Update Conan Exiles Enhanced mods without losing your world

The template exposes Mod IDs and separate Auto Update Mods and Auto Update Server controls. Treat a mod change as a maintenance task: a world that depends on a removed mod can lose content when it next saves.

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and create a backup containing ConanSandbox/Saved and your current mod configuration.
  2. Record the existing Mod IDs and the load order required by the mod authors.
  3. Change the mod list in Startup and choose whether Auto Update Mods should run at startup.
  4. Start once and let downloads finish. Read the first mod-loading error rather than repeatedly restarting.
  5. Update one client to the same mod set and check existing buildings, crafting stations and inventories.

Check the result

If the new set fails, return to the recorded list and compatible backup. Do not save a valued world after removing a content mod unless you intend to remove its objects.
