i thought it deleted everything my first time!! (although the thorium and termor mods are so cool i literally didnt care, plus im a pro so i had some backups :) however, if you want to use your vanilla characters you can simply access your player folder within the FILES folder shortcut and copy and paste the characters or worlds you want into your modded FILES folder (always copy paste never click and drag!!) i dont suggest doing it the other way around lol. this also creates the 'ModLoader' folder inside your 'GAME folder' A MAJOR note : as i mentioned in the first step, modded characters and worlds are saved sepparately, this means when you first run modded terraria you will have no worlds or characters. after that you can run the game again and start dowloading mods! ill get to that next section. one last step: when you run the modded game for the first time, exit at the main menu before opening any menus, to finalize set-up. you could even run them at the same time if youre feelin crazy. if you run the game via steam, or the regular terraria.exe in your GAME folder, you will be running vanilla, you can make a shortcut to this as well, for playing with unmodded friends etc. this will be how you launch modded terraria. now all you do is simply copy the contents of the tmodloader folder (not the folder itself, all the files inside) and paste them in your GAME folder!! youve just installed tmodloader! make a shortcut to your newly installed TerrariaMOD.exe (from within the GAME folder NOT the Tmodloader folder), and place in your resources folder (or desktop, or both). now open your new TMODLOADER folder and change the name of the terraria.exe file (i use terrariamod.exe so ill be calling it that, but you could name it tmodloader.exe or whatever you want) i know this seems like a lot but you are 90% done!! and these steps make everything easier in the end. go back to your resources folder from step 1 and create a folder called ' TMODLOADER ' unzip everything to that new folder. youll now have a.zip file containing all the files you need.

here is a link to the tmodloader files on the official terraria forum: scroll down to the DOWNLOADS section and click on the steam version (windows obviously) warning: if you dont know how to unzip files ill just say you have no buisiness modding, but, google it. alrighty! feel the cleansing power of organization wash over you as we get ready for the next step in our journey. i also keep my player and world backups in this folder(a practice every hard-core player should get used to), and since i create mods and use lots of other tools, its very useful to have everything i need in one place.

create a shortcut to this location, rename it something like 'shortcut-playerfiles' or whatever you prefer ***once you are modded, there will be a new folder here called 'ModLoader' inside that you will find an identiclal version of the FILE folder containing player, world, etc folders, but empty, as tmodloader runs off a different location to prevent contamination (more on that later) you now have your resources folder with two shortcuts, this will make life much easier, we will add a few more things to it soon. C:\Users\**your name**\documents\my Games\Terraria i will refer to this folder as 'FILE folder' - remember that too! this is where all player files, world files, screenshots. create a shortcut to this location, and add it to your resources folder, rename the shortcut (the other folder has the same name in a different place so we dont want to get mixed up) (i name mine 'shortcut-engine') this is where tmodloader will be installed. you will see the terraria.exe and a bunch of.dll files and junk. C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\terraria i will refer to this folder as 'GAME folder' - remember this this folder contains the game itself, the 'engine' so to speak. there are two terraria folders that are important and youll be accessing often, so we are going to add shortcuts to them - in our resources folder. now on to the guide!: Firstly!: create a new folder on the desktop (or wherever you would like, and can access easily) name it what you like (i name mine terrariastuff lol) ill refer to this as your 'resources' folder were gonna put stuff in it.
