Where Does Total War: Warhammer 3 Store Mods?
Warhammer 3 mods are pack files in the game's data folder, mirrored by Workshop subscriptions. The launcher toggles them per campaign.

Total War modding means pack files in the data folder of the game install. Workshop subscriptions place them there with hashed names, and manual downloads copy in with readable ones. The official launcher and community managers toggle entries per campaign without file surgery.
Movie type packs load unconditionally while mod type packs toggle, a distinction that explains half of all load failures. Patch day invalidates packs until authors rebuild against new tables. Keep multiplayer mod sets identical across players, since the game checks ruthlessly and desyncs cryptically.

Pack files here from Workshop and manual installs alike. Toggle per campaign in the launcher. Rebuild expectations after every major patch.
Frequently asked questions
The mod lists but changes nothing. Why?
Confirm the pack file targets the current game version in the manager. Major patches invalidate pack formats silently, and the launcher lists stale packs it then ignores. Update or remove them.
Does load order matter for pack files?
Yes through the mod manager's load order pane. Overhaul packs belong low, frameworks high. Conflicting table edits resolve by order, so document yours when sharing a campaign.
