Description of problem
Game creates odd folder for mods, bricks/breaks mods

What platform are you playing on?
Steam

What game version are you running?
1.0.0

Please select any/all DLC you have enabled.

Epirus flavor pack

Do you have mods enabled?

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
So I have documents re-assigned to my D drive, which I believe causes the issue.

When I downloaded a mod on steam, it didn't work. It shows up in mods but choosing it does nothing. It does work for my friend though. Was odd I thought, looked in the usual place for mods

D:\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Imperator

Mods folder is missing. But everything else is here. Save games, cache etc. So Imperator: Rome is in fact using the proper folder as all games do.

Using directory monitor I discovered that, for whatever reason, the game makes an entirely new documents folder to store mods in. Mods that don't or can't function.

Game created this: C:\Users\Yuri\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Imperator\mod

Note that "Documents" is a folder that didn't exist in my C drive due to me re-assigning it via windows to the D drive to save on C drive space. So the game just went off and created it. This has never been an issue with any other game or program. Works perfectly fine with CK2 even.

I assume the mods folder is an absolute path? I don't know.

Either way this completely breaks mods, they don't work at all regardless of what I tried. I tried placing them in the D drive documents folder et cetera.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
I assume you need to have a re-assigned Documents folder? https://www.pcworld.com/article/302...braries-to-a-separate-drive-or-partition.html
