Dope video, still working 10 months later as of me watching! Thank you!!
Thanks a ton for the guide! Glad to be back playing subnautica again!
At 5:48 you were wondering why some mods have multiple sub folders, When you drop a mod with a subfolder into the root directory, the mod is automatically placed in the "mods" folder because the subfolder is recognized as part of the mod package. and will automatically place any new mod packages it finds in that location. This allows for easy organization and management of the various mods that a player may have installed
Oh ok I didn't know that would work. Thank you!
Idk what that means but kraken understood it so well done
Instructions unclear, the cucumber is still stuck
Hey Kracken can you do an updated video on how to mod Below Zero with nautilus instead? Thanks@@leviathankraken
Thanks for the easy step by step video... you made my life a little bit easier.
Man thank you so much. I was struggling a lot with Vortex but now I know how to install mods, so thank you. Thanks a lot !
I've been trying to mod Subnautica for so long. My headache is finally gone. Lol. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was struggling to get mods working again after having to uninstall mine due to a bug, but this helped 100%.
bro thank you so much i looked like 10 or more videos how to install mods to subnautica and don't understand anything but u helped me so much thank you!
tysm, i was majorly confused trying to use vortex and this made it so much easier
great video! Really easy to follow along and understand
This helped a lot and everything works as it should. The guide was thorough and clear. You're awesome
Thank you. Just remember that nautilus now replaces sml helper. I made a new video that covers everything including shaders etc: ruclips.net/video/Xgvj67HdxIE/видео.html
@@leviathankraken Of course. I'll watch that as well
This video was the only one that help me get mods. Thank you so much!
I humbly thank u for the time u spend making this tutorial
thank you so much! your 1st vid was kinda confusing but this one made things so much easier👍
You are awesome I was trying to download mods for like years and your video help thank
you've earned a subscriber my g thanks a lot man it took me so long to try mod subnautica literal weeks because i couldnt find a straight forward video that is for the new update thanks a lot man
thank you so much you were the only one who i could get mods to work
Just started my first full playthrough of subnautica in VR. I only installed the VR enhancement mod so I didn't need this video but will remember it for when I want to add more mods.
I tried playing the vr version but I could only go towards and backwards I couldn’t go left or right :(
good luck in promoting the channel! thanks for the guide
Thanks for this. Imma save this vid for when I feel like playing Subnautica again and try it modded.
still working! awesome video man
i didn't expect it to be this simple. thx
This video is an absolute godsend. The actions are still largely the same, minor differences to the files in the packs but it is very easy to follow this and apply it to the current files. Thanks.
thanks for the video it was crystal clear, now i can play with mod thanks to you, you'r the boss
It worked! Thank you for making this tutorial cause it was realy hard for me to find a way to download mods i Subnautica. Again, thank you.
Thanks for the full tutorial man
Thanks alot for helping me out on this, i have been struggling with this problem for quite awhile but now i know how to do it, so thanks
Thanks pall. This video deserves a like and you deserve a subscribe.
thanks so much i had a lot of trouble with vortex and it would just not work with me but this works very well for me thanks a lot!!
OMG I TRIED THIS SO MANY TIMES FOR MONTHS THANK U SO MUCH AND DID THIS ON XBOX THANK U U JUST EARNED A SUB
Bro thank u I haved looked through so many videos trying to figure this out and either it didn't explain enough or was outdated so yea thank you for your step by step video cause me dumb
Thanks for this! I've been struggling to get mods working on linux (mint) and this helped tons!
Never used Linux but I'm glad it helped!
Thanks for the help it's very much appreciated.
This help so much thanks bro!
was about to say "Nvm, ill play subnautica raw :(" but yeah nah you helped me heaps mate! thank you
thanks man, really appreciate the help
very clear and easy to comprehend instructions, keep it up.
I just got a PC and I'm so confused. I did everything you said in the video but when I opened the game, it didn't show the modding window. What's "Doorstop"? All of these things that i dont understand. Im new and have never modded before. Please help.
If you could make a video showing EVERYTHING that you use, it would really be appreciated.
i think doorstop is a config file. Make sure that your subnautica is the latest 2.0 version. All downloads must be 2.0 version as well. Most mods will not work without sml helper. Mods go into the bepinex/plugins folder not the other plugins folder
@@leviathankraken I figured it out (thanks to your video). I just paid extremely close attention and read everything about how to install BipinEx properly. Sorry I sounded so harsh. Your video was great once I did BipinEx correctly.
Thanks for the information!
The reason they include the folder is because when two folders in windows have the same name, they merge their files. All you have to do is drop the BepInEx folder of the mod into Subnautica's folder, and the mod will be put in the correct folder instantly. (Which also helps with telling people what folders files go in). I believe that's also why Vortex support works, because all it has to do is locate the subnautica directory, put the files in, and they're already in the right folder without any additional struggles.
very helpful. i ran into a few snags along the way however they were easily fixed
Only thing that has changed since this video is you'll need nautilus and not sml helper
How fitting with the Fish tank burbling away in the background :)
My guy was speaking from the fish tank 💀
Awesome thank you sir! Works great
Great Job My Guy!
Good video, thanks for the help
thx bro, you helped me
I'm not sure if it's an issue with an updated BepInEx Pack or what, but when I throw in the pack files into my Subnautica folder and go into BepInEx, there's the plugins folder as expected but there's already a file in it called "Tobey" and that has a bunch of stuff inside it. So it's not empty like yours and when I throw all the other plugins in there... nothing happens. I see the terminal window open up generating all the programs I've thrown in there like in your video at 5:26 but F5 doesn't work and I don't have an option for mods in the options.
But like I said, my BepInEx Pack plugins folder isn't empty like yours was when starting out.
I'll have to look into it but try downloading BepInEx from a different source. There's nexus mods or submodica.xyz
Which site did you get it from?
@@leviathankraken I did Nexus Mods. It seemed like the right one, but yeah, the folder structure was just a bit different than your video and I'm not having any luck getting mods to actually pull in.
@@scoobydew2232 try the submodica.xyz version. Make sure it's for 2.0 and not legacy version and let me know. Also open up subnautica from the steam app. If it still doesn't work delete subnautica and reinstall.
@@leviathankraken Hey thanks for all your help even with reaching out on an individual basis. You don't have to recommend anything else, but I just wanted to close the loop on what else I tried.
I followed your advice and tried doing the submodica version. It definitely had different files in it and made me hopeful. I was able to get the plugin file to appear after starting subnautica and then added the other plugin files. The console had an error in it regarding nautilus so I ended up downloading that and throwing it in as well. It got rid of the error but it still didn't show any mods or any F5 configuration. I tried a bunch of iterations with various files and without various files and no luck. Thanks, though!
If it generated the plugins folder it should work. Did you put sml helper in there too? Most mods won't work without it. If deleting and reinstalling subnautica didn't work make sure that no external mod managers such as vortex are interfering. I would just take a deep breath and start from scratch with a fresh install of everything. I've seen poor internet connections leave fragmented files, and even strict antivirus programs can confuse mod loaders for viruses. Hope you get it working!
whyd u put the bepin ex in before you told us how?
What should i do if i don't see subnautica in the common section?
Where would I put the Bepin Ex file on Mac? I installed it, but you only showed where it belonged on Windows.
Sadly I can't help you there. Never have owned a mac :(
it works perfectly, thanks
just a question, this video is older so i dont expect it to be answered, but in my subnautica folder, i dont have a doorstop config like the one shown at 5:11, do i need to do something to get it?
I wouldn't worry about it as long as the mods work. But you can try downloading bepinex from a different source if it isn't working there's submodica.xyz or nexus mods
Keep it up man
Thanks for the help ill go get it myself later and will try to edit in how it went. But it was very clear and i'm sure it won’t be hard to do thanks for the tutorial. EDIT: i did it. thanks for the help i would've never done it without this
Thanks for this!
Annoyingly I’m on a Mac so there must be something in the steps that different but hopefully I can figure it out eventually with this as a guideline lmao
I had some one else asking about instructions for mac but sadly I've never owned one. The process should be very similar I'd imagine. Please let me know if you get it to work
@@leviathankraken I need help on Mac installation too.
my friend can't see the resource under the water how to fix?
thank you so much vortex made me want to cry
omg it actually worked! i did everything you said and guess what! IT ALL WORKED! (the cmd prompt didnt open as i clicked the game but still it WORKED!)
Lol well the BepInEx prompt should be running in the background but as long as it works
Thank you so much!
Thanks alot! First mod ever so it was hard to understand but your video makes it simple!
The game does not start in vr for me, just starts in flatscreen. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
check if u have mods in files I had that on windows steam and removing them fixed it all
It froze on epilepsy warning
hello, I know that this is kind of unrelated to the video but do you know why MrPurple6411 deleted all of his mods? or at least hid them from us? do you have the mods? can we still find them? I kind of need his mods.
Was he the perlin void modder? I can't remember. I have a link to that mod here: files.fm/u/gdeqhtgdf
But what other mods did he delete?
where do i find doorstop_config i cant find it and my bepinex does not look the same as yours mine doest have cache or any of that
Did you load up subnautica after installing bepinex? It generates files after booted up the first time
works, thx for help! ; )
So i tried doing this but when i dio it a conole apears an it writes automatically something in it and it just does that and subnautica isnt like working it gets me in the menu but it just says loading
The console appearing means bepinex is installing. I usually click out of that to open subnautica. Have you tried resetting subnautica?
Thank you for this
Hello! Can you help me? I got an error when launching subnautica, its called "beplnnex could not run preloader" or something like that.
If this is your first time modding I'd just start over. Delete everything uncluding subnautica, reinstall and download the latest bepinex from submodica.xyz and make sure your subnautica version is set to 2.0.
I made it as far as 7:08 and I ran into an issue where a bunch of red and yellow text appears when BepinEx opens and none of my mods load at all.
Did you have qmods installed before? It needs to be deleted
I followed the tutortial but i cant bring up the f5 menu. Its qmodmanager it wont delete from my subnautica files. It keeps coming back though even when i delete it.
weird. I would try deleting subnautica entirely and re-installing but if your other mods work you'll see mods tab in the options menu.
could you also do a tut video for below zero? somehow the mods there don't want to work for me... I actually do it like here in the video with the BepinEx, since Qmod is no longer supported. but nothing works...
I might make a video for BZ sometime but BZ still relies on qmod manager so in that cause you would download that and put mods into the mods folder
@5:56 They set the folders up like that so all you have to do is drop the contents of the zip into the game's root folder, instead of having to navigate through your BepInEx folder.
they do this only because nexus mod manager extract mod directly in the game root folder without checking the name and extension of the files or when the mod use the other BepInEx folder or need it own custom folder
@@cameleon2mur80 yeah, exactly. For simplicity's sake. This way, whether you use NMM, or do it manually, it all just goes in the root folder. Quicker than having to move back and forth through your game folder if you're installing a heap of mods with content that goes in different folders.
@@GamerAbeGaming i think that simplicity sake would be the sims, minecraft, starbound, file structure one unziped file with custom extension so that it can be automaticaly downloaded in the mod folder
@@cameleon2mur80 Well yeah, that works for games that actually use custom extension types for their mods. Subnautica doesn't.
So, for simplicity's sake, is a zip file from which you drag a single folder into your game's root directory not the best option for games that do not support custom file extensions like you mentioned?
Because we aren't talking about the Sims, here. We're talking about Subnautica, and we can only work with what we have.
@@GamerAbeGaming the thing you forgot is that we the community made modding support and we could use custom extension easily all custom extension are literally renamed zip files but because modders are even more lazy then developers they added modding the easiest way possible in this case using an universal mod for unity game every mobile game with modding support (except pc mod port Stardew valley gta half-life...) that i know of use custom extension because it the easiest way for the user to add mod and the only considering most mobile player have the iq of a lobotomized rock if people made and are making mod with custom extension it mean that all games with mod support can have custom extension mod we can have one files with custom extension in a single mod folder that is in roaming or document folder so that the game can be updated without losing the mods you still need to install the main mod but it less worse then having to copy every files every time i am talking about any game it should be like that in every game it would be so much easier for user and only add a click to what the modders need to do
The configuration manager is gone for me. My deathrun mod won't work. I did everything but the configuration manager because its just not loading on Nexus. I've been trying this for a few days and its pissing me off. Please help I'm gonna lose my damn mind.
Lmao well I put a new video out a few days ago how to mod in 2024 cause a few minor things have changed. Hope it helps ruclips.net/video/Xgvj67HdxIE/видео.html
Works, thanks
I had a problem when i lanched subnautica and hit F5 when a created a new world and hit F5 it didnt do anything . Can you help me ?
Are you using vortex or still have qmod files in there? Did BepInEx generate the plugins folder first time you updated subnautica? Make sure your downloading the latest configuration manager and that it goes directly into the BepInEx/plugins folder
Hey Kracken can you do an updated video on how to mod Below Zero with nautilus instead? Thanks
Have you seem my how to mod below zero video? ruclips.net/video/5tDCWGWC9Es/видео.html
It should still be relevant. Nautilus replaces sml helper though
So i followed your instructions to the Tee but when i got to opening subnautica F5 doesnt open any menu. i am using steam version of Subnautica. 2.0 update and all. ANy help?
Don't get the plugins folders confused put all mods into the BepInEx/plugins folder. Try resetting steam, and remove subnautica from vortex it you use it
@@leviathankraken I'm having the same problem but I don't understand Subnautica wont open
F5 is not working for me.. I've followed to the letter this video.. but I'm not sure how to make sure I'm on 2.0 and not legacy... or even how to instal 2.0 my game name is listed as legacy in steam
never mind I figured it out.. lol had to turn beta thing to none
If you run into any issues I have a more up to date video here that covers some of the recent changes to the modding process ruclips.net/video/Xgvj67HdxIE/видео.html
So we cant put mods on an existing save file that I played before getting any of the mods?
You can. I do it all the time. Some claim it can mess stuff up but so far I havent seen evidence of that
thank you very much! but. 1:I do not know how you opened this in the game (probably it's bepinex tweaks). I'm from Russia, so I didn't understand. Tell me, which key did you press?2:when I download the mod, the mod tab does not appear in the game settings, please answer
F5 is what I pressed. You should see mods in the tab so check to make sure your game is updated to 2.0 and that you downloaded the correct 2.0 mods
@@leviathankraken thank you so much for the answer, but I tried to press F5 and it didn't work out. Maybe it's because I'm playing with windows7?
@@leviathankraken sorry, maybe the thing is that I have a version from epic games?
@@user-yj3sp5rh7o I use steam.
c:\program files\epic games\subnautica
This is where you will need to put your BepInEx download.
@@user-yj3sp5rh7o It's possible you might need to upgrade windows. But I don't know. I use windows 11
No idea what happened. No mods are loading, i did everything according to the tutorial, yet nothing is either loading in-game or in the settings.
Try deleting sml helper and using only nautilus and see if that works
I know this is old but tysm!
the bepinex file contains nothing in it i dont know what to do when i start subnautica it just starts the game it doesnt show what it showed you
Try downloading it from a different source there's either submodica.xyz or nexus mods. Sounds like your download messed up tho
@@leviathankraken ok thank you I got it to work the original file was messed up so I downloaded it again and it worked just fine
i dont have a bepinex folder in the subnautica folder, should i make one? or should i be worried?
It's supposed to generate a folder after you run subnautica after putting the folder in the main directory
i dont have a doorstop_config either, are you saying i have to play subnautica and then there will be the folders?
I did everything like you and it still didn't work? I will be a little more specific when I started the game again and started a creative world and clicked F5 I only saw the configuration manager even when I followed all the steps. Is it possible that it is becouse the mods got ugraded? Thoughts?
I am sorry for my english it isn't my first language.
if you see the configuration manager then overall it is working. But if none of the mods are showing up then yes it is possible the mods are legacy mods and not 2.0. Make sure that you have SML helper installed as most mods will not work without it and all mods in the proper plugin folder
@@leviathankraken Thank you!!
@@leviathankraken EDIT: IT WORKS even when I didn't see the tweaks and all of that it works!!!! Thank you so much for an awesome tutorial!!
I have a problem, at (C:)/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Subnautica I don't have the BepinEx file, and I had run Subnautica one time. Can someone help me?
Make sure you unzipped it and that your version is 2.0. It should start generating the files the first time you open the game
no clue what I'm doing wrong but the mods won't show up in game. i only have config and audio. I followed your video exactly so no clue what went wrong
You mean when you click F5 (I believe it is?) Well! I don't see them there too but just check in the setting if you have there a slot named "mods" if you instaled something and still don't see it there check if it works.
I installed the "True base" something (idk) and I didn't see it in either but it was working. so even if you don't see it with the F5 It doesn't mean it isn't working!
Hope it helped!
Installed as instructed but F5 does nothing, any ideas?
Someone else said they had f5 assigned to something else on windows that might interfere
Great video. At least I have a mod button now so i know I am getting closer. I still can't seem to get my mods to work and followed this video exactly. This is the third video I watched. I am new to moding and didn't know it was this hard. I just want some extra quick slots. I got the mod button to show up but none of the mods are there to select.
Install nautilus and delete sml helper. Make sure that each mod is for 2.0 and not legacy. And not all mods show up in the mods tab, since some do not have settings to tweak
@@leviathankraken It worked! Thank you! You are a legend!
My local game files don't have a bepinex file folder at all. What to do?
And you installed the latest bepinex version into the subnautica directory?
I'm still confused I have two of your video's open trying to figure out how to get the file like how you have them
There's another site submodica.xyz that you might wanna try just make sure it's the latest version of bepinex and you now will need nautilus too for the newer mods
I am following the video perfectly and its really easy to follow along. But I am unable to get the f5 key to work. Did this happen for anyone else? if so how did you fix it? I am running windows 11
F5 is only if you have the configuration manager installed. If it isn't working you could try the one on nexus mods
some mods require qmod manager, but it's available for legacy, and I'm using 2.0, what should I do?
Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/I63-HdMbcQo/видео.html
so i will remove all the mods in the game, install the legacy, and do what is shown in this video, right?@@leviathankraken
If you have 2.0 mods currently installed and want to play the legacy mods instead then yeah go ahead and delete your mods, delete bepinex and then proceed to downgrade as in the video
can i install mods that require QMod Manager while playing the Living Large version? cuz i dont want play legacy version@@leviathankraken
@leonalayja5861 sadly no. It's ether one or the other
great video thanks for the help. One question: do the legs still have collision? lmao
Nope. Base leg removal is a full removal lol
I am wondering why it isn't working i wanted to paly de-extinction but it didn't work I dropped all mods in subnautica -> BepInEx-> plugins
De-Extinction hasn't been updated yet. You'd have to downgrade to the legacy version if you wanna do a playthrough with De-Extinction
@@leviathankraken can you remind me if the mod works
Finally it’s working I can mod
thanks g, love you. Cant believe how simple this was now I'm a professional modder. Also it sounded like there was a fish tank in the background, could I ask what fish?
Right now we're breeding fancy guppies in a 100gal, wanting to buy more rare breeds to get more into the hobby hardcore. Also red cherry shrimp in a 20gal another tank and I have a 55 saltwater in the other room with some clownfish and a shrimp :)
probably incorrect but i think when you delete a game it deletes the game files but not stuff you add like bepinex or other folders/files
I'm not sure lol but sometimes I know reinstalling helps when they're having issues.
Yo guys do reapera respawn if killed or not? Everyone is saying something else and I dont know where is the truth
i know its 10 months ago, but i can try, what if i dont see the options to the mods in the game? aaaaand very helpful video, keep going man, good luck
Make sure that the mods you downloaded are for 2.0 and not legacy. If you don't see a mods tab then it's not working
hey man thankyou for the video! Im tryna downloading Slot extender mod, and followed your video to the tee, when i press f5 i get the panel, but when go to the options file, theres no "Mods' option, how do you tackle that? thanks in advance
I have an updated how to mod video here: ruclips.net/video/Xgvj67HdxIE/видео.html
But, you should delete sml helper and install nautilus. If slot extender is all you installed, then a mods tab might not show up because only some mods have configurable options
Also fyi the terrain patcher mod is broken so be sure to download an older version of it
It goes into the bepinex/plugins folder like the other mods. And be sure to delete sml helper if you have it
