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.

You don't need to move anything out of the content pack's folder, you can leave it as it is!

A fancier way to install packs is through the ContentPacks folder that Homebrewery comes with. You do still need to remove the version number. Depending on where you installed it's either in
ATLYSS\BepInEx\plugins\Catman232-Homebrewery/config/ContentPacks (when manually installed)
OR
ATLYSS\BepInEx\config\ContentPacks (When installed via mod manager)

This folder works the same way for both install methods, it's convenient if you want your plugins folder to be spared from a few hundred content pack folders. It's especially convenient for mod manager users since this lets you load and test a content pack while you are making it, while ensuring it is still set up the right way for when you upload it to Thunderstore, which is by far the biggest issue people have had!
