many mods suddenly malformed cant play please help

[pervygamer]

not very long ago a lot of my mods have given a warning saying "Malformed (correct format is Major.Minor) version string on mod insert mod name "1.0.2096" - parsed as "1.0"
and an error message  "<targetVersion> in mod About.xml is deprecated! Use <supportedVersions> tag instead. (example: <supportedVersions><li>1.0</li></supportedVersions>)"
i cant load or start a new game anymore and my favorite mods are giving the errors i would greatly appreciate  it if someone can help or point me in the right direction.
here is the log from github

ps im new so im not sure if it will stay up

[Canute]

not very long ago a lot of people got an update of Rimworld.
https://ludeon.com/blog/2019/01/1-0-update-brings-multi-version-mod-support/

Basicly all these mod's need an update to avoid this warnings.
But the mods still works.
You could revert Rimworld ot the older version, but then other updated mod will give you these warnings.

[pervygamer]

I see thank you, theoretically can I manually edit all the about.xml files and bypass the warnings right? I'll still have to rexamine my modlist and disable new ones till I find the culprit thats stopping my game since the update isn't the thing that broke it. Thank you

[Canute]

Yes you can manualy edit them, not very difficult.
Basicly you can use cut&paste.

I oversaw that you got another problems.

ReflectionTypeLoadException getting types in assembly FactionManager_SetUpCamp:

from the mod description:

Code Select Expand

Just make sure to load it after Faction Manager and SetUpCamp.

Not sure what is going wrong with UseBedrolls, maybe you should ask at the mod topic.

[pervygamer]

It might be because of the load order they are in the right order but one is close to the top while the others are close to the middle with plenty of mods in between because in previous attempts to fix my game I reformed my entire modlist a few times normally core mods like psychology is close to the top with quality of life mods near the bottom then after awhile of playing and reading error messages throughout a play session id move mods around. But I didn't do it very good this time.
   After editing and removing some mods ill try again and if it still doesn't work I'll be back with a new error log thank you again

[pervygamer]

i disabled new mods and still got an error during world generation the related error is at the bottom of the log

[pervygamer]

update: i got the game working and ill list the mods that i disabled and mention which mods i Believe  had incompadability issues with other mods

UseBedrolls
FactionManager_SetUpCamp
these two had an incompadibility as soon as i disabled use bed rolls the error for both disappeared.

Red-PrepCarePawnsim pretty sure this one actually was incompadible with prepare carefully the mod it was made for.

Disasters: Tornado
Dubs Mint Menus
Blighted Alert
Dubs Rimkit

Grand Rivers Reborn< this mod might have stopped world generation

Toggles
Kurin, The Three Tailed Fox< incompadible with prep carefully< such a shame

[Canute]

Glad you managed it so far.
If you still got red text after Rimworld start, you maybe should try to remove them too.
Any error increase the chance that you got a critical error later during gameplay, and something don't work like it should.
Yellow text are warning and not that worse.

You should check your mods about required mods again.
i saw Trading Economy, that mod need ADVANCED ANIMALS FRAMEWORKS before.
Kurin and Dragonians need the Alien Framework.

[pervygamer]

Yeah I got the alien framework enabled now thanks for reminding me about the animal framework tho ill enable it after I get back from work. Thank you for your help.

Could not load def ReproductiveOrgans

ReproductiveOrgans, hmm has something to do with sex or children.
One mod you use Alien Children Compatibility got requirement
HugsLib , Humanoid Alien Races 2.0 , Children, school and learning
You realy should check all your mod's one by one if there isn't missing something else.

Now begins your fine tuning of your modlist. 250 mod's are quiet alot, not the record that is around 450 i think, but that one need around 1 hours to start Rimworld.
Your Rimworld internal start at last 3 times, because of some error, that extend the loading times too.

I saw many errors with the DrugPolicy, which could lead to problems later when your pawn's should use drugs at their own.
DubsBadHygiene got an error, which is unusual because that mod is known as pretty stable, so i think some interfere with some other mod.

I wish your good luck with that.
Maybe you should start with some much smaller modlist, with the basic mods. So you know they are working.
And then extend them with new races,weapons....
Then you notice early when some mod cause trouble.
