EU4 Mods Not Showing Up in Mod Folder: A Step-by-Step Solution

Are you tired of dealing with missing mods in Europa Universalis IV (EU4)? If you're experiencing issues with your mods not showing up in the mod folder, don't worry - this article has got you covered. We'll walk you through a simple and effective solution to get your EU4 mods up and running.

Firstly, it's essential to understand that this trick might work for other Paradox games as well, but we can only verify its effectiveness with EU4. So, if anything goes wrong during the process, simply revert back to the original settings and try again.

The first step is to rename the Document/Paradox Interactive/EU4 folder to something else. This will allow us to create a new mod folder outside of OneDrive, where we can store our mods, saves, and settings without any issues.

Next, copy the contents of the original EU4 folder into the new mod folder. Make sure to preserve the directory structure and file names during the copying process.

After that, locate the launcher-settings.json file beside the dowser.exe file in your EU4 installation folder. Open this file and edit it by replacing the gameDataPath line with the path to your new mod folder. For example, you can replace 'D:/ParadoxInteractive/EU4' with the actual path to your new mod folder.

Next, create a new userdir.txt file in your EU4 installation folder, beside the dowser.exe file. Open this file and add the path to your new mod folder.

Finally, start up the Launcher and launch a game to ensure everything is working correctly. You should now be able to access your mods from within the game.

If you're using Irony Mod Manager, remember to update the path to this folder in the manager settings as well.

In conclusion, getting EU4 mods not showing up in mod folder can be frustrating, but with these simple steps, you'll be back to enjoying your favorite game in no time. Don't forget to share your experiences and any additional tips you may have in the comments below!
