hey, im on mac and when i press that then double click and press "show package contents" i cant find any of those folders anywhere, can anyone help?

[@maciekgrelak745]

For me, Bepinex says it needs some vortex. Do I need to get it? Please help me out

[@Crimxsen]

Vortex is a modding manager, however if installing mods manually like I was doing in the video you don’t need it, so don’t worry about it unless you plan on installing mods with a mod manager

ive followed it step by step the natulus is showing but not the framework mod what do i do

[@Crimxsen]

I've actually been having issues with the framework mod recently with it not working and such so I'm not sure if it may be a glitch with the mod itself or if the problem is how you installed it, either way, your vehicle framework mod is in the plugins folder right?

[@Borgir_Gaming]

hang on, could you pls tell me what does the nautilus mod actully do? i mean.. do i put a random mod folder that does not have the same name as the zipped folder into it??

[@Crimxsen]

@@Borgir_Gaming Noonoo, Nautilus is a modding library and it and bepinex are essential for the majority of mods to function on nexus unless you find a legacy mod, and you install bepinex first, when you have the bepinex folder, drag it into the Subnautica folder, once it’s in there download nautilus and drag it into the bepinex folder then it should be working

​@@Crimxsenyeah like you at 4:26. You have everything there but I have only nautilus

[@Crimxsen]

@@bartoszgarstecki972 It depends on the mod you picked to download and test out, like some mods do show up in the small mod settings menu but other mods do not show up there but they still work unless you downloaded vehicle framework like I did?

[@bartoszgarstecki972]

@@Crimxsen I downloaded the beluga mod and in it (file) there was the vehicle and framework. I put it in the plugins and went to subnautica>settings>mods> and there was still only nautilus but you said some of them won't show so I started the game and there was no mods

[@Crimxsen]

@@bartoszgarstecki972 That’s probably where the issue is, you need to get the vehicle framework entirely separate(like when you click to download the beluga it should’ve popped up a list of required mods) , the vehicle framework that comes with the beluga is more of like an add on to the vehicle framework mod, but you need to download the whole vehicle framework mod on its own because there are other files in the main vehicle framework mod that you need for custom vehicles to work and to get it to show up in the mod settings for configuration

I need help putting the nautilus plugins in the bepinex plugins 2:28

[@Crimxsen]

@@JeremiahMendoza-cf7hb What do you need help with specifically with this? (The more I know the easier I can help!) when you click on nautilus there will be a plugins folder inside and in that plug-ins folder will be the files for nautilus, bepinex has a plugins folder as that’s where the plugin mods for bepinex go, nautilus is one of those mods so you just need to copy the nautilus files from the nautilus folder into the bepinex plug-ins folder

[@ClipEmRox]

I’m having trouble actually using stuff, I downloaded mods and most of them didn’t work despite putting them into the correct folder. Then when I loaded in I noticed I couldn’t pick anything up or interact with anything. Please help?

[@Crimxsen]

@@ClipEmRox I’ve never heard of that glitch/bug before! I’ll try my best, recently I was installing legacy mods and my stuff was messing up as well like not showing up and what not so what I typically do instead of trying to troubleshoot piece by piece, I recommend you delete the mods like bepinex and everything and restart from the beginning and go piece by piece double checking everything to make sure it’s all in the right place and works, that’s usually what I do and it’s what I did last time to get my stuff working as sometimes there’s stuff that we miss accidentally that’s so minuscule that we don’t even know that we’re missing it lol, and remember this video only works for Subnautica 2.0 mods! I’m going to make a video on modding legacy subnautica as well

[@ClipEmRox]

@@Crimxsen as a matter of fact I actually figured it out, for some reason the mod that I was using for seaglide speed adjustment messed with all sorts of stuff in the game. Including being able to interact with things.

TY SO MUCH!

[@tgdaze9831]

So the mods that say they need Qmod manager wont work without using qmod? ive tried several mods that just donnt work when i manually put them in my files

[@Crimxsen]

@@tgdaze9831 Yes, so typically the mods that say they need Qmod are legacy mods meaning they only work for the version of Subnautica before 2.0 (the living large update) and the q mods manager isn’t updated for 2.0 so it doesn’t work on it, basically any mods that require qmods you have to downgrade your game to the previous version of Subnautica in order to use

[@gabrielsto1083]

THANK YOU!

[@jasepowell4312]

The mod thing isn’t showing up in the bottom of options I kinda watched your video a few times I don’t know I’m lost at this point I did everything you did

[@Crimxsen]

I helped another person in the comments with this! It took a bit but eventually figured it out so let’s start with the version of subnautica that you’re using, are you on Subnautica 2.0 or using legacy Subnautica as the stuff in this video only works with 2.0 subnautica

[@crim-jim6814]

What do you do if the mods folders allready have a plugins tab when you open it?

[@Crimxsen]

@@crim-jim6814 You can drag that plug-ins tab/folder to the plugins tab/folder in the bepinex plug-ins folder! Usually when mods have a plugins tab like that if you click on that plugins folder it’ll open to another folder with the mod inside so it’ll just automatically copy the mod to the plugins folder when you drag them in together

@@literal-CEO-of-stupld Are you trying to drag it while it’s still a zipped folder or unzipped? The file website I think your talking about is Nexus Mods

[@literal-CEO-of-stupld]

@ I did install them, it's the file searching that throws me off, you see the file at the bottom corner of the menu? I open that, I have to open 2 so I can manage files, I try to put the mod files I want into bepinex but it won't let me. That’s what I’m stuck with

[@Crimxsen]

@@literal-CEO-of-stupld Ohhh so you’re having trouble with dragging/moving files between two file explorer tabs then?

[@literal-CEO-of-stupld]

@ yea

[@Crimxsen]

@ So what I do is open the file area that I’m putting files into in one tab so in this case it’d be bepinex’s plugins folder and in the other tab I’ll have the file that I want to drag, all you do click and hold on that file to pick it up and once it’s moving around you drag it up to where your other tab is and after like a second the screen should change and it’ll switch tabs to the area you just hovered over, once you’re on that screen just drag the file out to the side so you don’t accidentally put it in another folder and it’ll copy straight to the folder you have open, additionally if that isn’t working you can click on the folder you want to copy and while highlighted do Ctrl+c to copy the file then click back to bepinex and do Ctrl+V to paste/copy that file into whatever folder you’ve clicked on, and lastly you can also go to the bepinex folder and right click on it and then hit pin to quick access and then it’ll pop up on the left hand side of file explorer as a small folder to make it easier to drag things directly into it as well if you want though not necessary

Hi friend. I tried installing some mods, but they didn't work, like more batteries. I use Nautilus, but I saw that it doesn't work with SMLHelper. Can you tell me if there is a version of SML that works with Nautilus?

[@Crimxsen]

There is not a version of SML that works with nautilus directly unfortunately, however you can still try to install SML helper and use it alongside nautilus to make some mods work as I have done it before although it can make things a little more buggy/gltichy

how can you turn off the mod or do you just have to delete it

[@Crimxsen]

Most mods you can simply delete and that's it! However, some mods do have you doing other stuff like reloading the game then deleting and such so just make sure you read the mod descriptions to make sure it doesn't say a specific way of uninstalling a mod before you delete it!

[@Macncheeseguy7]

Dose anyone who has downloaded a mod before know how old a mod has to be to be OK to download??

[@Crimxsen]

I would say it’s more so if a mod has reported bugs as well as how long it’s been since it was last updated! If there are many bugs surrounding a mod and it hasn’t been updated in a while then I would avoid it as the bugs will likely not be fixed and you’ll be playing with a broken mod but if a mod still works and is stable despite not being updated for some time I think it’s okay to be used as long as it doesn’t cause any issues for your game!

[@Crimxsen]

I am, not entirely sure? I would imagine so though as you should still have a folder with the subnautica files and such in it that you would be able to drag and drop the mod files into unless Epic Games doesn't have that? You should be able to however I'm not sure how to do it because I don't really use epic games, my apologies!

I did everything you did and I don't even get the mod option in the game settings. Love it if you could possibly help!

[@Crimxsen]

I'll try my best! If you aren't getting the mod option then it's likely something that went wrong with the nautilus and/or bepinex installation, I would delete all of those files and then reinstall again but remember bepinex goes into the subnautica folder and then bepinex goes inside of the bepinex folder, and let me know what happens after that!
