So I just booted up the game and a lot of mods I like to play with aren’t showing up. I checked and they only have modinfo files, I have completly reinstalled the game and this didn’t help. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know how to fix it?

Go to the modinfo files and change `"obsolete": true` to false

> The mods you are looking for are still in the cdda/data/mods folder. If you like a mod, move it to cdda/mods and delete the line “obsolete=true” from modinfo.json, then take that cdda/mods folder with you any time you update the game. We’ve stopped supporting a bunch of mods as part of mainline, but they’re still fine as third party mods.
