Can people playing co-op with you see your mods?

can others see the mods you use?
will it break the game and not let you connect to others?

Depends on the mod. The expanded colors is already in the game so other players should be able to see it. As for actual texture mods, no. They would have to grab the data somehow. As for mods that mess with mechanics, I've had mostly bad luck unless the other player had the same mods as I did.

Edit: It's possible that textures can be seen by other players from the experience I had recently in coop.

It appears, from evidence in another thread, that your character's texture data is actually transmitted to the co-op player.

edit: That is unconfirmed, and it wouldn't make a lot of sense for it to be the case, so don't take this answer too seriously.

Yes, that is the most confusing part. I never heard of texture data being sent back and forth from player to player. As for mods that change mechanics in the game, it's an automatic CTD for me :/

It didn't break my game, but I what I experienced with the "makeup/clothing colour mod" was that when I had it installed and my co-op partner didn't anything I had coloured using the extra colours did not show up in his game. As I used custom colours for my makeup and for my shoes, in his game my character was running about with no head and no feet

I can second this. I was using custom skin colors and the co-op partner playing vanilla saw it fine.

It shows up in SR3, and it seems to be the same for SR4

I had problems seeing the character of one of my friends, i don't know if it was a bug during his connection to my game or because of the mods he was using.
Sadly i can't recall which mods he was using :\

here's what i saw, or rather didn't saw

That is hilarious.

I believe that's what happens when your co-op partner has chosen colors with a custom color mod that you don't have. Now, that might work differently from when they have custom textures installed.
