I think I've run out of new ways to try to figure out a solution on my own, so I'm looking here to get some needed help.
Info on my setup
Vortex v. 1.2.20
64-bit windows 10 pro 32gb ram intel i7 core 8gb gefore gtx 1070 graphics card I get warnings that Vortex is run as an administrator, but when i right click the icon, it's not set as administrator.
In Vortex, go: Settings -> Mods -> Deployment Method -> Move Deployment. It worked for me when hardlink wasn't working. Make sure your mods are installed on the same drive, as previously suggested.
I had a chat with a user having problems with this extension on the Nexus Mods Discord and it seems that Battle Brothers doesn't work with symlink deployment.
It is actually possible to update your extension to declare Battle Brothers incompatible with this deployment type.
Add this to your game object: compatible: { symlinks: false }
