@Dreamphobic
To be honest, I can't exactly remember 100%. I'm pretty sure all you have to do is:
- delete the profile that you want to start over on
- then start a new game on that profile and launch it so that it loads into the tutorial stage (The New Road)
- Now exit the game completely, and re-copy over the correct custom profile in place of the one that you just deleted
- Remember too, just in case, the custom profiles are: 3, 4, 5, 6 but actually show up in-game as: Profiles 4, 5, 6, 7
- If the above process doesn't work, try clearing the cache like you said, if that doesn't work, then yes, you'll have to delete all the profiles and start over.

Also, my last expected update has gotten postponed due to an influx of new mods being released. I've been testing everything the past few days and should hopefully have the new update by this weekend, so I guess you'll have to start over anyways. If you want the update that is.

I have a random question, I downloaded everything properly and everything, and I downloaded the custom game modes and they worked, but I had a really really bad start so I deleted the soulsborne save and after making a new save and transferring the profiles again, it now crashes trying to launch it. Any fix for this or do I need to delete them all and redo the process for the custom saves? I'll try to empty out cache to see if that fixes it like Ant13co did.

In case anyone is wondering, I'm gonna try and push an update for the collection by tomorrow that will include all the new classes, bosses, etc. I still have some testing to do to make sure everything runs nice and smooth with no bugs or crashes, but I'm on it.

@ant13co
Sorry, I just got home and saw your messages. I'm glad you were able to fix the issue though, as I wouldn't have been able to help much since I've never ran into that problem before. I wouldn't have even thought to clear the Steam cache. Nice work and thanks for sharing the fix with everyone. Let me know if you run into anything else though, and I'll try to help where I can.

Was able to fix it after half an hour of messing around , for anyone else who might have a similar or same issue , for some reason even if i changed the settings , it would not work , until i did a download cache clear and full reset of steam

i hate to bother you but is there a mod list for the custom saves outside of the actual save , i cannot for some reason get the custom profiles to appear even following both the steps in the guide and the slightly different ones in this thread, for some reason nothing seems to be pulled by the game for the mods. i even attempted turning off steam cloud for the entire app not just dd and it still does not want to appear

All right everybody, I finally got all the links updated. Make sure to redownload the collection using Conexus so that everything is up to date and in proper order.

@Sarah
Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you appreciate the collection. If you need any help with anything, I'll do my best to assist.

Thanks for your hard work, you've put a lot of effort in this collection. I followed all steps and I'm thrilled to try it.

@everyone
I'm still creating the new presets, but I have to go do something really stupid and need to put this on hold until tomorrow. I promise though, they will be up and available no later then tomorrow. In the meantime, you should delete all mods and redownload the collection again with Conexus. I updated it yet again today, and you'll have to download it tomorrow anyways to use the presets, so you might as well do it now and save yourself some more time for gaming tomorrow.

@everyone
I am updating everything right now. It takes me a couple hours to set up the presets, but they'll be ready to rock in a little bit.

Uhhh... So what about them mod presets again? Figuring out the thing without them is tad problematic .

I'll have the presets up in a couple days. I have to fix some weirdness on my PC first which I'm in the process of doing now.

hi please update the links for the presets

@Yakucca
Oh crap, sorry about that. I even knew that AND had the original present when I tested the redux, but brainfarted when I updated the collection and removed the original. Thanks for help and nicely done catching that. I'll add it back right now and update the links.

Hey, seems you should not remove Knight of Cain in last update. Citation from rework:
This is a reimagining of the original mod by Rampart1028, thus, the original mod is required for this to function properly. (Load this above the original Knight of Cain).

@ฅ/ᐠ｡ᆽ｡ᐟ \
No problem at all and I'm glad you like the collection. I'm going to be updating the collection yet again tomorrow and will also update the custom saves link as well, so stay tuned if your interested.

Thanks for the update! I ended up fixing the filenames individually and everything ended up working out. You're the best! Great collection

Okay, I just updated the "Toxic Masculinity - Install Guide and Fixed Skins" link so everything is current and in sync with the collection itself. I will update the custom saves link in the next day or two. It takes a while and I don't have the time to do it tonight.

@...?
Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. I'm aware I need to update the files so everything is current, but I haven't been able to the past couple days. I will try to have everything fixed and updated by tomorrow. Sorry again, I was hoping no one would notice for a few days.

hello my friend, it appears that the conexus link listed in the installation document does not match the filenames of the current mod list to the filenames listed in your custom download zip (compact quest screen is 013 through conexus but 015 in your custom files download) is there a way to fix this?

Oh okay, I thought that's what you meant but wasn't sure. I truthfully use all of them or at least did before sharing them with everyone. My favorite build is probably "Parabellum" though because I really like the class mods in that build a lot.

I talked about you CUSTOM BUILDS/SAVES. For each save, you should use part of your collection, so i'm interested on what save/collection you now working.
BTW my black screen problem seems gone, so those both mods seems conflicting.

Okay let me know if that works, and if it doesn't try to show a screenshot of the problem you're having. Also, I'm not sure I understand your question completely, but I'm using this same collection and always have.

Yeah, you right, I using both those mods. Ill try disable one and see how things going.
BTW what collection you using? My bet is collection based on save for DD2..

I'm not exactly sure to be honest. It sounds like you may have activated both quest map mods "Compact Quest Screen" & "Quest Map Collection of New Dungeons" at the same time. Can you provide a screenshot of the issue so I can look into it further?

Thank you!
Maybe you can help me with your experience in mods.. When I created my mod list I used your mod collection as barebones. In overall I got working stable 440 mod list. Only 1 bug occurred few times - after I hit embark, I got black screen, but I can see maps objects tooltips on that black screen. But its not game breaking - need restart game to fix it.

@Yakucca
Yeah for sure, I'll start doing that from now on. Here's what was changed in the most recent update though.

- added "The Exanimate" by McSkellington
- added "Dogs & Brigands" by 黒人
- added "Thing From The Stars Quest" by Quick-Fix
- added "Single-Trinket Shrieker Fight" by Quick-Fix

- removed "Maniac - Class Mod [W.I.P]" by 黒人
- removed "Roaming Collector" by Doctrine Dark
- removed "Roaming Shrieker" by Mafe

@everyone
I'm going to update the install guide & fixed mods link, and the custom saves link in a couple hours just so anyone who reads this knows.

Hey, nice that you update collection often. Can you post changelog for updates? because its impossible to check what you update if install collection trough Conexus..

I think you may have installed the "Better Mod Menu" mod incorrectly. I say that because I installed it incorrectly the first time as well, and had the exact same issue that you're having now.
Try downloading this, and place the "fe_flow" folder that's inside into your Darkest Dungeon game directory. When it asks if you want to replace files, say yes to all. Let me know if it worked, which it should.

No other mod in the entire list would effect the game from the main menu other then that mod. All the other mods would only cause errors during or after loading into a game. That probably won't happen either though, because I've been fine tuning the sh#t out of this collection for almost 2 years.

I followed everything in the guide, even the optional stuff but when i launch the game this happens
https://imgur.com/hef1G0Z can anyone help?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I just posted the new link for the game save files as well in case anyone was waiting on those.

Nice work!

Sorry but i didnt have the time to try sadly, i will tell you as soon as i try the new guide, thx for the help man

I'm assuming it worked then...

1. Load the game up and go to the profiles page. Starting from the first profile, count down to the 4th profile slot, if you have a profile already created there, delete it.

2. On that same 4th profile, create a new profile, difficulty and DLC options don't matter because this profile is about to get overwritten anyways, call it whatever you want, hit enter, then start the game.

3. Once it loads into the tutorial stage, go to the options and close the game completely.

4. Now open up my custom save profiles that you downloaded, and drag the "profile 3" folder into your DD saved games folder, and say yes when it asks you if you want to overwrite the files. After it's done copying the files, now load up the game again, and you'll now see my custom profile instead with all the mods preactivated as promised.

5. Do this same process again for the other 2 custom save files, but make sure to start on the profile right underneath the first one you just did.

Alright I figured it out, or at least figured "a" way for it to work. I'm gonna rewrite the guide tonight but this is for you.

thx for the response man, redownloaded everything and mods are working fine, but i cant make the preset work. i followed the guide but when i open the game there isnt any profile already there, there is any troubleshooting i can do?

Okay, all links have been updated. I recommend redownloading the installation guide/skins again just to be safe. Let me know if you guys need any help.

Yeah, I'm working on it as we speak. Check back in like an hour and I should have them up. I've been tweaking the collection the past week and wasn't sure if anyone even noticed yet.

Love the work you put into this, but there is any way to have an updated link for the game presets?

@Obewin
I'm sure you've probably moved on by now, but I think I found the culprit that was giving you that error message. Pretty sure it was being caused by "Anemone's Better (And More!) CoM Trinkets". While diagnosing I was able to get that same error to trigger, then remembered that mod uses "conduit" trinkets. I removed the mod and the error went away and I haven't been able to reproduce it again with any other mod.

Well it took longer then I anticipated, but I got some really good builds up for you guys now. If anyone reads this, let me know if you need any help with anything or if you have any suggestions like good mods to add, or cool ideas for custom builds/ playthroughs. Hope you guys enjoy.

Okay, new install guide is up, collection has been updated and refined, all skins have been fixed so they don't conflict with one another.
Now I'm going to go through and make some custom builds for those of you that prefer to not choose which mods to activate, and would rather just plug-n-play. Again, stay tuned.

To anyone that cares:
This mod collection just got massively refined with the intention of making things much easier and straightforward for everyone, not just the DD modding vets. I'm in the process of rewriting the installation guide now, with focus only on the "Conexus" method and moving away completely from the "Subscribe" method. I will also be writing a guide explaining the different mod intricacies so that you have more knowledge of what should or shouldn't be activated when choosing which mods you want to activate. Stay tuned, coming soon.

I'm sorry to hear that. I couldn't tell you which mod is causing that error, but it's due to either having too many trinket mods active, or there is a patch not active for another mod that should be. Most likely the latter. I totally understand though for giving up. This shit can be complicating when troubleshooting, especially when there's almost 1000 mods. I run into the same issues sometimes when testing new mods with the rest of the collection.

I gave up, tried for 2 hours to fix that error , now the mods re-organized themselves, i give up , thanks for the list doe

did that , now i get this error , https://i.imgur.com/cslfOjm.png when i load

@Obewin
Damn, that fricken sucks. That means that Steam FINALLY updated subscribed mod ordering so that it now works properly. So unfortunately you'll have to "Unsubscribe From All" and start from the top next time, or use Conexus which is the superior method imo. Since Steam apparently did fix the ordering issue though, you could try the "Subscribe To All" button and cross your fingers that it works so you don't waste your time again. Honestly though, just use Conexus. Another benefit it has is that it keeps mods in a different folder then subscribed mods, so if a mod gets removed from Steam for some reason, it won't automatically get deleted from your mods folder like it would if you were subscribed to it.
Sorry again you wasted your time by starting from the bottom. Even though that used to be what was required, I'll update the guide so that no one falls victim to that again.

I subscribed from bottom to top , like it says but it doesn't look right , check it out, https://i.imgur.com/cLOtjVw.png ,it starts from the bottom, is this right ? doesnt look right

Dude, I don't know what happens whenever I try to play I get the same error code which is ´´trait duchessravenous has Invalid buff RAVENOUSCRIT´´ somebody know why this happen?
