I have a question about the placement of where the mods go.

In the mods folder there are package files and ts4script files. From what I'm understanding the package files can be placed in subfolders, but the ts4script files must be placed in the main Mods folder or they won't work. Is this correct?

  • Thank you. I'm trying to figure out what causes a mod to not work in a subfolder.

    It's my understanding that the ts4script files cannot be in subfolders, they need to be directly in the Mods folder. On the other hand, you can place .package files up to 4 folders deep.
  • ^ This. Scripts only work up to one folder deep. Ideally, put them all in a Scripts folder inside your Mods folder.
    Any further than that they won't work.

    Packages you can organize as you want.

    @happyopi Thank you very much. This is what I was trying to figure out. I'm starting to get quite a few mods, mainly to fix things that are not working correctly.
  • Do not separate package files from their .ts4script files. If a mod comes with both a package and a script place them together. Scripts can be nested up to one folder deep but should stay with the rest of their mod files!
  • I have my script files in subfolders and they all work just fine, e.g. Mods > MCCC
