Subject: tModLoader Startup Error – System.IO.FileNotFoundException

Dear tModLoader Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue when trying to start tModLoader. Upon launch, I receive a fatal error message, and the program crashes. The error log indicates the following issue:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mods'.

It seems that the program is unable to locate or create the required directory. I have checked, and the folder does not exist. The full error message is visible in the attached screenshot.

I have tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:

Restarting my PC.
Verifying the integrity of the tModLoader files via Steam.
Manually creating the missing "Mods" folder.
Reinstalling tModLoader.
The client log file was generated in:
C:\VALLES\STEAM\Neuer Ordner\steamapps\common\tModLoader\tModLoader-Logs

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? Let me know if you need any additional information.

Best regards
