Things to know about Valheim Hearth & Home

Hearth & Home launches for #Valheim tomorrow, and we expect many of you are very curious! Please take a moment to read this and maybe get some of your questions answered before it’s go-time! 

Valheim Hearth and Home will go live on September 16th. 

Your existing worlds will not be destroyed. The new content should be available there, but you will need to pick up some new ingredients (or drop the ones in your inventory and pick them up again), and explore new areas to access it. For the best experience we recommend you start a new world when you  have downloaded the update. 

Once a world or a character has been played using Hearth & Home, it will no longer work with the older versions of the game. 

Backing up  your old worlds is always a good idea, just in case!

If you're playing with mods, they will most likely not work with Hearth and Home right away. To make sure you're actually able to play when the update goes live, it's a good idea to (temporarily) remove your mods completely. If you get a Unity error while trying to launch the game, you have likely not removed all relevant mods. 

Be considerate! Some people want to find things out on their own, so be careful discussing spoilers!
