You're on such a HOT ROLL with how well you're developing content and you've maintained a very humble level head about it all. You're definitely the King of 7D2D Content these past few months! Please keep this going where I hope your girlfriend and loved ones are in support of your very busy schedule... WE LOVE IT!
A while back you mentioned showing us an inventory broadcast Mod. I got to the end of this thinking you wern't gonna show it here and man there it was. I love you man. You just made Darkness Falls 1000% better.
Thanks for the video! I appreciate that you showed both manual and mod launcher, as some people may want to use either method. The goal of the mod launcher is to make the mods more accessible, regardless of how they get installed.
Excellent video as always. I've always installed mods manually, so it's good to see there are some easy alternatives. Turns out you can teach an old zombie dog new tricks.
This video majorly helped me. I didn't expect the mods to be so simple to install. I have a feeling that now that I play with the trader always open I'll never want to go back lol
Thanks for showing us SCore I'm not ngetested in Undead Legacy, considering how much more grinding there is. But I am super interested in the broadcast setting!
There really isn't that much grinding in UL. Sure, you have to mine more than in vanilla, but it's not as crazy as people make it. Also you can simply increase block damage to 300% which speeds up mining significantly.
@@marie-eagle Definitely give it a go. It is a challege, but doesn't change as many features as a mod like Darkness Falls does. So it could be a good start. The dev is planning on a lot of changes in Alpha 21.
@@redstonedad6434 I honestly think it would better in Alpha 21 for GNS to do that. There is so much coming in A21, and content creators like "bling". The more bling the better. So with the additional bling in A21 for Apocalypse Now, I think it would be a good time for a series.
Gosh tem for not having gone to school for it you sure are savvy at navigating and moving files. Great job putting this out for us lay-people in terms we can understand. I greatly appreciate you and wish you the very best with the channel.
I love the idea of having the storage broadcast mod for crafting. It makes it so much easier and one of my favourite things about watching the Undead Legacy mod. Thank you for the video Temreki.
This is great. S core looks like the exact mod I've been looking for. Configurable overhaul mod.. I'd also be interested to see a similar video on mod creation. I know you made a zombie spawner mod and I'd be interested in seeing how that process went.
Love it! I always wondered what ModLauncher looked like but never had a need to use it since I manually handled all my mods. Very nicely put! Also, are we getting hints at future projects? Would love to see a GNS run through ApocNow!
I'm giving heavy consideration for AN but for now I need a break from big overhaul mods. So just light mods on the next series. 30-35 planned episodes. And we'll see where A21 development is when it's over 🙂
@@GunsNerdsandSteel makes sense! You just did DF and UL back to back, time to unwind for a bit! There's some big changes to AN coming with A21, so it may be best to wait and let those updates come down the line first. AN will be a completely new beast with A21!
Really happy u did this!! just recently came over to pc just for 7dtd and watched all of ur vids on War of the walkers and wanted to try it but couldnt figure it out till i came across this video to help! thank you for vids and support!!!
Hi, I want to thank you. I was having problems making the mod The Wasteland to work. Your explanation how to do install a mod manually was perfect as this mod overhaul is not in the modlauncher. So again thank you.
I just make my own modlets when we play vanilla no overhaul, but for UL or DF we play it as is. And yes the people seem to be asking if its ApocalypseNow coming up next ! I hope so too xD
Very well done production with lots of useful information. Timely as well since I'm thinking of installing an overhaul mod and wanted to keep it separate from my default vanilla game. Great job!!
The mod launcher have changed a lot and it doesn't looks like this anymore.. I feel like an new tutorial is needed. or at least an updated one. still do like your way of explaining make it easy to understand
What needs to happen is the video uploader needs to rename the video title/description to say that Mod Launcher has changed and that the video is no longer applicable to the new version. Doubt they will do that lol.
This is the 3rd video I had to watch. Thank you for explaining so clearly.. But I have noticed a lot of my Not knowing, turns into overthinking... Just remember to take a breath when trying to keep up with long video tuts. :)) Great Video. Didnt have to watch more than once!!!!
Dude thank you for this! I've been wanting to tweak the S core stuff in the Romero mod and had no idea how to do it until now. Question though... Mine doesn't have the code in there for broadcasting containers. Can I just find that somewhere else and copy it back in to make it work?
well, giving this a try. got the launcher running, loaded up the undead legacy, added a couple modlets...and now I've been waiting for it to build and launch the world...for at least five minutes...oh! it just launched! hooray! first launch is always soooo long...
The fire concept is good? ...but it feels like it NEEDS ways to extinguish the fire. Maybe some feature to allow you to throw bottles of water at it, or toss buckets of water to put out the flames.
amazing work! phew before this i was loosing my marbles trying to figure out what i was doing wrong with mods. im attempting your tutorial right now. SUBBED n LIKED!
Now its getting really creepy. Today i tried to install a mod and struggled. I gave up and half an hour later your video popped up "how to install mods" O.o Great video as always... but excuse me, i really need to search my appartment for cameras 🤣
word of warning to all: i went into the mod launcher to try out some modlets and when i went back into my UL save my character was completely reset so i lost all my levels and items but the game was still at day 65 and the map was still as i left it....back up your saves before messing with mods
Adding and removing modlets can be tricky on existing saves. Use caution! However, if you use the ModLauncher, you'll find backups under your default folder's Saves... ie, C:\7D2D\Saves\. There's no auto-restore yet though.
For most mods you don't have to make a shortcut. I personally never used one and it always started with the included mods. Darkness Falls and Undead Legacy at least work perfectly fine with starting in Steam if you put it in the original folder. And if you want to change the mod just rename the folder.
I have been lost as to how to do any of this because there was no workshop link on the steam page. this helped so much thank you. now if you will excuse me I need to go talk to Ellen about this so called legacy.😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much that really helped I am trying to download Darkness Falls and I think the problem was I put mods instead of Mods so will try and see if that fixes it.
I think this tutorial will be one of your slow burn videos. I can see it in the millions. Since you started DF, I tried tinkering with mods. The videos I've seen have some combination of rambling, poor production, or the explanation requires one to watch another video to fill in the gaps. Very well done, friend. Even an idiot like me finally managed to get UL and Apoc to finally work.
does this affect multiplayer in any negative way? will my friends be able to join and play alongside with all the mods or do they need to do something?
Great video! I'll admit I didn't understand a lot about the manual installation but that's because I am a computer idiot lol Only bought a computer to play 7d2d. I do understand the mod launcher at least, thankfully!
Brand new to modding, going to add the fire mod... Where is a mod for a fire extingisher so the base I build wont burn to the ground. Thanks in advance!!!!
Haha, shame, I wonder how many actually purchase WinRAR. The number of times I see that free trial period has ended, sometimes makes me want to buy it. 😁
I don't think it's viable anymore to simply put an unzipped mod folder into "Mods". I think the contents of the unzipped mod folder have to be put into "Mods". I could be wrong.
While I knew about overhauls, I didn't know about this program. So this video was definitely informative. But I'm just looking for the correct way to install mods, not overhauls. Like what we call addons in WoW. I thought they were called mods in 7D2D. Apparently I'm doing it wrong because I can't get most of them to work. Even paying for premium Vortex and trying to let it do the work for me.
Glad you said nexus, I didn't want to install another mod loader, I like using vortex mod loader, love it's automatic load order and fix feature plus I can mod several games from it, lol got 4 different games so far guess 7days will be the 5th.
This is nice !! Now I wonder, you can't play a world with mods with your friends? Because you said you had the vanilla intact to go back and play multiplayer. Is it possible to, lets say, 5 people install the same mods and play together?
well dang I did everything you said I even unloaded the game and reloaded to basic but Darkness Falls will not load. the game launcher did load as V5 instead of V3 like yours but all others followed and this dang game just hates me...
Make a copy of your game and re-name the copy to something like 7D2D-DarknessFalls. Create a "Mods" folder and stick in the game directory. Put the Darkness Falls mod CONTENTS (not the unzipped folder) in the Mods folder. Open the game by double-clicking on the 7DaysToDie.exe file that's in the newly created copy of the game, NOT the 7DaysToDie_EAC.exe that's in there. That should open the modded game. I hope that helps!
I would LOVE to find a 7DTD mod that focused more on a regular post-apocalypse instead of a "zombie" apocalypse. Sure, there can be zombies (or not, if you turn off zombie spawning), but I'd like to see roving packs of wild animals. Maybe, the blood moon can drive them crazy. Yes, there could feasibly be random survivors, but I'd like to see survivors you could ally with and form a community with. Then, there is the Duke we hear nothing about. What role does he play over the traders? What if the traders were in a tough spot and got overrun? Would he save them or leave them to fend for themselves? What if he decided he just didn't need them anymore? So far, the Duke seems like a mafia figure that extorts people under threat of consequences if they don't comply, which is what happened to the main character at the very beginning. What if the traders needed rescuing? There could be a quest for that. Afterward, we could help repair and fortify their compound while taking war to the Duke. I don't know about you, but I would love to rescue Jen. If inclined, the mod writer could make her 'grateful'...at least enough to make her stop promising to kiss you and actually do it. Personally, I'd want the option of a mobile base like a vehicle that you can modify with crafting station upgrades and storage/turret mods. Where can I find a mod like that?
Quick question if you have time~ I fairly recently started playing this game and I’m hooked. Is there a way to repair scrap/metal armor that you wear. I noticed repair kits don’t work on it.
I tried this after playing 7dtd a while and watching your videos. Made a copy of the game like you said. Downloaded a few of the minor quality of life mods from your other video into my recent game. The game crashed because of the item stack mod, after deleting them out of the folder again, my whole character and progress had reset.... my inventory, level skillpoints etc.. while al the inventory outside of my character did stay the same. But after already played 70 hours this is pretty f*cked. Deleted the copy and opened the master safe with steam, ITS THE SAME..... PLEASE IF SOMEBODY KNOWS HOW I CAN FIX THIS AND MAYBE GO BACK A FEW SAVES OR SOMETHING??? help is muchhhh appreciated
I currently don't know the solution to your problem, but resolving mod conflicts (is that is what is going on for you?) is out of the scope of this video.
Why is Darkness falls on the Mod Launcher if he doesn't want people to install it from there? surely if he asked to get it removed he can, it only took me 5 minutes to get in contact with the mod launcher creator.
@@thomastheisman1751 well he must get it removed off the launcher then it will save him time going around and being rude to creators like myself after posting a video on the launcher.
Weird, my DF worked fine from mod launcher in A20 (it's not up yet for A21). I always thought creators had to add their mods to ML, just from how Khaine and Ramsey have talked about when their mids will be on it.
he explains it well but man im still very confused on how to do this all cause i did download some mods but when i load it im getting nothing but red errors super frustrating
Modlauncher is kind of a mess. Doesn´t work for 3 out of 5 people for us. Manual install is the best. I even prefer manual over steam workshop. Conan Exiles is the best example for that. Btw, how about conan exiles for your channel? Vanilla first then with Age of Calamitous and/or EEWA that would be a ton of content. Regarding Score, that´s a problem with many mods for all games. They simply exist and there is no or just a very vague description of it. I am pretty sure i missed out on a ton of good mods just because i couldn´t find out what they actually do unless i install them and try it for myself.
Yeah Manual install is BEST, but there are sooooo many people who are not savie with a computer that 'easy' internet programs are the ONLY thing they can handle. 😑 Give me manual install every time!!
Feel free to join my Discord for some help in sorting out the issue. The mod launcher is used by thousands successfully. By helping people, it gives me an opportunity to help fix issues.
@@SphereII Well, i am a fan of less is more when it comes to my PC. Clean and tidy. So if it isn´t something that is absolutly mandatry, i will avoid it. Less things installed means less things can go wrong and it´s one thing less that needs attention when troubleshooting. It took me a good amount of time to convince the others to do it manually. But if i have some spare time, i might join in for trouble shooting.
@@stephanstangl5573 One of the requirements for being hosted in the mod launcher is that its available for manual downloads. The mod launcher isn't designed for people who want control, flexibility, or advanced users. It's just another level of accessibility for users who want more than vanilla, but don't know how. With regards to the SCore, it's not intended to be used by a casual player directly. It's a library of features that overhaulers can use, who may not know how to code them, or don't have time to code them. For example, with food spoilage, several overhauls wanted it, so I wrote a core feature. Now multiple overhaulers can concentrate their time on balance and bling, rather than just trying to get some kind of feature written from scratch.
People will need to start using the %APPDATA% Mod folder as it will become the default Mod folder location. Something, something required, something, something, Microsoft Store. That said, you can create symbolic links in Windows using the `mklink` command. If you use that, your Mod folder can live anywhere and you can use `mklink` to create a link so that the game knows where to look. If you know linux, its the windows version of `ln`. For those who want to do things on their own, you can write powershell and batch script using the mklink command and have a whole bunch of overhauls and modlets available with surprisingly little tomfoolery once confiugured. EVERYONE INSTALLING MODS MANUALLY - MAKE A COPY AND MOD THAT COPY OR THE ORIGINAL. IF YOU HAVE THE SPACE, ALWAYS LEAVE YOURSELF AN UNTOUCHED COPY OF VANILLA. Also, Sphereii has an %APPDATA% compliant version of the mod launcher, V4. And SCore is awesome.
for some reason the website for the mod launcher wont open for me :( but great content!! (nevermind i figured it out!!) lol how do you add the mod for storage broadcasting?
I'm fairly new to 7 Days to Die, but I love modding (I've used it a lot in Fallout and Skyrim). I am wondering this (and maybe you or one of your nice viewers can answer it)...if I want a mod in my play through and it's my game, do my friends have to have the same mod downloaded on their systems in order to use the mod I have in my world? Thank you all in advance for any answers. I appreciate it so much.
The modlets section is broken, I'm clicking install but it gives me a quick window before instantly closing again without actually doing the instillation. I've even tried other mods I wouldn't normally use and it give the same reaction to each modlet
How do mods affect multiplayer if the other players don't use the same (or any) mods? For instance I play with friends by just starting a game and inviting friends into it. Would me having a texture improvement or UI over haul or whatever mods 'mess' with how my friends play?

So far, the Duke seems like a mafia figure that extorts people under threat of consequences if they don't comply, which is what happened to the main character at the very beginning. What if the traders needed rescuing? There could be a quest for that.
Afterward, we could help repair and fortify their compound while taking war to the Duke. I don't know about you, but I would love to rescue Jen. If inclined, the mod writer could make her 'grateful'...at least enough to make her stop promising to kiss you and actually do it. Personally, I'd want the option of a mobile base like a vehicle that you can modify with crafting station upgrades and storage/turret mods. Where can I find a mod like that?
Check out Rebirth Mod
Quick question if you have time~ I fairly recently started playing this game and I’m hooked. Is there a way to repair scrap/metal armor that you wear. I noticed repair kits don’t work on it.
i believe all you need is raw iron in your inventory to repair scrap armor.
I tried this after playing 7dtd a while and watching your videos. Made a copy of the game like you said. Downloaded a few of the minor quality of life mods from your other video into my recent game. The game crashed because of the item stack mod, after deleting them out of the folder again, my whole character and progress had reset.... my inventory, level skillpoints etc.. while al the inventory outside of my character did stay the same. But after already played 70 hours this is pretty f*cked. Deleted the copy and opened the master safe with steam, ITS THE SAME..... PLEASE IF SOMEBODY KNOWS HOW I CAN FIX THIS AND MAYBE GO BACK A FEW SAVES OR SOMETHING??? help is muchhhh appreciated
I currently don't know the solution to your problem, but resolving mod conflicts (is that is what is going on for you?) is out of the scope of this video.
7 days to die has 15GB. It hurts having to copy the whole folder 😬
For DF, Khaine recommends not using the Mod Launcher.
Why is Darkness falls on the Mod Launcher if he doesn't want people to install it from there? surely if he asked to get it removed he can, it only took me 5 minutes to get in contact with the mod launcher creator.
@@ReachGaming all I know is, every time someone mentions the launcher on the DF discord, the first response is don't use the launcher.
@@thomastheisman1751 well he must get it removed off the launcher then it will save him time going around and being rude to creators like myself after posting a video on the launcher.
Weird, my DF worked fine from mod launcher in A20 (it's not up yet for A21). I always thought creators had to add their mods to ML, just from how Khaine and Ramsey have talked about when their mids will be on it.
So then what do we use then?
he explains it well but man im still very confused on how to do this all cause i did download some mods but when i load it im getting nothing but red errors super frustrating
Modlauncher is kind of a mess. Doesn´t work for 3 out of 5 people for us. Manual install is the best. I even prefer manual over steam workshop. Conan Exiles is the best example for that. Btw, how about conan exiles for your channel? Vanilla first then with Age of Calamitous and/or EEWA that would be a ton of content. Regarding Score, that´s a problem with many mods for all games. They simply exist and there is no or just a very vague description of it. I am pretty sure i missed out on a ton of good mods just because i couldn´t find out what they actually do unless i install them and try it for myself.
Yeah Manual install is BEST, but there are sooooo many people who are not savie with a computer that 'easy' internet programs are the ONLY thing they can handle. 😑
Give me manual install every time!!
Feel free to join my Discord for some help in sorting out the issue. The mod launcher is used by thousands successfully. By helping people, it gives me an opportunity to help fix issues.
@@SphereII Well, i am a fan of less is more when it comes to my PC. Clean and tidy. So if it isn´t something that is absolutly mandatry, i will avoid it. Less things installed means less things can go wrong and it´s one thing less that needs attention when troubleshooting. It took me a good amount of time to convince the others to do it manually. But if i have some spare time, i might join in for trouble shooting.
@@stephanstangl5573 One of the requirements for being hosted in the mod launcher is that its available for manual downloads.
The mod launcher isn't designed for people who want control, flexibility, or advanced users. It's just another level of accessibility for users who want more than vanilla, but don't know how.
With regards to the SCore, it's not intended to be used by a casual player directly. It's a library of features that overhaulers can use, who may not know how to code them, or don't have time to code them. For example, with food spoilage, several overhauls wanted it, so I wrote a core feature. Now multiple overhaulers can concentrate their time on balance and bling, rather than just trying to get some kind of feature written from scratch.
I think my brain just melted.
People will need to start using the %APPDATA% Mod folder as it will become the default Mod folder location. Something, something required, something, something, Microsoft Store.
That said, you can create symbolic links in Windows using the `mklink` command. If you use that, your Mod folder can live anywhere and you can use `mklink` to create a link so that the game knows where to look. If you know linux, its the windows version of `ln`. For those who want to do things on their own, you can write powershell and batch script using the mklink command and have a whole bunch of overhauls and modlets available with surprisingly little tomfoolery once confiugured.
EVERYONE INSTALLING MODS MANUALLY - MAKE A COPY AND MOD THAT COPY OR THE ORIGINAL. IF YOU HAVE THE SPACE, ALWAYS LEAVE YOURSELF AN UNTOUCHED COPY OF VANILLA.
Also, Sphereii has an %APPDATA% compliant version of the mod launcher, V4. And SCore is awesome.
Excellent video!
for some reason the website for the mod launcher wont open for me :( but great content!! (nevermind i figured it out!!) lol how do you add the mod for storage broadcasting?
So, which mods are multiplayer friendly? Particularly overhaul mods? I'd like to get one of my friends to do one of those with me.
Thank you for a good guide!
Can i play with friends via copied game? or I should replace original (vanilla) game with DF then launch it via Steam?
I'm fairly new to 7 Days to Die, but I love modding (I've used it a lot in Fallout and Skyrim). I am wondering this (and maybe you or one of your nice viewers can answer it)...if I want a mod in my play through and it's my game, do my friends have to have the same mod downloaded on their systems in order to use the mod I have in my world? Thank you all in advance for any answers. I appreciate it so much.
In some cases, yes. In some cases, no. It's difficult to answer, but the safest bet is to have both users have the mod.
Thank you for this upload 👍
Got this mod, super easy to use
Ok stupid question. Can you do co-op using this mod launcher? I'd love to play some of these mod versions with my girlfriend as a team.
The modlets section is broken, I'm clicking install but it gives me a quick window before instantly closing again without actually doing the instillation. I've even tried other mods I wouldn't normally use and it give the same reaction to each modlet
I did all of this and there is no mods in my game at all…
just wondering why it says "not secure" in the search bar? liking the videos but why unsecure sites?
Love your vids but I'm still a bit lost on this one, I'm blaming me not your teaching.
I wish I'd had this before downloading mods. Now how do I go back to a vanilla experience if I tinkered with my Steam folder?
am i missing something or are there only like 30 mods to choose from with this method?
How do mods affect multiplayer if the other players don't use the same (or any) mods? For instance I play with friends by just starting a game and inviting friends into it. Would me having a texture improvement or UI over haul or whatever mods 'mess' with how my friends play?
