mods dont show up please help

[Hammond]

ive asked many people on a modding discord but i got ridiculed, hoping you guys can help me. so basically my mods arent showing up and i dont know why. I deleted the TW WH2 folder just to make sure and i redownloaded warhammer2 and still even the most basic of mods dont show and i dont know why. I installed Kaedrins mod manager but it was not working so i deleted it completely, only when i got KMM everything went crazy, was it that? Im desperately trying everything...also where are the mods located so i can manually delete them and redownload them? i cant find info anywhere

No way you got ridiculed in C&C Modding Den discord. It's one of the most friendly communities I've seen.

yup, validated, uninstalled and reinstalled, do you know where the mods are saved tho?

[Hammond]

when i go in game it says modded in the upper right but nothing is popping up

[mweilbuchner]

wait!

you are trying to manage your mods from within the game?

you are aware that the mod manager is located in the launcher, right?

Yup, make sure the mods are enabled in the launcher. They are not on by default.

Did you subscribe them on the workshop or manually downloaded from somewhere else? If you got them on the workshop, check your data folder and there should be .pack files corresponding to the mods. If there are, they should show up in KMM (as long as you ensure that KMM has the correct path for Warhammer 2). If they're still not showing up, there are a few different things you can do:

1) Go to C:\users\*username*\AppData\Kaedrin Mod Manager and open the mod_manager_settings_v2.xml with the text editor of your choice (I use Notepad++). find the line that says Game ExePath= and make sure it has the proper address of your warhammer2.exe file. Mine looks like this: "<Game ExePath="C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War WARHAMMER II" AppId="594570" ExeName="Warhammer2">Warhammer2</Game>"

2) If the path is correct, and KMM is still not picking up mods, go to C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer2\scripts and create a text file called user.script.txt
Open it and add your mods like: mod "*modname*.pack"; Make sure to use the ".." and the ;
For eg, you want to add a mod that's called unitfile.pack, you will add mod "unitfile.pack"; in the user.script.txt file.

Doing this SHOULD get the mods to show up, though ususally subscribing them on the workshop is enough.

It's not in the downloaded folder. I've put the path to where this folder in supposed to be (in your Appdata folder). You need to run KMM for it to appear though. It's generated after that, not on download.
