Mods dont load

[gianlucad]

Hi,
I've deleted the mod folder from the EU4 documents folder, the mods show up on the paradox launcher but even if I enable them from the launcher they do not load in game. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Regards.

Have these mods been updated to work under 1.29 yet?

No but they should still load. I have checked and not a single mod loads, regardless of if its just an event mod, a music mod, or whatever else.

There's a current bug that affects a handful of people like that - except it's DLCs not mods. I wonder if this is the same issue ... do your DLCs appear in the game okay?

Ah yes I forgot to say, I noticed when I tried disabling DLCs like the Epistles or songs of Yuletide that they remain on. Seems like my game is stuck on "full vanilla" mode where all the DLCs that I own always being active but I cannot activate mods either.


Other than that the game runs fine.

Okay well here's what fixed the DLC issue for at least some people:

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-EU4
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/EU4 AND Documents/Paradox/EU4 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add EU4.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam EU4 or Documents EU4 locations, before installing again.
