Where Does World of Tanks Store Mods?
World of Tanks mods live versioned under res_mods in the game directory, with user configs in a mods folder. Version numbers gate everything.
Last updated
World of Tanks mods live in versioned folders under res_mods in the game directory, one subfolder per game version. Sights, skins, hangar overhauls, and XVM style interface packs fill a giant scene. User tweaks sit in a separate mods folder with config files.
The version gate causes every patch day confusion: new version folder means reinstalling or forwarding mods deliberately. Official mod hub entries stay safest for account security. Keep one clean profile for clan wars and experiments on a test setup.

Frequently asked questions
Mods vanished after an update. Where did they go?
Check the version folder first. Every game patch needs a new res_mods subfolder, and old mods never carry forward automatically. Wait for mod updates or copy forward at your own risk.
Which mods are allowed?
Yes for approved categories like sights and skins, no for anything touching aim or armor data. Wargaming bans cheat mods aggressively, so stay inside the official mod hub and forums.
