Install mods locally for games like: Stellaris, Hearts of Iron, Victoria
- Locate the mod dir for your game(create one if not exist)
- For newer games like victoria III, paste the mod dirs to the mod dir and you’re good to go
- For older ones including: HOI and Stellaris, files with .mod extension(you can copy the descriptor.mod from the mod dir) are needed, the path to the corresponding mod is required(or the launcher cannot find it, you can copy mod paths from path bar in file explorer, but the separator should be changed to /).
- This process(copy descriptor.mod and paste, change path inside the file and rename) can be automated with python script. Here is a reference.
- Restart the launcher and reload mods, if mods are installed correctly:
- We can now add mods to playlist
