Do mods work at all in Steam?

[Galactor123]

Alright, I've tried a few things, and talked on the C.O.R.E website as well about this, but I cannot for the life of me find out a way to fix this.

I am trying to install C.O.R.E on top of the Hearts of Iron II Complete Edition from Steam. The problem is I don't know where to install it. I have installed it to the main folder, no dice; the shortcut that CORE itself makes to launch it doesn't work.

I have also installed it into the doomsday folder... still no dice. It simply launched Hearts of Iron 2 both times when I used the shortcut.

So heres my questions: How do I launch Armageddon without using steam? Or, conversely, how do I launch a mod through steam? Or, failing that, where the hell do I install this thing, and how do I run it?

Steam App Locations

In steam your apps are located in:

Program Files/Steam/Steam Apps/common/game_name/...

you can do normal stuff with these file folders, for instance with for the glory I have installed mods by using:

Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steam Apps/common/for the glory 2 - a europa universalis two game/mods/modname here

If the installation is at all similar you will have to install the specific mod folder in the mods folder, and place a textfile that identifies that folder as a mod in the mods directory. Hopefully someone who has used HoI2 in steam can give you more info if this doesn't work.

I've gotten CORE working on steam, just put everything in the right folders, it should work
