# My game updated and now none of my mods are working!
Each time the game updates it is possible (and very likely) that your existing will stop working and need to be updated. The devs realized this, so when the game updates and you run it for the first time, everything in the folder is moved into the folder. Leave those plugins in there!
To get mods back, simply run the installer again.
The BeatMods repository only includes mods that have been confirmed to work on the latest version of the game!
