How to install mods
Ubisoft’s modding page gives three steps and a text file. There is no in-game browser yet. The 2027 plan is noted on the manager page so this one can stay a procedure.
- Download the mod from mod.io.
- Unzip it into Documents/Anno 117 – Pax Romana/mods/ or into the mods folder of the install.
- Mods are enabled by default. To disable one, open mods/active-profile.txt and put a # at the start of its line.
Removing a mod means deleting its folder, or leaving the folder and disabling the line. Multiplayer requires every person to run the same mods at the same versions, including sub-mods. Update 3.0 checks that and names the mismatch.
The four sample mods that ship with the game follow the same file. They start off. Enabling them is the same text file, not a separate store toggle.
Questions
Where is the mods folder?
Documents/Anno 117 – Pax Romana/mods/ or the mods folder inside the install. Both are on the official page.
How do I turn one mod off?
Add # in front of its line in active-profile.txt.
