Mod Detection Bug

[Shaded Echo]

So I got into learning how to mod Kenshi today, and after making a mod following the main tutorial listed in the modding section of the forums, Kenshi won't use it. I put the mod in the mods.cfg list and all, didn't work, I even tried making a secondary mod that did nothing but add a random duplicated ale item, didn't work.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I could use some help, thanks!

hm well the mod file needs to be in the data folder and you must write the name in the mods.cfg
like this vurt.mod then it should work.
if that doesnt work could you upload your mod file maybe they doent workn right

I'll make another demo sample mod that changes a few random things, and upload it here! Thank you for the reply, I really want to get into modding .

EDIT: Here it is, it's a very simple and quickly made mod that's supposed to change citizen names and give them swords, didn't work in the new update either, any help would be much appreciated, Thanks!

i think you used the wrong character
in this mod i changed the citizen character i set named true and gave him a weapon
the problem with your version is that you made a new charcter that didnt have a spawn point
you would have to asign him to a division in your case to set him as the leader of Civilian solo
EDIT: ok i didnt see that you actualy did that
ok try if it works when you start a new game and set named true

remember mods won't work in the demo version

remember mods won't work in the demo version

I bought and have the full game, and I'm not sure if this is relevant to the mod bug I have, but when I try to launch Kenshi from it's main program folder application it says "Failed to launch wyUpdate", yet when I launch the game normally from a shortcut, it's completely fine.

It's not just named npcs either that don't work, it's any mods I make, should I re-install Kenshi?
