Mods not working since Castle Update

[GhostAssassin989]

As above, I have been unable to have a single mod work since that update months ago. Uninstalled/reinstalled game and mods, deleted all files pertaining to CK3 and reinstalled them, did a thing I found with granting CK3 permission through the firewall and setting exception paths through my antivirus (Windows Security), and a few other fixes I found and tried months ago but can't remember.

Mod will change checksum (no achievements even w/ ironman) and appear in a list if I host a multiplayer game, and one mod (Pantheon of the Gods) will change the loading screens sometimes. Otherwise, no presence within the options and mechanics of the actual game.

If any of the above attempted fixes seems like a good answer where I may have missed something, feel free to ask/advise! I'm pretty desperate at this point...

Edit: If I rolled the version back to the version just before Castle, the mods would work slightly but be broken, since they had been updated for Castle already.

I use about 30 mods and they all work without problems. Most of them are downloaded and installed manually ie not subscribed from steam workshop.
Most mod creators allow downloading of older versions which can be found on the respective mod page.

Lets try a quick check.

Can you remove all mods and see if this simple mod works? I would suggest upgrading game to most recent version, but if not, I believe the mod author has earlier versions of their mods if you search for them.

Just tried one (Vampirism & Lycanthropy) and removed all the other mods to remove the chances of them interfering with it. I downloaded it from paradox, unzipped the file in the CK3 > mod folder, and activated it in the launcher. It doesn't even change the checksum this way. Am I missing something with the manual download process? I've never done it this way before.

Didn't work. Again, this has been for every mod I've tried, probably over 20, of varying degrees of complexity over the few months from both paradox and steam. Just tried the manual download thing, and it showed up in the launcher, but I may be missing or messing up a step with that. I asked the other person about it.

So, what's next?

Are you sure you installed correctly?
Here is a video showing the procedure.

Well, I only missed every step between downloading it and putting it into the mod folder lmao. I had looked at an online guide that did not go into editing the descriptor and merging the other unzipped files into one. Thank you SO MUCH!!!
