Use of local mods

[inTense RioTz]

I used to be able to use mods downloaded from armarholic in Arma 3. However, now whenever I try to get one into the launcher it always says 'There are no mods in this file. The mod is a pbo file and is in the addons folder. Am I doing something wrong?

What you should do:
Extract the mod Pbo's into a seperate Addons folder, then create a folder that starts with a @ and name it how you'd like, my recommendation would be to have it named after the mod so finding it will be easy.
After that you should be able to open the launcher and press the "Add Local Mod" (Or similar, can't really recall) and select the @ folder from there and voila, you've done it.

This is what the mod folder path should look like:
C:/ ---> Program Files (x86) ---> Steam ---> SteamApps ---> Common ---> Arma 3 ---> @Mod ---> Addons ---> (Pbo's here)

What you have done is mixed modded game content (Pbo's), with vanilla content in the Arma 3 addons folder. Not sure if this even works anymore but that's not good especially if the mod gets outdated.

I hope this helps, i can try to clear it up or help further if necessary.

Its a common problem. Usually goes away after a restart of your PC or if not then automatically inside 24 hours.
Other fixes do exist but wont help in most cases and might require unnecessary complicated ways to deal with it.

Tryverifying your game files if you feel lucky.

Can you delete the local mod folder after it's been installed to Arma?
