@igazor Hi, I'm doing a brand new install of the game, all EPs and SPs (except KPST as unavailable) via Steam on a new computer. Having popped over to the new NRaas site to check out the mods list, I noticed Errortrap has its own version for Steam installs, but some other mods don't. Is it ok to use the other mods (e.g. Traveller, Register, Overwatch) without a Steam specific version?

Many thanks. :smile:

Hi there. The only mods that care about Steam vs. Origin/Disc installs are Core Mods and even then the "danger" is that with the wrong variant in play you might get the mismatched core version warning upon startup. There is functionally no difference between Patches 1.67, 1.69 and Steam vs. Origin once the games actually startup, it's their internal build numbers that can trigger the warning.

There are only six Core Mods in popular usage for TS3 and ErrorTrap happens to be one of them, hence the special variants for Steam and 1.69. The other mods do not require such special handling. For future reference, here are the other five Core Mods for which this would make any difference.

NRaas UntranslatedKey (really for developers)
CmarNYC's XCAS
Consort's 2x Weight/Fitness
GameFreak130's Loading Screen Overhaul
AwesomeMod

Besides these, if a mod is proclaimed to be okay to use for 1.66/67/69 then it's fine to use for any of them, and Steam vs. other install platforms will not matter. :)
