PC gaming? Sorta new to it. So Kinda Lost

Vast majority of active mods have long ago been updated.

Dudes Delightful Decorations? They’re fine.

Also fine.

Based on what I know caused mods to break with 2.7, I don’t see why Exile Architect would have been broken with 2.7. There are usually a lot of comments in the comment section when a mod breaks too, and their workshop page is mostly silent.

My advice? Be less eager to jump on the “mod is broken” assumptions, especially when you are just starting out.

Emberlight

Don’t use Nexus Mods for Conan.

Use one of several mods for body editing that isn’t overhauling the actual mesh? Fashionist has a character editor, Pippi has a character editor, Improved Quality of Life has a character editor.

The downside to downloading body morph mods is that 90% of armors won’t work with them, so I see no reason to do so. Just use the mods with extensive character edits.

Narelle gave you advice on that.

Don’t see any mod called “Dark Forest” but if you mean the total conversion mods, those are hardly “simple.” Not in terms of their back end work and maintenance. My advice if you are trying to turn the Exile Lands into a forest, use mods by Kyeri as Kyeri is a reliable mod creator.

Define “light source mods.”

The few that do don’t update their mods anymore. Pythagoras Support Beams that Dan talks about doesn’t “alter stability.” They are literally a pillar, except horizontal. There’s a reason why I haven’t needed to update PSB for a long while now.

I’m not sure what to make of your post here, but there’s a lot of false assumptions and clear indications of your lack of understanding of how mods work. Which is fine, you’re new to modding. Lesson #1 is, don’t be so quick to jump on “mod is broken,” we mod creators get that often enough from people who didn’t properly test our stuff. Lesson #2, ask questions, the more specific the better, if you are looking for something in particular. More then likely there is a mod for what you are looking for, so don’t be so quick to give up.

Both Dude’s mods should be working with 2.7. They were updated a day or so after 2.7 hit. At least they’re working on the server I’m playing on.

If this was the one with the bracelet light, it may have broken a while ago. Like when Siptah released, or even before.

Gotcha covered: Immersive Armors - Google Sheets

If you do decide on a new map. Savage Wilds is really good. Its like Exiled Lands 2.0 but with many (non-annoying) Siptah stuff in it.

If you do decide to go with one of those ‘big’ content mods. The ones that add like a crazy amount of stuff. I recommend one at a time. Those are mods like Emberlight, Age of Calamitous, Savage Steel, Immerse RP, Warrior Mutator, and Thrall Wars. At least until you get your bearings.

Some people try to do all of them at once and then drive the mod authors’ crazy asking questions about what goes to what lol.

Also many mods have discords that are troves of information.

I believe they mean stuff that acts as a light source without having to use a hand for a torch.

I didn’t mention this one as Broken, I’ve only test run few of tree mods, Dude Decos (which ccrashed game on start up. I’ll check Dude #2 when i get a chance.

Few of others, Top comments are “you ever gonna update this” “crashes game” Comments are back from Aug/Sept. Safe to assume its likely dead, still lingering as “top choice” do to amount of downloads.

If it Crashes CE on start up as only Mod installed. /shrugs.
Steam doesnt really hand out errors like Vortex does for nexus mods. Hard to tell.

I’m looking for a new Mesh… So far, they seem to cater to big A an T’s. Its always hard to tell by lack of screen shots on Steam. Or…the lack of any screen shots.

hard to Bing/google them with out, just getting 99% ■■■■ hits for xvideos and old sexiles vids. XD

As For Nexus…I’m Familer with website, and getting responses to questions. (Same as LoversLab)
Steam… I do not think I have ever gotten a reply to comment. (I’m aware its were 95% of all mods are upload)

I’m new to Steam Modding page, Which is Only been used for Ark. I’ve used Nexus since Morrowind.
Hence why I’m going thru each Mod one by one, to ensure its working.

If Dudes Deco is working for several of you, Then i need try the other one, or redownload it.

Most of us veteran mod creators wisely turned off Steam comments all together, that’s why we have Discords. After years of abuse on Steam I finally shut my comments off entirely. Not going to reverse that, best decision I ever made for myself. I would sooner delete all my mods then re-enable Steam comments.

Ya, its a website that says that mod creators own mods don’t belong to the mod creators, but Nexus will gladly gain the profits from it. I cancelled my plans to upload there for that reason. 0 reason to upload to Nexus, you can even download mods from Steam without owning the game on Steam. If you insist on getting mods from only Nexus well, can’t help you there.

There is no way we are talking about the same mods, only thing I can think of. Dudes Delightful Decoration mods are fine. Maybe you mean Deco FTW? Because ya, that’s long ago been broken and abandoned. I don’t see anything related to “Dude” in that name, but only thing I can think of.

Conan generates a log in the install folder. It’s not easy to read, not at first, but you can diagnose a lot of problems from it. Just don’t turn into one of those people who sees an unrelated vanilla error that in itself is harmless and go “sEe mOd bAd” (I’ve heard it all at this point).

Why? You are intentionally limiting yourself on the number of armors you can use by like, 95% (and that’s not even including modded armor). I mean if that’s what you want to do then go for it, just so you understand that changing the body like that is going to make it so the vast majority of armors don’t work.

To be fair, a simple trial and error process is a good first step in troubleshooting mod problems. The fact you are even doing that should be (sadly) applauded. I could easily afford 3 new computers if I was paid $5 for every time somebody reported a “mod bug” but didn’t even do a tiny bit of self troubleshooting.

I just have been doing this a long time, so I know Dudes Delightful Decoration mods are fine without having to do anything.

@Sera67 I will list my favourite mods which work well with the base game, all maintained and available on steam (do not use nexus):

Pippi - this is a must have mod for me, too many good tools and features: admin panel, thespians, bench scaling to name a few.

Less Building Placement Restrictions - once you try this mod, you won’t be able to play without it - overlaps, easier placement, less building restrictions.

Unlock Plus (with Pickup) - The resource management feature is such a QoL improvement. Ability to pickup everything including wheels of pain and altars.

Stacksize + - A Very simple mod to increase stacksize

Fashionist - Vanity slots + customisation including the ability to change the appearance of your crafting thralls.

Better Thralls - Additional followers, your thralls are able to drag thralls as well, ability for the thrall to use a truncheon when you use a truncheon, soon ability to change perks.

Other base game friendly mods that I enjoy using:

  • Immersive Armor + Accessory Wardrobe
  • Northern Timber, Sand and Stone
  • Emberlight - plants, trees, QoL features e.g Improved Artisan Table (all tables in one), no more hairy armpits.
  • SVS - decorations
  • Paragon - level up to 300 when paired with other content mods

There are many other good ones.

Not trying to… Just trying find one I like…but
Lack of proper screen shots for body mods… SUCKS. Wounder body Looked good. But had 2 requirement mods, One was re-placer of defaults. (so they showed more skin… which I don’t have interest in) I’m not looking for a sex mod exile lands… Why wear armor that covers chest, but has breast out in open. 0_o’

I’m ether gonna stay default (which is 100% fine) PC version is slightly better then ps4 body. (aka arm pit hair looks like a shadow on ps4)

Any improvement would be nice… Most of screen caps are big tiddies… I got no interest. Its Hard to find one that will make me happy. Then on top find one that has good looking armor I’ll actually use and Doesn’t clip. (And doesnt spawn on npc’s…(I don’t mind, clipping issues etc, or another person vision is not my own of how world should look)

I get that certain armor will not work with another body mod. (Body Morphing ruined Fallout and Skyrim, since you had to learn a program and do it yourself for your body mesh) I still can’t figure some of that out.
Outfit Studio drove me insane… rarely could follow YT videos on turn 3BA’s into TB, or CBBE into others etc…
Which sucked over-all, Cause alot of outfits were 3BA only, (mega ass and tiddies) And were such pain to shrink back to normal human.

Not trying limit myself…just something that looks better then ps4, and doesn’t replace default armors.
At same time, Just wanna remove the insert alot of swear words Turbans and Aprons Crafting thralls have.
Which sounds Like i get 3 choices, which all use Acc Mod linked to Shift+i

Improved Quality of Life might be something to check. They have quite a few sliders to work with. They also have a minimap (which you can turn off).

EDIT: I don’t use the mod myself and in the past (a year ago if not more), the server I was playing on removed the mod while waiting for an update after a big patch which resulted in us losing all thralls modified with it. Not sure if this is still the case as now the mod is maintained by the Emberlight team. This is not to say that the mod is bad but rather that it is not as easy to remove mods as it is to add them. Rule no. 1 when playing modded is always do a backup before patching the base game as mods may need an update and it is easier to troubleshoot while knowing that if you need to, you can restore from a backup.

I also recommend using IQOL. You can tweak your body in similar ways as the body mesh mods do… but because of how IQOL does it, its usable with 100% of mods.

If you go crazy with it, you might see some clipping here and there.

Its a shame they removed it. Those thralls did eventually reappear when the mod was finally fixed, and that issue never returned (the fix they did made it so that wouldn’t happen again).

Thanks for the info. It is definitely a popular mod and even better now that Whiskey and Dr. Nash are taking care of it.
