Last updated
Cities: Skylines 2 modding runs through Paradox Mods into a Mods folder under the game's LocalLow data: one entry per mod, toggled in the in game menu. Asset packs, code mods, and map collections share the layout. Manual installs drop into the same tree.
The existing save post covers cities; this folder covers customization. Patch cadence moves steadily, so check supported versions on each subscription. Keep one stable set for showcase cities and test newcomers on throwaway maps first.

Frequently asked questions
The mod stopped working after a patch. What now?
Confirm the mod supports your game version in the mod menu, since patches invalidate mods until authors update. Paradox Mods auto updates subscriptions, while manual files need hand replacing.
Is it safe to remove mods mid city?
Back up the save tree first. Asset and code mods can strand a city when removed mid game, while map mods only affect new games. Test newcomers on a test city.
