ALL my mods disappeared

BOB · Post by **BOB** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 6:50 pm

Today I loaded up steam, and to my crazy surprise, every single one of my thousands of downloaded mods were GONE. Vanished.

I guess I'll have to reinstall 'em all.

This also reminds of of a few months ago, when for some reason, EVERY GAME on steam got uninstalled. Huh.

Gone? That's a shame. I hope the first mod you reinstall is obsidian!

Do you have younger brothers or sisters?

Well I have a younger sister, but the only thing she does on the computer is play Neopets. :/

...and remove your steam apps...

She wouldn't be smart enough to do that. o_O And if she did know how do to that, she wouldn't be stupid enough to remove it.

I don't know much about steam problems and such. Do you think steam or something else removed your files?

tryed searching the steam forums or sending steam support a question about your problem?

No, eh, I'll just reinstall them all. It'll take a while but it will work.

...Right?

maybe make your mods folder read-only?

I reinstalled it and it worked! Oh joy!

P.S. My name in OC is Player 2, perhaps you've seen me.
