Mods ruined my game?

[MaKkino]

I messed with warband, downloaded the warhammer mod and overwritten a lot of files to install it now but i don't know how to delete it. I tried to uninstall the game and reinstall it but the game folders do not reset and remain contaminated by the mod, I tried to buy back the game but nothing, even with a new game I always have corrupted documents, or checked the files tried to delete everything from the folder before reinstalling it but nothing, I looked for solutions in the forums but it seems that nobody has had this problem, what can I do? Do I have to say goodbye to warband forever or do any of you know how to fix this disastrous situation?

If you can't find anyone having the same problem, I suggest you posting it yourself here. Someone will probably know the solution to it.

If you subscribed to the mod on the workshop you need to unsubscribe.

You should also go to the install location and manually delete any left over files after the uninstall. Steam will only delete the files that it created during the install.

I tried but it doesn't work, thanks anyway

Many mods will suggest how to remove or uninstall them.

You will likely need to completely uninstall it and reinstall, does the game happen to have Cloud Saves enabled? turn those OFF.

All mod use - ALL mods, including anything you find on the workshop - are use at your own risk, for exactly this reason. Always read comments and be aware of issues when you download mods.

Yup, the problem is with using mods is two fold.

First off, they're written by different people to the devs, so they may have wildly differing approaches to coding and where they bung files on your computer. Also, you can easily suffer from "keys to the sweetshop" like behaviour and lose track of what mods you have installed.

In short, it's not uncommon to be in your situation. What you should do is as others have told you here. Note which mods you DEFINITELY had installed and look them up, find out where their files are installed, even if you have to contact the devs of the mods themselves (I know, a long shot).

As Steam will only uninstall the ORIGINAL game files, it's dead easy to leave legacy files behind and cause the screw ups you're getting.

And lastly, it's a good idea when you have mods to install one, test it a fair bit, see how you get on, before cracking on with another, as it's so easy to get in a mess.

Thanks for the help I will be very careful from now on, I will try to search in other forums and write to the devs of the mod, or maybe I could also try to write to the steam support maybe they can restore all the original files and documents of the game without the ones corrupted by the mod, I have played a lot of mods for warband like awoiaf or last days of the third age, viking conquest and others but only with warhammer I had problems, we hope that on bannerlord I will have no difficulty

I wouldn't bother with Steam support as they won't do that. The best they'd be able to do is pass a message onto the devs, as the game and data is entirely the devs purview.
