Mod help - loads local but not once uploaded to steam

[TheRenegade]

OK, so way back in the day I made a whole bunch of custom starting systems. Stopped playing, just back into it. Updated the mod, it loads great locally, but won't load once I upload to steam.

What am I missing here? Why would it work locally, but not once on steam?

Thanks

How is your descriptor file set up?

 

[TheRenegade]

name="More Starting Systems"
path="C:/Users/Renegade/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod/more_starting_systems"
tags={
"Galaxy Generation"
"Gameplay"
}
picture="thumbnail.png"
supported_version="2.5.X"
remote_file_id="1147166873"

just confuses me how it works locally. I must be missing some easy step here

Hmm... what about "more_starting_systems.mod"?

 

[TheRenegade]

its identical.

Anyone have any ideas? Or maybe willing to test it on the steam workshop? Maybe for some reason it's broken for me.

It's a known "feature" of the Paradox launcher. A mod won't load from Steam directory if it exists in the local directory as well. Your mod is fine and your Steam version surely works. Playing with friends with a mod while writing a new version sucks though.

Fun feature..... I'll move it out and try. IK was wondering if that was going to be the thing. But its been a busy weekend with kids..

thanks

Just wanted to say yes, this was the issue.

Thanks... that's going to make updating things a little more "fun"
