how mods works on steam?

[hide]

Hey guys, I want to install some mods for my games (from NexusMods), and I have a few questions.

1. Will I still be able to earn Steam achievements if I have mods installed?
2. Is there a risk of my game files getting corrupted or losing my saves? If so, how can I prevent it?
3. Can I install mods in games that support online mode? For example, GTA V has both single-player and multiplayer. If I install a mod for single-player, is there a chance that the game's anti-cheat system will detect it as a cheat and ban me

1. Depends on the game.

2. Yes. Make backups constantly.

3. You can do that just fine in GTA V.

1. Depends on the game. The mod itself or the game should state if achievements are affected by such actions.

2. Once again, it depends on the game. Every mod and game is different and they can impact in a variety of ways.

3. Some games support online modding to a degree but others don't. Call of Duty titles will ban users for virtually any modding if you connect to an anti-cheat protected server with these even sitting on your system. If you go down this way, do your research first.

1, Yes you should still get achievements.
2. No there shouldnt be any risk to your save files, but always best to back them up just incase.
3. Depends on game devs, so best to check with the game first to see if mods are allowed.
