Installing Steam Workshop Mods

This game plugin is designed to work with mods from the Nexus. If you're installing mods from Steam Workshop, there's a little extra effort required to make things work. A Steam Workshop mod typically ends up in DarkestDungeon\mods\123_xyz where 123_xyz is the workshop ID and mod name. If you install the same file in MO2, it's gonna end up just spewing everything in DarkestDungeon. If you're lucky, it works. If you're not lucky, you break the game.

Directions!

  1. Download the mod from the Steam Workshop.
  2. Install the mod with MO2. The quick install window will probably come up so give it a name and hit install. Note: This mod name will only be seen in MO2 and won't be seen in game.
  3. Right-click the new mod and open in explorer.
  4. In this folder, create a folder named mods.
  5. In the mods folder, create a folder named the same thing as the zip file (that 123_xyz thing).
  6. Just to be clear, that means you're probably gonna end up with something like \mods\Mod Name\mods\123_xyz.
  7. Select all the files from two folders up, Ctrl-X to cut, go back down to this 123_xyz folder, and Ctrl-V to paste.
  8. Hit F5 in MO2 to refresh.
  9. Right-click the mod in MO2 and ignore missing data.
  10. Enable the mod with the checkmark as usual.
  11. Go play or whatever. Remember to enable the mod in game!
