Do mods disable achivements?

Not wondering about the unlimited money and stuff but the Paradox mods

I think some user created mods do disable achievements and I think this because I've seen a mod or two that are supposed to enable achievements when using user created mods. I've not tried any of them since achievements don't interest me.

Yes, mods disable achievements, But there is a mod to re-enable them.

Which so far, has done nothing at all for me! (But I haven't bothered loading any recent versions, so I might just try it again)

Not just mods disable Achievements, even the simple settings in map options like "Unlock all Tiles" does same. Crazy huh? a "Vanilla" option in a map and poof! "No Soup For You"!

The best way to learn the game is to aim for level 20 and snag all the achievements. Its the most challenging thing in the game. Only 0.2% of players have done it.

Wishing you a good week

thanks for the replies. Decided not to go for mods because I wanted to get all the achievements but some of them seem to be broken

I can tell you the game can never and will never be properly understood and will never be rewarding if you don't at least attempt a good run at Level 20 and all the achievements before you mod the crap out of it.

Either that or forever scream "Bug" out of ignorance of the game mechanics when something goes wrong. At the 0.2% success rate shown in "Global Achievements" it proves "Mod for that" or not it takes a great understanding of the game to join the club.

Only 5.7% of players have even made it to Level 20! Many seem to give up blaming the game for their failures......still.

As far as broken achievements; they were all possible before the last big patch when one of them was broken.

"Welcome, One and All!" is Unatanium right now due to a collapse in city tourists since that patch. It is the only one i cant get to pop (in this account) no matter how many different maps and cities I attempt.

At this point in my game i have great respect for both the Vanilla game AND the work the Modders have done to make it more interesting.

Things are always better when you take the time to learn, Game progression levels and achievements are the there for just that.

Just like driving, use these tools to learn learn, as not to blame the car for your first accident.

Achievements are a waste of time. Reason the % for the achievements are low is because most people play with mods (as the game is even more of a bore and clunky mess without mods) and don't care about getting credit for an achievement.

That is I the very theme of the post you just validated.
Those who can't do simply criticise those who do.

I think that says how little people care about achievements overall. Personally, I think it's a minority of players that care about achievements in games. I don't really care so if having achievements in games make players happy then so be it, it's the games that block some functions , features, maps from players because they did not meet an achievement is where I get upset.

Personally, some artificial "achievements" in a game mean nothing, and are just a distraction from the game. I suppose of you are a juvenile playing it, they may be welcome, but if there can be such a thing as an "achievement" in any game, it is that I have performed to the best of my abilities.
