Mods keep getting deleted

[ayothepizza]

For some reason, my mods keep getting deleted. Every once in a while, when I boot up KSP, the dll files for all the mods are just gone, I cannot find them anywhere and it's starting to get annoying to re-install all my mods on a pretty heavy save, does anybody know why this happens or a fix for this? Here's the log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BXrfkF9hE4OkokEcYpfAEAmdqZU4SqGu/view?usp=sharing and thanks!

Are you on Steam? Do you have cloud saving enabled? That might be the cause.

Do you have an antivirus active scan or something enabled? I doubt it but it might flag them as harmful.

Yeah I did have cloud saving enabled, that is probably it (and no I checked it wasn't antivirus) thanks!

A word of advice- don’t ever puts mods in the copy of KSP that Steam has control over, it just loves to meddle with it and causes issues like this.

Instead, clear your mods, make a copy of the entirety of KSP (steam/steam apps/common/Kerbal Space Program) and save that somewhere else, then put your mods in the copy. Leave the Steam version to get game updates while your modded versions are kept safe from Steam’s meddling- you can have many different copies of KSP at once, on different game versions and with different sets of mods in each, but if you’re going down this route then CKAN is strongly recommended to keep track of everything.
