QModManager VS Penumbra

You should ask in the Help section of the Subnautica Modding Discord server.

I suggest you join the Subnautica Modding Discord. There's a ton of information, you can get your mod-related questions answered, and many Subnautica mod authors frequent the Discord and you can talk directly and get specific updates.

You may be better off simply consulting the authors on the subnautica modding discord, tbh https://discord.gg/UpWuWwq

You can keep up with events on the Subnautica Discord if you want, since so many mods aren't coming back to Nexus due to their policies.

You can always join the Subnautica Modding Discord which is run by the community to ask more questions specifically about modding though since they would be more knowledgeable about it than me.

Had same issue yesterday. I simply downloaded the bz stable version from github and haven't had a problem. https://github.com/SubnauticaModding/QModManager/releases/download/v4.3/QModManager_BZ.STABLE.zip

https://discord.gg/UpWuWwq Here, this is the subnautica modding discord. A lot of stuff was taken off of Nexus when they changed some agreements for mod authors and it's mirrored on that server. Cheers.

Instead, download version 4.3 from the QModManager github. Choose the file titled QModManager.Setup.EXEs.zip: https://github.com/SubnauticaModding/QModManager/releases/tag/v4.3

you need penumbra if you don't have it yet and use that to install the mod

You can find various body edits on https://www.xivmodarchive.com/ . In order to use them, the easiest way is to use the XIVLauncher (https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher) which enables the addon system. With that, download the addon "Penumbra" to use those edited bodies ingame (https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra).

Runtime loader (Custom clothes, animation): https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra (a year old)

You'll need Penumbra, which in itself requires Dalamud ala the FFXIVQuickLauncher tool. You can install FFXIVQuickLauncher via an installer and here's a video for installing Penumbra.

Download that, also download textools https://www.ffxiv-textools.net/ OR penumbra https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra (this one also needs XIVLauncher) and then import the file you downloaded from nexusmods, and that's it.

Penumbra

Penumbra is a quicklauncher plugin (link) that allows you to non-destructively apply mods.

From what I understand that was fixed a few versions ago. https://github.com/xivdev/Penumbra/releases/tag/0.4.6.7

Should be this one I think.
