[Guide] How to install mods for Aftermath (updated 11/01)

[Dash]

For the moment the Steamworkshop it's not available.

To download my mods (and others) for Surviving the Aftermath, go to : Paradox Mods[mods.paradoxplaza.com]

Download Manually the mods, currently don't use Subscribe button this one doesn't work.
Put the .mod file in the Aftermath folder in "My Documents":
C:\%USER%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Surviving the Aftermath\Mods (If this folder doesn't exit, create it).

Now, launch the game and enable the mods in the manager.


Becarful
If you need to reload your savegame during the same game session, you need to reload completely the Game.

Issues
If you have various issues to play with the mods, try to remove these files in: C:\%USER%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Surviving the Aftermath
content_load.json
mods_registry.json

If you need more help there is my Discord :

for some reason my mods won't stick, if i quit to main menu to make a new game, they don't work/appear, even though i can see them checked in the mods menu? i have to quit to desktop and re-enable them to get them to work again?

Thank you! Was trying to play with your mods and was wondering why I hadn't seen any a few hours in haha

Currently there is an issue with the mod manager, to start a new game with the mods you need to exit the game and relaunch it, enable each mod and start a new game.
If you need to reload your savegame during your session, you need to close the Game and relaunch it.

Thank you. Maybe we can get this into the guides section so it doesn't get lost?

I tried but visibly it's impossible to create guide for the moment. When I try to create the guide I have this message : "access denied".

my path isn't quite the same but i created a folder 'mods' within the folder 'surviving the aftermath' but no mods show up in the mod manager. I got surviving the aftermath from steam and there's no parent folder for paradox. Thoughts?

[caseyy]

When you use Paradox Launcher to get MOD,that create mod folder "C:\%USER%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Surviving the Aftermath\Mods\pdx_1439\".
But this game only detect file "xxx.mod" in the "C:\%USER%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Surviving the Aftermath\Mods\".

I liked all your Surviving Mars mods, can't wait to see what you do with this game! Thanks.

I just can't get mods to work no matter what, it's quite depressing.

I can't log in to the official website, I can't download mods

Can you repost the Discord link? It has now expired and I'd love to join!

I appreciate your work btw. I'm attempting to add mods to an ongoing save - they were fine in the previous save I was doing and I stupidly forgot to turn them back on when I started a new save... ooof.

Okay! The link is updated :)

Well, installing the mods manually works fine and the options appear in the game ... but each time I load a savegame (done with the mods activated) all my colonists are gone. Anyone else facing the problem ?
