Steam How To Subscribed Mods

I'll try and see what happens. This seems like an awful workaround though. Steam needs to fix this ASAP. EDIT: Tried that. It seemed to redownload the content but Civ 5 still doesn't see any mods installed. The MODS folder in /MyGames/ where they should be is empty. Does steam place it somewhere else? (is there a temp folder for steam workshop?). Having to manually uninstall steam workshop subscriptions can be a BITCH, so I found this code on a forum post, tested it, and it works perfectly -. Aug 14, 2014 Add all subscribed items to Steam Collections at once Tips Hi guys, While playing multiple save games at once, each one with its own set of workshop assets and mods, I was really annoyed by the fact that you can only add subscribed items to your collections manually. Mar 15, 2013 If you back up one step from the mod folder, there should be a steam folder, inside are files with strange names, these are your steam workshop mods, and the file format is zip, even though the extension is different.

Steam Workshop and How to Make Mods

Using a your browser (NOT the steam browser) Go to your steam profile Workshop Items Subscribed Items 2. Set your view to 30 per page (bottom left corner). Now view the page's source. (For firefox, right click somewhere blank on the page and select 'View Page Source') You'll retrieve the page's HTML markup (a whole lot of text).

Steam Workshop

The Rome II Steam Workshop is a directory of user created modifications for the game that can alter many different areas of the game, from simple balance mods to adding new units to changing the graphics in the game.

You can browse the Workshop for mods you would like to have in your game and subscribe to them. The tags can be used to filter for mods of different types, so if you just want to find mods that add new units, the Units tag is the one for you.

Mod Manager

Once you have subscribed to items in the Workshop, when you next load up the game you can see these mods by clicking on the Mod Manager button in the launcher.

This will show all the Workshop items you are subscribed to and the download progress of them. You can also choose which mods you want active via the checkboxes for each one. So you can subscribe to more mods than you want active at any one time and you can have them downloaded on your computer and ready to go whenever you want them to have an effect in-game.

You can also upload mods to Steam Workshop from the Mod Manager, but that will be covered later. First there is information on how to make a mod.

Creating a Mod

For now community made tools are required to create mods. There are already many great tools and tutorials out there, below is a list of them that will get you started.

  • Warscape Modding Primer– A good beginners guide to modding Rome II.
  • Pack File Manager – The main community tool, this can open pack files, create new ones and edit database tables
  • Rome 2 Editor – A tool designed for dealing with large amounts of data in the database.
  • How to create a mod pack in 5 easy steps with Pack File Manager – A great guide on how to create a mod pack, the crucial element of any Workshop mod.
  • How to make a custom unit with Pack File Manager – Another useful tutorial this time focused on adding units.
  • Tools, Tutorials and Resources – A list of all tools and tutorials for Rome II modding.

Uploading a Mod to Steam Workshop

Now you have made a mod, uploading it to Steam Workshop is a simple process.

Make sure your mod pack has a unique name so it will not conflict with other mods, and that it is located in your Rome II data folder along with an image for your mod. This should be a 256x256 png image with the same name as your mod pack. If you do not have this image you will get an error message on trying to upload.

Steam How To Subscribed Mods

Run the game and go to the Mod Manager. You should see a new entry there with the name of your mod pack along with an upload button. Clicking it will prompt you to select which tag you want for your mod. The tags are:

  • Graphical
  • UI
  • Overhaul
  • Battle
  • Campaign
  • Units
  • Compliation
  • Maps

Pick the one that is most relevant.

Once your mod has been uploaded you will be taken to the Steam Workshop page for it where you can edit its title, description and upload additional images/videos to help promote it. Save the details and it will be available for everyone who owns Rome II to subscribe to and use themselves in their games.

Steam How To See Subscribed Mods

I've answered this question a few times already, I'll put it here for reference. Everything here applies for generic mods, special mods might have different ways of getting installed. In such a case, refer to the instructions given by the mod creator. If there are no such instructions, either of ways bellow will work
MANUALLY
1) Download the mod from wherever you found it. This will typically be as .zip or .rar file. (As always, be careful about downloading files from the internet.)
2) Extract the mod. Your computer will have the tools to do this if it is a .zip, for something fancier you might need a utility program such as http://www.7-zip.org/
3) Drop the extracted folder into your mods directory. This is typically located in
.../Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/
The final file path should be something like
.../Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/Mods/MyFirstMod/MyFirstMod.modinfo
Do not replace the game files in the steam folder with a mod

4) Launch the game. Go to additional content and click to enable the mods you want if they are not already enabled.
STEAM
1) Find the mod on steam workshop and subscribe
2) Wait for it to download
3) Launch the game. Go to additional content and click to enable the mods you want if they are not already enabled.
That's all!
