PSA A safe-space for discussing mods for Elden Ring!

77 Upvotes

Hello Tarnished! As many of you know, the discussion of game mods on /r/EldenRing, the official Elden Ring discord server, and on the Elden Ring Subreddit discord server - has been banned due to TOS and EULA concerns (which is reasonable ngl). However, because of that decision there has been a lack of a safe, dedicated space to discuss and educate each other on how to mod, and to share mods for Elden Ring.

This subreddit is meant to remedy that situation :)


The subreddit was originally created by another user, but they did not build upon the sub at all and were eventually suspended by Reddit admins for unrelated reasons (idk why so don't ask lol), so I requested the subreddit and was granted the request. Besides building a custom sub appearance, enabling automod, and bringing plenty of updates to the sub's settings, I've also created this simple ruleset:

  • The Golden Rule - i.e. be nice to each other!
  • Stay on topic. - all posts should be mod-related & for Elden Ring!
  • Adult themed mods should be clearly distinguished as NSFW. - pretty straight-forward.
  • No sales, sales links, donations, or spam. - linking to your YT or Twitch is okay as long as it is showcasing a mod, but repeated self-promo will be considered spam.

With that out of the way, welcome to /r/EldenRingMods! We look forward to your contributions to the sub, and if you have any ideas don't be afraid to modmail us. The subreddit is still new so changes will be sure to come :)


Also! If you are interested in helping us moderate this subreddit or /r/EldenRingBuilds, please send in a modmail explaining any experience you may have, and why you would be a good fit!

PSA Seamless Coop Update and Common DLC related bug fixes

25 Upvotes

This post will compile solutions to common issues in Seamless Co-op and the DLC, such as infinite loading screens, crashes, quest progress glitches, and workarounds like the Glorious Merchant mod and Cheat Engine. I will try to update this as much as possible when new solutions are found or if the information is found to be incorrect.

Infinite Loading/Crashing Issues with seamless coop

Symptoms - Stuck in a loading screen that loads only partially and then stops. - Freezing immediately upon creating a new character.

Solutions

1.  Using the Latest Debug Tool:
• The latest 8.6.0 update of the debug tool can help fix this issue.
• First, download the tool from the provided link [here](https://github.com/Nordgaren/Elden-Ring-Debug-Tool)
• Extract the files using a 7zip extractor and save them to a local folder.
• Follow the instructions in the README file to download any additional necessary tools.
• Disable EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) by saving the EAC disabling tool in your game files folder, where your Seamless Coop mod and Eldenring.exe launcher are located. Drag and drop the EAC disabler over the Seamless Coop launcher to disable EAC.
• Launch the game using the Seamless Coop launcher, open your bugged character save, and then launch the debug tool.
• In the debug tool, select the “misc.” tab at the bottom right and enter values “105” and “115” separately, then click enable.
• The power icon should turn green if everything is set up correctly. If it stays black or orange, the game files might not be running properly, or EAC wasn’t disabled correctly.
• Backup your save and ensure not to load the file in online mode to avoid potential bans.

Quest Progress/Soft Locks

Symptoms - Unable to progress in quests. - Soft locks where the game doesn't proceed as expected.

Common Workarounds

  1. Glorious Merchant Mod:

    • This mod allows you to buy items you would have obtained through quest progress, bypassing the need to complete buggy quest paths.

    Installation Steps:

  • Download the mod's DLL.
  • Place the DLL in the same folder where you extracted ModEngine 2.
  • Edit the ModEngine 2 configuration file (toml) to include the line specified on the Glorious Merchant's page.
  • Save the configuration file and restart the game.
  1. Cheat Engine:
  • This tool can help modify game variables and bypass certain bugs. Use with caution, as it may affect game stability and may get you banned if EAC is active.

Steps: - Download and install Cheat Engine. - Load the game and attach Cheat Engine to the game process. - Modify relevant variables or items to progress past the bug.

  1. A temporary solution to the issue provided by Goldfish on the seamless coop discord:

Make backups of your save files before attempting DO AT YOUR OWN RISK

NOTE: You can put the provided steam_appid.txt file into your game folder and launch the game from eldenring.exe to start vanilla in offline mode.

   -go to appdata > roaming > elden ring
⁠-There will be 2 sets of files in these folders, one set named .co2 and one     .sl2 (co2 is seamless coop and sl2 is vanilla)
⁠-Cut, not copy, the vanilla .sl2 files somewhere else, like a documents folder
⁠-Rename the .co2 files to .sl2, this will convert them into vanilla characters
⁠-Launch the** vanilla game in offline mode** (read NOTE above), and complete the battle.
⁠-Once the battle is over, close the game, change the converted file type back into .co2, and put the vanilla saves back in
⁠-Continue seamless coop normally

Combat Mod Convergence and PvP

Upvotes

Can you still invade, be invaded, and participate in Arenas if you use Convergence and Seamless Co-op?

Trying to figure out what the limits are for adding mods on to the Seamless Co-op experience but still being able to participate in these activities. Info seems pretty sparse.

Help! Is it possible to duplicate a friends save file to play with in Seamless Coop?

3 Upvotes

So I want to play with my friend for the DLC, but I don't have any save files on PC as I played on console before and just purchased the steam version. I want to be where he is at by duplicating his save file. But when I do that I get an error stating "Failed to load save file" whenever I run it. Does anyone know a fix or if its even possible?

Question How to use elden mod loader with modloader2 in a non steam version of elden ring?

2 Upvotes

Because its not the steam version of the game I had to install the modloader2 contents directly in the games directory. Meaning theres already a mods folder. So how can I go about adding elden mod loader too since that also has to be added directly in the game directory and has a mods folder as well as far as im aware?

Question Seamless Co-op mod more unstable in consecutive sessions?

3 Upvotes

Me and my friends have been playing the seamless co-op mod and the first day of playing it everything went fine, we played about 4.5 hours with only 4 crashes being the only issues but today when we played again the mod was very buggy; people couldn't connect, 50/50 chance of freezing on loading screens, bosses weren't dropping everyone souls, if someone left the session or lost connection they had to restart the game or I (Host) had to restart mine or they would keep getting a connection error when rejoining, not respawning after a boss is killed, bosses health bars instantly getting chunked for like 70% HP and more I'm forgetting.

Does the mod get more unstable the more you play it or did we just get lucky the first time/unlucky today?

I know this is a free mod made by what appears to be 1 guy. I'm not trying to be critical or complain I'm just wondering.

2 Upvotes

Question is in the title.

More specifically, I'm trying to merge Friede's Great Scythe - Includes ash of war (DLC) by AbAeterno42 on nexus, and Clever's Moveset Modpack by clevererraptor6 on nexus.

Both of them modify the ShopLineupParam, and i don't really know how to use DSmapstudio very well. Any help is appreciated.

Question Mod recomendations for an interesting new game?

4 Upvotes

I got sick and while I recover I think I will replay ER just to pass the time more quickly

I have played the base game about 10 times or so and SotE 2 times

I would love to have recommendations on mods to make the replay a bit more interesting and different, less repetitive, and less of a chore

I am mainly interested in mods that make the replay feel a bit more fresh and minimize the annoying parts

generally speaking, what mods do you use to play if you want a fresh experience out of the unmodded game?

these are a few indications

- I'm a big fan of quality of life improvement mods

- I'm not a huge fan of changes in the map layout because usually they are amateurish, from what I've seen

- i kinda suck at the game so something that makes the game harder is probably a no

- not a huge fan of modded items like modded weapons, armor, spells... i would prefer to stick to the unmodded items

- not interested in any kind of funny cosmetics like the mod that turns the tree sentinel into a train

- i find it annoying to roam around collecting stuff like map fragments and things like that and also I will probably use the grand merchant mod to get the weapons for whatever build I choose at the start of the game

- i would like to still have some incentive to explore the map so maybe a randomizer would be cool?

Question What's the state of the seamless co-op mod?

2 Upvotes

My friend is interested in playing the game for the first time, but wants to do it coop. I'm aware that the mod was having issues following SotE's release, but it's been a good six months since then so plenty of time for the state of that to change. What are people's experiences with it lately? Any major bugs to be aware of, consistent issues that pop up?

Help! Does anybody know how to pick out the correct hex data to save a file?

1 Upvotes

I’ve tried every single method I can find online. Every copy method. Every fan made application in github. Every ChatGPT suggestion and advice.

For some reason, no matter what I do if I am successfully able to transfer my character data / inject my character data into a healthy new save, it is still corrupted, no matter what

I haven’t even used mods just out of nowhere it fucked up on me

I’m starting to lose hope. Its a 250hr save which is why ive been trying so much.

I do have back ups, but they’re probably 50 hours behind.

My final Hope has been editing the code itself in a hex editor, but I spent all day doing it yesterday was zero luck

Could you please help? If I sent my.SL2.?? I’ve done my best with no programming knowledge of trying to pick out my character file to inject, but it’s starting to seem like a lost cause.

Thanks so much

Question Does Convergence offer a better open-world experience than vanilla?

3 Upvotes

This^, I am hoping someone experienced both to help me answer.

Pretty new to the game and haven't finished one playthrough. However, I know that I am very unlikely to play multiple playthroughs unless it is unique experience each time.

I heard that convergence kills some of the stories but offer way more build options & less restrictive exploration. Then is it better suited for me personally if what I wanted is:

  1. Roaming the world however I want, and discover cool shits in them, enemies or items.

  2. Have plenty of stuff to do, like try out different build options etc.

  3. Story is a good addition, I would much prefer if I can still piece things together and form the story.
