Can't install mods

[kellypsharpe]

I have already looked at the Guide on Installing Mods, but I cannot find the "SteamLibrary" folder. I have searched both of my drives for it, but it doesn't seem to exist. Any ideas on how to find out where Steam is housing my mods on my PC? Thanks so much!

Steam has nothing to do with mods for this game. Mods are handled ingame. Just go to the main menue and then to Mods. It will show you the Paradox mod page where you can download the mods you want AND put into a playset. After that you will have to restart the game and the mods are there.

Thanks for your help. I've downloaded a couple of mods - which are zip files. I don't know what folder to extract them into. The Guide said the folder was under "SteamLibrary", but I can't find that folder. Will Cities Skylines II look in my downloads folder for the mods?

[Caprea]

No.
Where did you get the mods from?

In the start there had been mods stored on other sites. But beside perhaps Github and maybe if a modder has his own website for mods, I suppose those to be found on other pages are not up to date anymore.

[kellypsharpe]

Paradox Mods. Manually.

I think my biggest concern is that the guide here on Steam mentions a folder that I can't find.

[kellypsharpe]

Here is what the guide says:
Locate Your Cities: Skylines 2 Directory: Open your file explorer and navigate to your Cities: Skylines 2 installation directory. Typically, this is located in something like "...SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines II"

I do not think I ever had a subfolder like that, not even for Cities Skylines 1.

What guide is that?

Are you on LINUX? I have no experience with that.

I'm on a PC running Windows 10. It's the guide here on Steam by Siggi: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3069519710

And thank you for taking the time to help me :-)

That guide is outdated.

And the site mentioned there with paradox in the name is NOT from Paradox.

If you downloaded from there, delete the downloads and get the mods from the main menue.

Start the game, go into the the Paradox Mods link on the main menu. Select the mods you want, and just let the game install them wherever it wants to.
If you want a bit more control, and a good source of info about Mods, download Skyve (from PDX Mods or direct from the web, and install it. That will allow you to install, delete, add to playsets, and see which mods have been reported to the team that run Skyve about any Mods that are causing problems for some people (so that you can avoid them completely until they're fixed).
Good luck. Oh, in case you aren't aware, wjth CS2 you need to add Mods that you want to use to a playset (see Skyve), and make it Active (you can have as many different playsets as you want, but only one can be active at a time.
