Looking For Some Help On Modding

So I have a few questions. I've got a simple mod added in and I know when you activate them and then go into making match it gets rid of all generation presets but default. Was just wondering if anyone knows a way around that. The main problem though is the mod I have is to increase trait poits for creating a custom faction for me and my friends to use. However whenever they are present in the lobby as soon as you select the custom faction it defaults you to wild walkers. If i create a custom faction but don't edit anything it dosen't do this but if you create one and edit the traits i can select it but as said it defaults you to wild walkers.

Any help and insight is appreciated thanks~

Are you defaulting to the WW before or after you get to the map?

This might seem trivial, but have you enabled the check-box on the setup screen to enable custom faction?

Here's a picture to explain what I mean.

Defaulting to the WW? But yeah it's definitely enabled and i figured that at first too but unchecked custom factions are greyed out and cannot be selected mine can be selected and they stay when it's only me but when a friend joins it auto puts me to (wild walkers ... oh WW<~~ my bad just realized) WW also my friends don't need the mod aswell do they? and to the first question now understanding no I default to random

Too restate and make sure I can play this as solo and works fine one thing i haven't tried is setting the game up and launching then inviting my friend only downside to that even if it worked is they wouldn't have a choice where their capitol goes but if my friend gets on i'll give it a try unless you wish to help at anytime feel free to add me on that steam

Yes, everyone involved will need the mod in order to play with it. I'm not too familiar with multiplayer, but your friend's client might detect that the faction breaks 'the rules' and revert you to one that qualifies.

ahh that would be the problem then cool i'll just need them to get it which kinda sucks but oh well makes sense i had a feeling. Yeah i also figured that's what it was because i believe it only did it if the faction went over their default base for the vanilla but never tested much with that.

Also do you know how to fuse mods since you can only have one at a time?

You'll have to do it yourself (work on a mod, based on a mod for instance), as it's not possible indeed to have more than one mod at a time. We'll look into adding this possibility though.

As said, you have to do this manually. Essentially you just stick all the stuff together and label it as a single package. You have to be careful, though, as some mods can have contradictory data which can cause strange bugs. There's no formal process in EL yet, like the "load order" in TES games.
