I think it was in A14 they made the change so that only mods with version in their manifest set to 2 load, so it probably won’t even load. You could change that manually, but it probably won’t work as a lot of things have changed with the game and with mods since then. Just have to wait until next Candledark, I suppose 🎃

I believe the biggest change between A12 and now is the way Hearthling’s heads and hats are handled. I saved a backup copy of 13 which I know ran Candledark just for that reason.
