Where Does Anno 1800 Store Mods?
Anno 1800 mods live in a mods folder in the game directory plus mod.io subscriptions. The Mod Loader merges them at startup.
Last updated
Anno 1800 modding centers on a mods folder in the game directory read by the community Mod Loader at startup, with mod.io subscriptions feeding the same tree. Production overhauls, new goods, and interface tweaks share the layout.
Loader version gates the stack after every game update, so update it before judging individual mods. Keep one stable set for long islands and test newcomers on sandbox saves. Tourism and docklands mods interact subtly, so add them one at a time on working saves.

Frequently asked questions
All mods broke after an update. What now?
Update the Mod Loader first, then check mods for compatible rebuilds. Game updates shift the data files mods patch, so everything fails together until the loader updates. Disable all mods to confirm stock behavior.
Is it safe to remove mods mid game?
Back up the save tree first. Production chain mods can strand an island economy when removed, while cosmetic mods uninstall cleanly. Test newcomers on a sandbox save.
