Do steam achievements re-enable after removing mods?

[Beaker]

This question may have been answered already, but if I remove the mods from my saved game, will steam achievements re-enable, or do I need to start a new game?

Once game is flagged as modded/cheated there is no way to re-enable achievements. You either need to start a new game or load a save before mods were added or console commands used.

Incorrect. This is only the case if you have used a console command beginning with "c/" ~ this permanently* blocks both ingame cheevies and steam cheevies. (*Can only be undone with a complicated & risky manual edit of the save file.)

But if you start a modded game & play a while, save & exit, then remove the mods: you can once again earn steam cheevies on that world. Yes, this can be used to "cheat", but there are much easier methods to cheat steam cheevies already (like using the achievement unlocker app).

Thank you for the replies. Greatly appreciate it. Good to know that you can still get them without starting over. I have not used any console commands.

good thing about /c console commands, it will warn you the first time forcing you to re-enter it after the warning.
