Mods won't show up in game. Please help

[BasedGrievous]

I can load up the game just fine but every time i do not a single seems to be in the actual game. I've been searching for hours for a way to fix this, not even the alternate mod launcher has helped and i am on my second redownload as well. I really love this game but this issue practically makes it unplayable for me. Please help!

I don't even want to play vanilla XCOM firaxis fix this b*******

Hello
I think there is problem with native mod launcher.
You need to DL alternative mod manager for now. It make my mods work again.

I've been using alternative mod launcher but it doesn't fix my problem. Am i doing something wrong?

Yes.
You need to find the steam workshop mods in your steam folder, it look something like this:
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\268500

Note that 268500 is steam ID for xcom2.

you then see folders with all your subscribed items. they have no names they are just ID numbers.

you need to COPY these folders into your Mods folder in

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\XComGame\Mods

If you have no folder under XComGame you must make one.

Its problem with steam and launcher locating mods. Dumb developers!!!

if u have mods from nexus or wherever (not on steam) you just past them/extract them to the Mods folder

Everytime i try the mod folder it seems to mess everything up by making two versions of all the mods every time

Try more slower this time.

You are using alternative mod launcher ?? You do what I put in previous message then you should see mod options appearing in AML... We are at this step yet?

I have done everything right but for some reason the game isn't launching correctly. Is is supposed to take a while to load up or did I break it, because it is in a window w/ "(not responding)" in the corner?

So, i'm not alone with this problem at least. :( Soooo annoying, they are giving us such a nice launcher and then everything is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. So ridiculous.

Where do i get the alternative mod launcher?

The Problem is the launcher. this link to a alternativ launcher helps. by me it works perfekt. https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/releases/tag/v1.3.2

I try that but I don't know how to open the launcher. I can't find an .exe file.

yes, the game will take longer to launch, and can even register as '(Not Responding)'

BE PATIENT

let it load.

If you people would actually read the forums, there are TONS of responses on how to fix it using the ModLauncher file. We are almost all sick of responding to the same question over and over, when we've already responded to it 200times

You dont even need to alternative mod launcher to make the mods work, EVEN FOR WOTC

Poopin, its pretty easy. unzip the file on your desktop. start steam, open the launcher folder on your desktop, start the "XCOM2 Launcher".
