Which of the HQ Racism mods work in multiplayer without everybody having them installed? I assumed none, but then I noticed that some remnant of NA was working - the deep gnome near Nere referred to himself as a healer instead of a husband. Subtitle said husband though.
Are you using an older version? Old ones use direct game file overrides and these work fine on client side in multiplayer. but the downside is it doesn't show up in official mod manager and confuses people.

Yeah it would be an older one. So none of the up to date versions would work?

Nope, they're made to be compatible with toolkit and those can't be overrides.

@loregamer said he was working on something that allowed you to use mods without others using them iirc

@Oyster Sauce Try this out and lemme know if it works. And I guess tell me what mods you want.

You can put this directly in your game's Data folder and it should load in game as a vanilla pak file

Having to use a modlist instead of curating your own is very brown coded

I read there is a mod dependency for the Paladin armors that looked cool, I agree that Transmog leads to game design issue, namely that you will design your character once because you think it looks cool, making visual progression pointless.

Amazing list, but I have come across some mods that are outdated or not compatible with patch 8

- Plus UI seems to not work correctly
- Improved World Tooltips - mod is hidden in Nexus
- Daughter of Lolth - Minthara - Good Recruitment - I wonder if this works since it hasn't been updated in a longggggggggg time

Will the list be updated for Patch 8 compatibility?

Can give this a try. You can manage your load order as normal, and then put your secret HQ Racism mods via this

Not exactly. If you like this version, just place it above RR

HQ-approved modlists would be neat if anyone wants to pick a game they like and know a lot about modding and work on it. :cowboy:
