I went up to the 21.2 and it still won't load, continues to say there is not MODinfo.xml.. Can someone please help? I have never had this problem before.Can someone help me out? I have never had a problem loading this mod until recently. I went back down to 20.6 so I could use it but it fails to load every time. States it’s missing modinfo.xml and I don’t know what to do or where to get it. Thanks
I don't know about this mod, but the "ModInfo.xml" file is required to be directly inside every mod folder, like this:I went up to the 21.2 and it still won't load, continues to say there is not MODinfo.xml.. Can someone please help? I have never had this problem before.
I have always went into the zip file then copy and paste the files which has always worked. I even unzipped it into the mods folder without success. I search the entire folder for the modinfo.xml file but it comes up as not found. I play on windows with steam and it has always worked in the past but for some reason I am unable to now. When the game loads it says it can't find that xml so it doesn't load it. It's this mod that I am trying to get to load as it is the only mod I really like. Thank you for replying.I don't know about this mod, but the "ModInfo.xml" file is required to be directly inside every mod folder, like this:
Mods/ModName/ModInfo.xml
where:
Mods is the folder all the mods are put in
ModName is the folder for the mod (whatever the mod is named).
think of this as "the mod is inside the Mods folder"
if ModInfo.xml is not literally at this location, I believe the mod will not load with that "not found" error you are seeing. It may be missing, or your mod folder structure is not set up right. some mods are zipped when you download them and when unzipped they have an extra toplevel folder added and it looks something like this, which will fail to load with that error:
Mods/ModNameFolderXYZ/ModName/ModInfo.xml.
Think of this of this as "the mod folder is inside the ModNameFolderXYZ folder.
If this is happening, get rid of the "ModNameFolderXYZ" folder ny moving the "ModName" folder under "Mods".
Also: i am assuming you are manually putting the mods into the games "Mods" folder and not using a tool to load mods.
Also: i am assuming you are on Windows and not another OS

I looked into all of that and it is put in correctly, it’s just not able to find the modinfo.xml file. I guess I’m just going to have to go vanilla since I am unable to get it to work.Check that you didn't unzip and it created a new subfolder
The mod structure should be:
Sometimes when you unzip, it creates a new folder and you get
In the later case, it won't load up correctly as it is looking for modinfo in the first BFT2020Mod folder when it is actually in the second BFT2020Mod folder.
Note: I used a generic mod name as I don't know the exact mod name for this one ( didn't want to confuse anyone with the wrong name)
Where are you downloading it from?I looked into all of that and it is put in correctly, it’s just not able to find the modinfo.xml file. I guess I’m just going to have to go vanilla since I am unable to get it to work.
From the beginning of this thread where he posted at the top. It is where I have always downloaded it from.Where are you downloading it from?

I did that and still get the same error.Make sure you have these mods installed into your Mods file, not the parent folder. Each of these subfolders has the modinfo file in them.
Easiest thing to do is to unzip to your desktop, go into that folder until you see the folders below, then copy and paste all of these mod folders into your mods folder for 7 days to die

Thanks for this, I did it once before and it didn't work but for some reason this time it did. I must have missed a folder or had something extra in with it. I have never done it this way and it has always worked did they change the way that the files have to go in? I always just copied the folder inside the zip folder and it would run without a hitch. Thanks again for helping me out with this.Nope you didn't. You are copying the main folder. You need to grab all the individual mod folders in the image I posted and load those into your mod folder for the game. So when you look into your game's Mods folder, you should see folders like 0-Score, etc. If you are seeing war-of-the-walkers folders in your mods folder, it cannot find the modinfo files.
