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

Manual instructions:
Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim
Copy everything from inside
into it.
For all the mods you want put their .dll files into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins

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.
