How do you install mods from Nexus for steam?

When I go to the module folder none of my mods are there, but they show up in the launcher and work fine in game. I am trying to add one not in the workshop from Nexus, I have a feeling steam is storing the workshop files in another location but no idea where?

You can google the path. There's a folder that I think is:

Steam --> steamapps --> workshop --> content

You should see folders with a bunch of numbers. Those are your games, so you'll need to find the one that matches your game. No idea which that might be.

If you're downloading a mod from the Nexus, put that folder in the Modules folder for Bannerlord. It won't work placing it in the workshop folder.

Or use Mod Organizer 2, since it can plug directly into the game and draw from both its own mod directory and steam's mod directory simultaneously.

Just install it, tell it where Bannerlord is, then install the mods through MO2. As long as you launch bannerlord from Mod Organizer 2 then the mods will show up just fine. And this way you don't have to worry about updates breaking things either.

Mods from nexusmods go into the module folder regardless of if you play the steam version or not

I had this working once before but don't remember what I did. I see the content folder with all the mods, this the one from nexus has no directions. Do I need to make a folder for it with numbers? I put the mods in the correct folder and they don't appear on the mod list.

Just got the GOG edition because I am so sick of steam. Was able to get this mod launcher working.

But it doesn't see any of the mods, I am placing them in the correct folder. Going to try this with the GOG edition, steam is likely the problem here. If you care about mods then I think doing it through Nexus is the best way as suggested above, so your mods don't get auto updated and break the game.
