Do you have to but the toribash from the homepage for the mods to work?

Uh, could you rephrase that?

to get mods to work you have to put them in C:/Programfiles/Toribash2.1/data/mods

then the easy way is to open torilaunch and pick the mod from the list and hit start game.

but do you have to buy it off the homepage

ohh, i see, i dont think you have to buy trhe full version to play mods in single player, but im not sure.

no, it doesn't work...

it does work i have demo and have about 33 mods on it and they all work
