Correct process for a clean reinstall...

Reinstall of Ark Mod
------------------------------
1. Stop ARK if it is running
2. Unsubscribe (or else it immediately redownloads)
3. Stop Steam
4. Remove `<ModID> folder` and `<ModID>.mod` here: < ...\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods\ >
5. Remove `<ModID> folder` here: < ...\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\346110\ >
6. Restart Steam
7. Re-subscribe and wait for steam to finish downloading
8. Open ARK and let it install (wait for the “Installing” text in the bottom right corner to vanish)


Naturally if you start your world without the mod the modded stuff will disappear.. SP automatically keeps backups though. Google how to revert to one.

Don't know what you meant by walkie???



Crashing following an update is almost always caused by a corrupt download. The above is usually the fix. Nothing the mod author can do about steam downloading corrupt files though.

Ty for advice. SS has (had) a hand held device that you could pick sources and destinations and then hit transfer and it went. I'm still looking. But if i reload a save i have and do your advice I can get my stuff back

on step 4 I'm at \content\mods\ am I removing the whole \mods\ folder or only the mod file with the id # from step 5. and under \content\ . In step 5 I only have \content\72850
