modlist.txt Format [#modlisttxt-format]

One mod per line, prefixed with `*`:

```
*ModName1.pak
*ModName2.pak
*AnotherMod.pak
```

**Load order matters** — first line loads first. Some mods require specific ordering (check mod descriptions).

Important Notes [#important-notes]

* **All players must have the exact same mods** in the same order
* Mod mismatches are the #1 connection issue — see [Troubleshooting](/docs/conan-exiles/fix-issues)
* After game updates, mods may need updating before they're compatible
