MySix ModsNotCheating

Having mods installed no longer stops you earning achievements.

• The problem: Valheim switches achievements off for anyone with a mod installed, as if they had cheated. With this installed it does not, and achievements unlock as they would in the unmodded game.
• Everything else the game counts as cheating still counts: using dev commands, carrying spawned items, or playing a world with cheat modifiers. This only stops mods themselves from being held against you.
• Nothing on your character is changed: being modded is never saved to a character, so once this is installed your achievements simply work again.
• On as soon as it is installed. If you would rather not have it, uninstall it, or set ModsNotCheating.Enabled to false.

Part of the MySix mod suite. Every mod in the suite needs MySix Core, which adds the in-game mysix command for reading and changing settings. On a server, settings are owned by the server: an admin changes a value once and every connected player picks it up.

Installing

Install with a mod manager - the Thunderstore Mod Manager, Gale and r2modman all work - or unzip the DLL into BepInEx/plugins yourself. Everyone playing together should run the same versions.

Settings

Changing a setting in game

1. Press F5 to open the console. If nothing opens, add -console to Valheim's launch options (in Steam: right-click Valheim, Properties, Launch Options) and start the game again.
2. Type one of these and press Enter:
   • mysix lists every MySix setting with its current value.
   • mysix get <setting> shows one setting: its value, its choices, its default and what it does.
   • mysix set <setting> <value> changes it.

Setting names and values are not case sensitive, and a change is saved at once and kept.

Who can change what

• Server settings belong to the world. On a dedicated server, a server admin (someone listed in the server's adminlist.txt) types the mysix set command in their own console while connected, and it changes for every player at once; anyone else is told they must be an admin. In a world you host yourself, you change it.
• Player settings are each player's own: type the command in your own game, and it changes only for you.

This mod's settings

For example, to change each one:

mysix set ModsNotCheating.Enabled false

In the config file: BepInEx/config/com.mysix.modsnotcheating.cfg, under [ModsNotCheating]: Enabled.

Changing a setting in the config file instead

Every setting is also in a config file, in BepInEx/config/ (your mod manager's Config editor opens the same file). Change it while the game is closed. For a server setting on a dedicated server, edit the server's own copy of the file and restart the server.

Languages

Every MySix mod supports all the languages Valheim offers: whatever language you play the game in, the text these mods show is in that language too. Abenaki is the one exception for now - there it shows in English, as we could not find a translation we trust. We mainly test in English, but we will do our best to support every language the game supports; if something reads wrong in yours, please let us know.

Note on achievements

Valheim switches achievements off for anyone with a mod installed. MySix Mods Not Cheating, part of the MySix bundle, keeps them working.

Version 1.0.3. The Changelog tab lists what changed in each release.

Changelog - Mods Not Cheating

What changed in Mods Not Cheating, newest release first. Each MySix mod has its own version number, and only a release that changed Mods Not Cheating is listed here.

1.0.0

• New: achievements work again with mods installed. Valheim treats having any mod installed as cheating and switches achievements off. This stops mods themselves counting, and nothing else: dev commands, spawned items and worlds with cheat modifiers still count exactly as before. It changes nothing on your character, because being modded was never saved to one.
