    So I reinstalled Starbound after a while of not playing it and decided to reinstall some of my fav mods. I went into the steam folder for starbound, open up the mods folder, and dropped in a character slot extender and some race mods .(https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/kawas-xbawks-mode-character-creator.81/) (https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/avali-triage.2852/)
    I figured that was all there is to it as that's how i recall it being, but every time i try to start up the game with those files in that folder it stops responding at the logo animation. I have only been able to get it to start up without the folders there and after a few tries it stopped responding even after I removed the files from the mod folder and I'd have to uninstall and reinstall the game again. Does anyone know why this might be? I'm sorry if it's obvious, I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this sort of thing.

    Your starbound.log :nuruwink:

    It is located in the storage folder of your starbound install. It may appear as only "starbound" depending on the file-extension settings of your OS. The file is needed so we can pinpoint the issue and provide a solution. :nuruhappy:

    You can upload the file directly via the "upload a file" button here on the forums. It *should* normally be the one directly after the starbound.config file.

    Yup. This log however shows that only "Avali Objects+" is installed. The rest of the log looks like booting up and ending the game via main menu directly after.

    Lets pretend i didnt see the doublepost :nuruwink:

    Thats the exact same log. :nurushock: Do you get an error message when starting the game? If yes can you provide a screenshot?

    aaaah sorry sorry! Um I don't get an error message, it just stops responding. Here's a screenshot anyways and a shot of my mods folder as well. I'm wondering if maybe I just tried to install them incorrectly

    Hm....just a wild thought here but it seems that maybe the log itself cant be accessed. Try removing the starbound.log file.
    Also try adding starbound as an exception to your anti virus software (if any is present)

    ahhh no luck... It got to the actual logo this time but otherwise it just stopped responding again...

    Yup. No errors tho but it seems it is file access.
    Try launching starbound as admin.

    still no luck ;-;. Maybe I put the files into the wrong folder? Cause it seems to work fine without the mod files there.

    They get recognized in the mods folder and dont throw any errors on launch. The freeze with no additional info in the log is kinda weird.
    The mods should be on steam workshop too tho. Maybe subscribing to them there solves the issue?
