Using this mod with "Fair Options at the Start?" and(?) "Better first floor," infinite villagers spawn in the first item room.

(The mods in question: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2492247865

Additionally, if you use one of the "Pocket Actives on all characters" mods, then those pocket actives don't get deleted when you trade them to a villager, allowing infinite items.

In further addition, normal characters with pocket items can sell their pocket items, which is game breaking for some of them. (rip Dark Arts on Tainted Judas)

In even further addition, some of them even go as far as to crash the game, like entering an item room with Tainted Lazarus, who crashes instantly.

Wow ! Thanks for the reports ! I don't know if I'll be able to fix mod compatibility issues, but I'll try. And for the pocket items, I'll fix it.

Thanks!

Do you have other mods installed (even if it seems uncorrelated) ? I installed both mods but it doesn't happen on my game. Also, does it happen often ?

Nevermind, I found the issue, it's because of External Item Description, but I don't know why yet

I see, huh, strange.

Found it, fixed it.
External Item Description is spawning an invisible shop keeper every frame at the player, and my mod replace 1/8 of the shop keepers by villagers.

Huh, neat. Is that what external item descriptions actually does to bring up the ui or something?

I don't know, probably a placeholder or just an entity for storing data. In EID's code, it's referred as "EID Helper entity"

Alright, I'll give a pretty quick rundown of what happened:

I installed the mod as any other. I did have a mod bloat at that point (107 or so) but mostly cosmetic mods that wouldn't add things. Then I installed this mod here, ran it like any old other mod and all was good. I picked steve as he was the first i saw and entered a treasure room. at this point only, if anything, the active into pocket mod and Yamarshiro's room pack (or along those lines) would be active by that point. I got the apparently already seen bug of a bilion villagers spawning once i entered the first treasure room to my right and closed the game. I uninstalled the mod and wanted to rather look from a far from that point on. But once the mod was out, the problems arrised.

I started the game with the same mods i played earlier with and after the intro cutscene was promptly skipped the game crashes. and this happened after removing 2 mods, 4 mods, 10... Until i got rid of them all. With mods still active, but no mod installed i entered the game and everything worked as it should. So i tested it with a simple vanity mod and oops, the game crashed.

I am currently reinstalling the Game as I was a little out of ideas.If you have any clues on this, anyone, that would be golden.

Maybe roll back to a previous save :
Go to :

---

C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\My games\Binding of Isaac Repentance

---

You should see a bunch of files that looks like :

---

YYYYMMDD.rep_persistentgamedataX.dat

---

take the one on the day before you had the problem.
Then, go to

---

<path to steam>\Steam\userdata\119087783\250900\remote

---

And backup all the file just in case.
Then, remove the rep_persistentgamedataX.dat where X is the number of the save file you played on.
Paste the first YYYYMMDD.rep_persistentgamedataX.dat file into the last folder and rename it to remove the date and the dot.
If it's still don't work, try removing rerunstateX.dat.
