Thanks very much for the suggestion here as it worked well and solved my problem.

Thanks also to the other replies, appreciate you all taking the time to help me. :)

Just tried the WeMod trainer and everything works. For anyone who might like to know!

WeMod has a Trainer for Valheim... I just went into my WeMod and saw it there. I haven't tried it but it has about 18 toggles from god mode to game speed.

I have used there mods for a ton of games and they're 96% workable.

Did you install BepInEx, the one thing necessary for mods to work? Did you install your mods dependencies?

Manual instructions:
Go to
Copy everything from inside
into it.
For all the mods you want put their .dll files into

Short of conflicts, broken mods, or failing to read the dependencies lists for your mods and install those as well, that's it. It's simple.

I hate both the managers. Manual is simple and works 100%, vortex does weird ♥♥♥♥ and fails to update things, also ♥♥♥♥ nexusmods, and the thunderstore modman doesn't do a damn thing. Manual is the way to go, you know what files are where versus some bloat ♥♥♥♥ doing god knows what.

EDIT: thanks Steam, thanks for turning a code block into a link, and changing the back slashes into forward slashes in the process. How the ♥♥♥♥ do I fix this ♥♥♥♥, it's already a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ code block. ♥♥♥♥ you Steam.

It would probably help to identify the mods so someone who uses them could help you.
In addition there should <maybe> be a readme.txt file attached to the mod.
If they are supposedly enabled, you might have to do something specific for
them to show up.
In the vanilla game you often have to move something in/out of your inventory
for a recipe to appear or find a specific ingredient.
