Unshamed

Valheim 1.0 won't give you achievements if you run mods. Any mods. BepInEx marks the game as modded and the game treats that the same as cheating.

Unshamed makes achievements work again, shows you what every achievement actually wants, and can hand back the ones you already earned.

Client side only. Nothing needed on the server.

TL;DR

1. Install and play. Achievements count again.
2. Want to know what an achievement actually wants? Turn on Reveal Requirements and Guide Panel. Spoilers.
3. Played modded since 1.0? unshamed retro in the console (F5) lists what you already earned. unshamed retro apply takes them.

Achievement guide

Vanilla shows ??? / ??? for anything you haven't done, hides secret achievements, and the descriptions are one line. Both off by default, because spoilers. Turn them on in the config:

• Reveal Requirements: every achievement shows and opens, secret ones included. Every requirement shows its real name and your progress, unfinished ones at the top.
• Guide Panel: a panel beside the details explains in plain English what counts, what doesn't, and what difficulty it needs. That includes the rules the game never mentions, like Top of the World needing 5 of your own pieces stacked under it.
• Live info where it helps: comfort pieces and what's counting near you, pieces for each build tag, which berries, mushrooms and crops count, the axe each tree needs, distance left for the explorer achievements, your day streak.
• Lists come from what's loaded, so modded creatures, items and pieces show up where the game counts them.

unshamed guide writes all of it, with your progress, to BepInEx/config/Unshamed_achievements.md. Works with both off.

What it won't do

Unshamed changes one answer: Achievements.CanGetAchievements() returns true. It never clears a cheat flag.

• m_usedCheats, the Cheats stat and cheated world marks stay as they are.
• Spawned items still carry m_cheated, on your client and on a server.
• PlayerProfile.s_bypassCheatChecks is never touched.

Uninstall it and vanilla reads exactly what it always would have.

The vanilla command yesiuseddevcommandsbutiwantmyachievementsanyway also unlocks achievements, but it does it by turning off cheated item stamping for your character. Unshamed doesn't need it. unshamed status tells you if it's on, and yesiuseddevcommandsbutiwantmyachievementsanyway 0 turns it off.

The "achievements are disabled" warnings are reworded, since they aren't true with this installed. The console still knows you're modded, so no confirmcheats prompt.

Getting back what you earned

While you were modded, your stats only went into the raw bucket the game never checks for achievements. Retro copies them into the one it does, then lets vanilla decide what unlocks.

• unshamed retro lists what would unlock. Changes nothing.
• unshamed retro apply takes all of them. unshamed retro apply 1 3 or unshamed retro apply <id> takes only those. The ones you skip stay locked.

Only the Any difficulty is filled. Hard and Hardcore still need a real run. There's no undo, so preview first.

Config

Azumatt.Unshamed.cfg

• Enabled: master switch.
• Ignore Cheat Flags: the fix. Off puts you back to vanilla.
• Show Popups: unlock popups for retro grants. Off by default.
• Enable Retroactive: grant everything once on next load without asking. Off by default.
• Reveal Requirements: unhide secrets and ??? rows in the achievements panel. Off by default.
• Guide Panel: the explanation panel beside the details. Off by default.
• Force True / False Methods: emergency override if a game patch breaks something. Leave empty unless I tell you otherwise.

Caveats

• Nothing unlocks if you never did the thing. Vanilla still checks.
• Retro copies everything in the raw bucket, spawned items included. The game doesn't mark those rows, so I can't filter them out.
• 1.0.0 cleared m_usedCheats and the Cheats stat. That can't be undone, and no later version does it.
