    Hi Everyone
    SprattyHeath londonmidland ItsYa165 bescot
    So far TSW4 have been great and a big improvement from the last installment of TSW3, and i can't wait to see what the future have in store for the community. Although there are some stuff that can't be fix by DTG which is why there are a bunch of amazing people who create mods to make the game work. Unfortunately most of the Mod from TSW3 would not work for TSW4 because i have try it before thinking that to put all of the previous TSW3 into the TSW4 DLC Directory, but failed, when try running the game, instead of cause the game to crash.

    My question is that will these mods be converted over to TSW4 in the coming week or month?, cause without them the game really feel not fun and realistic to play. I really do hope to see all the previous mod convert to TSW4 compatibility soon. No rush to all the mod developer and stuff i will wait until it is converted, and look forward to see what all the wonderful mod creator will do. Thank you again to the amazing mod community and i look forward to seeing more wonderful mods in the future :cool::D;)

    This is with DTG at the moment.

    Mods made to replace files in DLC content will break the game, even new ones we tried specifically for TSW4.

    Matt has said elsewhere they are trying to find a solution.

    Right now we are focusing on some crash bugs elsewhere - we'll come back to this asap.

    Hope you can get it sorted. Mods on PC really elevate the overall experience.

    Yea as we feared from the start the addons manager and new TSW4 file structure have made 90% of previous mods no longer work and require updates, with no current obvious way to do it. Lets hope something is figured out soon!

    The file structure issue isn't the main reason for why mods from TSW3 are not working. The problem from what I seem to understand is that it is most likely either the addon manager (or from what the Discord community has been discovering, some form of DRM that was discovered in the registry files) clearly regardless of what it is, TSW4 has been programmed to only read DLCs that is legitimately from the Steam page etc & ignores everything else.

    What the workaround will be for this we do not know, it's just hoped that DTG get a hold of themselves and find a permanent solution that will allow mods to work again hopefully soon.
