Workshop menu has changed after addon install. How to revert?

[TouchMyHorse]

Hello

I'm new to the mod world. I started a playthrough with the Life in the Ruins mod list and it worked well until today. I downloaded the Wasteland Venturers Sim Settlements 2 Addon Pack and when I booted the game my workshop menu options are all different and the majority of my buildable items are missing including the buildings themselves. I immediately deleted the addon but now when I boot up the game it is still stuck with this limited menu.

Does anyone have suggestions short of deleting the whole mod organizer app and starting over?

Cheers

Not too familliar with Life in Ruins, generally troubleshooting problems with a big modlist or collection becomes way harder. Adding SS2 addons to existing games also should not have that effect :/ I'm not sure why it would do that. But an "easy" fix seems to be removing it and reverting to a save where you didn't have it installed (playing after removing a mod most likely won't end well for the game).
You could also try the "settlement menu manager"'s repair menu function or something.

Thanks for the suggestions. I removed the add-on and went back to several saves before I implemented the add-on, but my menu is still stuck in the new format in all my saves. The items I can't access obviously still exist in the game files because placed items from before the change are still there but I no longer have the ability to place them again and all my categories are different.

If you updated the game itself recently and then the menus stopped working, I'd assume that's why. F4SE needs to be updated for all the mods that rely on it to work, and that takes some time. There are also some game changes and possible new conflicts due to new creation club content added with the update. You'd likely want to downgrade the game version if possible, or wait for the modlist to update for the new version. Anyway you'd probably have more luck for support in their discord - https://discord.gg/HUNWVBjZPg

I also noticed that before I downloaded the add-on I had 997 mods running in mod manager and after the add-on was installed and then deleted I have 1011 mods running. I have no idea what the additional ones are though...

Thanks! I'll try the discord.
