Game not loading steam mods

[Brumes Wolf]

Since the new launcher my mods(Mods made by me) Don't work properly. When I load the local version located in the document/paradox/etc they work fine, but when I load the steam workshop versions they do nothing, the game stays vanilla. Steam downloads the mods fine. But I have noticed that my mods are not in .bin files. While others are.

I'm pretty lost on this, I think it might be something i'm doing wrong because of the lack of complaining by people about no mods working, so some people must've figured it out. But I have no idea why the mod is being submitted and downloaded correctly but simply refuses to activate.

Just to be clear, this only affects mods you've made? Not others?

If so please post in the User Mods forum, thanks!

I don't have any mods that are updated for the current version. But a mod for the previous version works fine, but so did mine before I updated them.
I have posted about this on the user mods forum before, but not gotten any answers. Just like several other people asking the same thing.
The mods work fine, but after they have been trough steam they no longer activate.
This seems to be a problem with the new launcher.
In short, the problem does not lie with the mod itself, wich works fine. But with the game not activating it for some reason.

They put a fix for incompatible mods in 2.4.1 I believe - is the problem any different now?

When was this released, I can't seem to find a version number anywhere on the launcher

My apologies, I got my games mixed up - that was Stella.

EU4 is now 1.29.2 released 2 weeks ago. The only modding change in it is the warning for incompatible mods was moved from th egame to the launcher.

I don't know enough about modding to see why a mod can work for you but not when uploaded to Steam, but I do know some changes are made automatically in the mod posting process. Please post in the User Mods forum, I'm sure they can help!

I posted in the user mod forum, nobody responded, so I assume they have no idea either. Is it possible for someone here to help me, or can I post a bug report somewhere specifically for the launcher?

Is the British music pack one of your mods that doesn't work when you install it through steam? I tested it and it worked for me(at least I could play Rule_Britannia). So it is maybe just a problem of your local version of the mod interfering with the steam version.
Does the steam version of your mod work if you move your local version(mod file and directory) to another place so that the launcher doesn't find it anymore?

I will try that and report back
