Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Problems Getting a Basic Mod Working

Well, another couple hours down the tubes trying to get this to work. Ahh, the life of a nub modder!

Sniper, thank you SO much for your help. I really appreciate it. I've tried adding my replacement models as assets fifteen different ways (yes, I'm exaggerating) with no luck. The mod still shows up but when I get in the game I still turn into a damned bush. And again, for reference, if I manually stick the replacement models into Data\Public\Main\Assets\Effects\Effects_Models it works fine!

So here is what I did...starting from scratch. No other mods in existence, clean Data\Public folder and NO Data\Mods folder. Continuing from 5) above...

5) I add Demonata's files to my mod's folder such that the following contains the GR2 files:

%Game%\Data\Mods\My_Mod_blah_blah\Assets\Effects\Effects_Models\

6) I reopen the editor, load my module and open the Resource Manager

7) I duplicate the folders such that they match those under Main (I've tried both ways: Main\Assets\Effects\Source\Effects_Models AND Main\Assets\Effects\Effects_Models)

8) I add a package in the last folder (Effects_Models)

9) I add a resource and select the 4 replacement GR2 models

10) Everything looks good to go!

Start up the game, activate, I'm still a rock.

I'm thinking, I'm kind've hoping, that it's something super simple that I'm missing. Which of course makes all of this wasted time that much worse. Heh. But I just want this to WORK. I've got two other mods that are Drag'n'Drop (4CharacterCreation and Simply4Player) so I know the functionality is there.

What am I missing?

EDIT: Oh, and regarding my goal. Well, I just want drag'n'drop mods you know? I want a mod to disable sneaking graphics. I want a mod to fix the crafting errors. I want another mod to add some new weapons. And finally another mod to enable some additional crafting options. All of this stuff should be super easy to get into the game and activate. If you go to Mods in the game you can check/uncheck all the mods, assumedly so you can activate only the ones you want to use. Again unless I'm just missing something. :P

Thanks again for the help, Sniper!
