MHWS mod situation

this article will be updated after very game update, so that I don't need to update mod pages very time.

2026 28th October:

the update on 27th caused some AMD GPU users encounter black cloth issue on Gemma Ver.R and Nu Udra Ver.R gamma sets, the mods was updated to 1.05, should work now(I use Nvidia so I can't confirm)

2026 4th August:

Game Update today broke most armor mods, all mods that contain .mdf2 files and .pfb files will need to be updated, please wait patiently

2026 7th March:

REFramwork updated a pak loader function recently, please also update fluffy mannger to latest to use this function. with pak loader, pak file mods no loner need to be renamed during install, thus no longer need to clean pak files when do a full reinstall. however this function may cause some of my old pak file mods can't work due to load order, they were fixed now, please update following mod:

Ver.R Basic Textures to 1.06

Custom Addons to 1.14

don't forget to delete old files first before reinstall new ones.

2026 25th Feb:

a small game update today caused some issue on reframework, it will stay in initialize state, user can't use mods depend on ref and can't close ref window. please update reframework to 01240+.

2026 21st Feb:

game update on 18th Feb broke most mods, all of my mods were fixed, later reported bugs that I can confirm were also fixed by now, you will need to reinstall them. when download, make sure mod title contain (fixed 18thFeb)

some users reported black launch screen, green texture, body/leg invisible, these issues are some typical user side installation issues, here are some tips:

1. there was another update on 20th Feb, raised pak file serial number to 15, may cause load order issue to some mods, try reinstall all mods if you encounter any issue after that

2. update REFramework and fluffy manager to latest, from links below, not nexusmods:

   fluffy manager：https://fluffyquack.com/tools/modmanager.zip

   reframework：https://github.com/praydog/REFramework-nightly/releases

   P.S. update reframwork now! thats the reason of many bug reports!

3. clear your fluffy manager mods folder, path is:

   [fluffy manager install folder]\Fluffy Manager\Games\MonsterHunterWilds\Mods

   sort files by edit date and delete all Ver.R mods before 18th Feb

   P.S. thats the second common reason of many bug reports!

4. when reinstall, check if version number shown in fluffy manager match mod page, if not, re-do tip3

5. check if you have installed Ver.R Basic Textures and 0-basic files in every mod bundle

6. if you still can't solve, try follow https://www.patreon.com/posts/mhws-mod-clean-133063232 step by step, I have seen a lot of users omited steps and claimed they did everything, but later report bug fixed by re-do the process step by step.
