Is TSLRCM compatible with any mods that alter appearance.2da?

Recommended Posts

TLDR: Yes, of course.

 

Not really a bad question, it can be a little complicated to answer. 

 

Any mod that uses/modifies appearance.2da that does not have a tslpatcher will be incompatible. There can only be (1) appearance.2da in the override.

Any mod that correctly uses the tslpatcher to modify the appearance.2da can be compatible. 

 

Note: that this is only under the guise of comparing mods strictly based on appearance.2da and there are plenty of other things that can cause incompatibility.  

 

 

If you install mods with the Steam Workshop, then you can run into issues where this question/answer becomes confusing.

Workshop installs mods into subfolders, so if you install (2) different mods that use app.2da, they will each get their own subfolder causing an issue, since only 1 app.2da can be in the override.

Therefore, Steam WOrkshop says things like... you can't have any other app.2da mods installed because of "incompatibility."

 

On principle, you should really not use Steam Workshop for TSL mods, that system unnecessarily complicates mod builds.

Thanks so much! it does use tslpatcher, so I'll hope for the best, thanks again!
