How to install content packs manually - Catman-232/Homebrewery GitHub Wiki

This doesn't apply to you if you use Thunderstore Mod Manager/R2Modman!

If you've downloaded a pack from Thunderstore, the zip file will be named something like "Author-ModName-1.0.0", that version number on the end there is a bit of a pain since when r2Modman installs a mod, it will not keep that version number in the folder's name.

In order for you to see the items that other people (who are most likely to be r2Modman users) have equipped, you need the mod folder name to match, so manual install users NEED to edit the folder name to remove the version number when you install mods.

Here's my manual install method BepInEx > plugins folder for reference, I have had to remove the version number from all the content pack folder names.

For comparison, this is my r2Modman profile's BepInEx > plugins folder, this is how r2Modman named them, I have not changed anything in here myself.

I don't have them 100% the same way but I barely play the game enough to have tidied it up just yet.

Also, you don't need to move loose items into HB's HomebreweryFiles anymore, you can leave the content pack as it is!
