How do you install mods on steam?

[S3B]

I'm trying to play the game with mods, bigger islands, more tools, but there is NO tutorials on YouTube, Reddit or anything on how to install mods on Anno 1800 steam 2023, can anyone help?

Its simple really

- Download and install the mod loader https://github.com/xforce/anno1800-mod-loader/releases (install instruction at readme)
- Create a new folder at the game main folder, name it "mods"(\Steam\steamapps\common\Anno 1800\mods)
- Download the mod you want from nexus or other place such as github and put the mod in your mods folder.

Done.

Also getiModYourAnno from gridhub, some older mods from nexus might not work with your build and the program helps with mod management
