Sometimes when a new versio of SoaSE comes out, they change the way the game files are read by the game, usually to allow for new options or features to be implemented. Sadly, when this happens it also renders all previous mods to be incompatable, even if it just added one more line to say the entity files. So all the mods need to be updated in the new format (which usually isn't to hard, just time consuming). And again sadly, their is no collection for currently compatible mods, but if the mod is still being worked on you should find the updated version avaliable from its thread on the mods forum.

I have created a mods updater for sins AND entrenchment, but it ONLY will work with the versioned mods folders versions of sins and entrenchment ie sins 1.15,1.16 to 1.17 AND entrenchment 1.01,1.02 to 1.03.

 I suggest getting my mods utilities pack from this thread.

 I wrote it because of the SAME problem in that I like the mods I have installed and wanted to keep playing them with the latest patches to sins & entrenchment.

for real capital ships Grottenolm85 has released his real capitalships mod for 1.16 which should work in 1.15 & 1.17 as there was no significant changes in the files from 1.15 to 1.17 that I was able to locate.
