Is there a way to sync mods with the exact version?

Post by DarkShadow44 »

Currently I have a save that breaks when its mods get updated, but when I sync mods with the save the most recent version of the mods are enabled.
Is there a way to enable the exact versions without having to do it all manually?

This seems like a bug. I started a save on 1.1.72 with a few QoL mods and I wanted to continue it on a different PC. After selecting the same version in steam and trying to sync mods, the game downloaded the latest version of all mods, even those that require 1.1.74 (flib for example) even though the in-game mod browser handles older versions correctly.

AFAIK for various debug purposes if you press "sync mods with save" button while holding Control key, it should select exact versions.

Brilliant, thanks! IMHO you should expose that as official feature, it's pretty useful for heavily modded games.
Thank you :)
