How do you activate steam mods?

[GoldRumble]

I installed a few mods from the workshop but non of them activate even though I checked their boxes in the mod manager thing before the game runs. any help?

[markeason]

I might be wrong but . . .

I have a feeling that you may have to select the mods in the manager then fire up the game to the menu screen, then exit the game and restart it. At this point the mods should be in and working.

I think you only have to do this the one time.

. . . like I say, I may be wrong.

If that doesn't work, come back with a list of the mods you have installed and I'll have another think.

I tried to do as you said but the result was the same, nothing. The mods are:
3 Skill Points Per Level for Agents
Sengoku Campaign Retexture
3 Skill Points per General Level
Extended Camera Minimod
GBJ Blood Mod: The Samurai Blood
Vastator Unit Style 1.3
Improved armor visuals
Expanded Japan (97 new regions, 101 new factions, 22 playable factions)
12 turns per Year - For Shogun 2 and RotS

I really dont get it why they dont update the game to start with the new total war launcher.

As someone who spam a whole lot of mods in one time*(around 10-15 hehe)

Here are some of my perspective
1.vastor unit style *uck up with improve armor visual solution >> pick one of these u like the most and discard the other
2. 12 turn per year fuc* up with expanded Japan >>solution there is expanded mod with 12 turn combine together with one mod

If u plan to use a lot of mod here my some suggestions

1.make sure the important one or the one that got dominated come first
And start the game and quit and if u ask me how can u tell that the mod one is the important or got easily dominated by the others well this come out from solely experience I’m sorry

2.add the others sub-mod*(aka unique one that rarely got overwrited data by another) as u please and start the game

Have fun

Ok.

I just loaded them up and they seem to be ok. All except the blood mod as I don't have the blood DLC which is required - it just ain't my thang :)

So, all I can suggest is to unsubscribe from the mods.
Delete the ModManager App from the game folder.
Verify your game files and it will download the ModManager App.
Subscribe to one of the mods and see if that fixed it.

So the Extended Japan mod is only for the S2 Campaign, and it is already at 12 turns per year.
So the 12 turns per year mods may be causing a problem.
If you are wanting to play ROTS at 12 turns per year, turn off the Extended Japan.

just to let you guys know. i tried the things you said and non of it worked. i guess ill just have to play the game with out mods. thanks for trying though

[king of madness]

im having the exact same issue with darthmod the mod just wont enable even when i have it selected in the mod manager

[Dovah]

At least y'alls mod manger is showing up, mine isn't! It just starts the game up with the mods I have currently enabled. I can't even go back to uncheck them if I wanna play a vanilla multiplayer game.

Mod manager does not work right now, and unless you know programming, or at least an OG gamer, then you are gonna have to wait son!

man.... I really do not get the point of these updates that just ruin a game for everyone that wants to enjoy it 10+ years later

I managed to get it back by just activating the "linux-pre-2022-update" beta, but if that doesn't work for you:
