How To Mod Conan Exiles For Beginners

so you're looking to get into modding cone exiles but you don't know where to start honestly even just searching for mods when you're first starting can be a really overwhelming task there are loads of mods out there some are good some are bad and some are definitely ugly today i'll be giving you a quick beginner's guide on how to get started with modding conan exiles along with some tips that should help you to get over the initial technical growing pains so without further ado let's get started the great part about modding conan exiles is that it's actually fairly easy rather than struggling to work out how to use a mod launcher or searching endlessly through your game files conan has steam workshop integration making that first step into modding extremely easy when you're on steam simply navigate to the conan exiles page in your game library click workshop and you're ready to start browsing the real issue here is where to start there are tons of mods out there but not all of them are worth downloading for every good mod there's another that isn't sufficiently developed isn't of the best quality or just simply won't work my first step when i got into modding was to navigate to the most popular and most subscribed sections mods in these sections are generally quite reliable and they'll usually work quite well and they'll be a fairly good quality you can also find good mods on the recent section however recent seems to be a lot more hit and miss now to start off with i would only advise maybe getting one or two mods now for me i usually run about 15 or 16 at a time however i've been using mods for a quite a long time now and it's very easy to get overwhelmed by the new additions if you're not familiar with modding i would definitely advise reading through the descriptions of any mods you're interested in before installing them it can give you a much better indicator of what the mod in question adds to the game to add them you simply select the mod you want to use in this case we'll choose ag architecture and just click subscribe to download the mod before we look how to activate the mod there is something to bear in mind whilst many of these mods have been carefully developed to work on their own and with other mods some of them simply cannot and will not work with others if a mod is attempting to modify remove or utilize the same assets that another mod is using or trying to use that's where you're going to run in some issues for example a mod that attempts to reskin base game armors will likely conflict with another mod that attempts to rebalance the stats of those armors as they're both trying to augment the same items the same is true if you're trying to run two map mods that both change the same area now in my experience these conflicts are rare but they are very much a possibility fortunately a lot of the more popular mods on the workshop have a lot of flexibility with other mods so you'll hopefully not run into too many issues so once we subscribe to and downloaded that mod we now need to boot up conan when you start it up you'll of course see the funcom launcher that you usually see on pc and this is where we select the mod we want to use by navigating to the mods panel now i've deselected all my mods and if you're just starting your list won't be nowhere near as long as mine but whatever mods you've subscribed to and downloaded will be in the left side panel whereas the right side panel is your active mods to activate a mod simply find it on the left side list double click and it'll move into the active tab then we simply launch the game and we're ready to go so now we're in game and we are ready to start using the mod now especially if you're new to it i would advise loading into single player first to test out the mod and familiarize yourself with what it adds when you load in activate admin mode and you can start to play around with the mod you've added in my case ag architecture adds building pieces one shield and some resources it's really good to know exactly what the mod adds and even to play around with it because you might decide you rather not use this mod that is just a personal decision but it is always best to know early many mods include a way to tell in the asset menu which mod adds which item for example with ag architecture you can see that all of the items it's added are highlighted with a golden circle all the items you've mutted in will always be at the bottom of your respective item list as well this indicator is different across various mods however some mods do not include an indicator this is why i recommend jumping into mods slowly and steadily to familiarize yourself with the mods you want to use and what they add also do bear in mind that you do need to be careful with your mods when conan gets a title update most mods will just break for a little while it's just how mods work it's not specifically a current thing it's a modding thing in general you'll have to deselect all of your mods so that you can play the game properly and simply just wait for them to update the longest ever taken me is about a week or so i think however in the meantime avoid any fully modded structures that you've built if you've constructed something entirely out of modded assets for example if i'd made a massive castle out of the granite set from ag architecture and then i loaded it with no mods the build would simply collapse the same isn't true for example if you've built something in margossian or aquilonian and you happen to have decorated in modded style but because the building pieces that you've used to build that modded build aren't in the game anymore it will simply instantly lose stability and of course collapse unfortunately that's just how the cookie crumbles with updates and mod compatibility so if you know you're going to log into conan right next to a lovely modded build maybe wait until your mods have been updated so you don't lose all your hard work and there we have it a beginner's guide to modding conan exiles hopefully with this short guide and some of the tips i've given you're ready to try out your new mods and open up a whole
