Thank you. I trust you to know what's best. I'm sure this will all get worked out in the best possible way.

Thanks for your reply, I'm a huge fan and I use your backpack mod. I fully understand that in the future they plan to change the location. Right now however, the way I am reading it there is no difference other than the fact that if you have mods in appdata, they will load globally. So you just leave your mods seperated to the game folder for now (making sure there are no mods in appdata), and that's it. Am I wrong? Please tell me if I am.

Yes, please do, since apparently this guy has no idea wtf he's talking about. If I've got this totally wrong I really, really want to hear how . Please, somebody who actually knows how this works tell me why I am wrong.

This post exemplifies my point.

The Steam forums is choking with posts asking "TFP, why you move mods folder?, now my game broken" . Again, do what you like. My entire point here is to help keep this simple for the user. The fact is that your average gamer would take one look at this thread and likely resolve to never use mods at all based on this confusion and chaos, when it's really not nearly as bad as it sounds. Do what you like.

How? I don't use a launcher, so I assume that's what you must mean. Doing it manually this is very simple. Regardless, the narrative that "the mods folder got moved" is inaccurate at best and people are getting the wrong idea. You can still launch mods from seperate locations and as long as you have no mods in %appdata% you should have no issues.

The devs and modders need their own discord channel to discuss these things. Conversations like these out in the open are fueling the false narrative that "they moved the mods folder" when in fact for the user, nothing has changed. Simply DON't put any mods in %appdata% and you're fine. If the concern here is to help the less powerful users have easy access to mods, information overload is a thing. Most regular players just blast over this long thread and assume the mods folder has been moved, period. Now it's more complex in their minds already. It would be better if the modders just worked this out with the devs directly.

It actually got added when 20.4 was released as experimental.
