Table of Contents:

1. Patch Day 101

• [p]Everyone receives the new patch. See here to learn more about the content included in the free patch.[/p][/*]
• [p]Because new features and code changes are introduced into the base game, mod creators may have to implement their code in a new or different way.[/p][/*]
• [p]Many mod creators have been given early access and have been able to work on their mods ahead of time, but these might not update immediately.[/p][/*]
• [p]Please be patient. Everyone has a personal life and might be unable to update a game mod immediately at launch. Do not bug creators to update their mod.[/p][/*]
• [p]If you want to play the Vanilla game while you wait for mods to be patched but don't want to unsubscribe from your Workshop items, you can temporarily add --noWorkshop to the game's Steam launch options to disable all mods and custom assets.[/p][/*]
• [p]However, remember that some save files will not load if some critical mods and assets aren't enabled; in this case, you will need to wait. [/p][/*]

2. Back up your save files

• [p]Make a backup of your most recent save file by copying it to your desktop so that you don’t accidentally overwrite it. Once your required mods have been patched, copy this file back to the previous folder, and you should be able to load it safely. Save file locations are listed below: [/p][/*]

3. In-game warnings about compatibility

• [p]The November 2022 Free Update introduced a pop-up and an icon to the in-game content manager stating whether or not a mod was made for the current version of the game.[/p][/*]
• [p]The icon is advisory in nature; it just means that the mod you're using has been packaged up using the previous version of the game.[/p][/*]
• [p]Because the game can't do automated testing against mods with unknown code, it just looks for and compares version numbers and adds the icon, just in case.[/p][/*]
• [p]Many mods might work with the update, even though the icon may show it was made for a previous version.[/p][/*]

4. Dealing with broken mods

• [p]If you use a mod that you know to be broken, UNSUBSCRIBE FROM IT.[/p][p][/p][/*]
• [p]If you use two mods that are similar or different versions of the same mod, PICK ONE, TYPICALLY THE MOST RECENTLY UPDATED ONE. Check the description of the mod on the Steam Workshop for information about compatibility.[/p][p][/p][/*]
• [p]Disabling mods in Content Manager is not the same as unsubscribing from them. Disabled mods might still run code, and if they're incompatible with other mods, old, or broken, they can still cause issues. Always unsubscribe from mods instead of simply disabling them.[/p][/*]
