does mods work for any module?

[Deriuse]

for example there is no weathered weapons or sherman mod for FB would a mod for CMBN work with FB?

If there are corresponding files the mod will work.

However if there is a new model with the same skin name then you might see some funky armour rolling about.

Best thing to do is to try. You can always remove them if they don't work.

FB is not a module of BN. It‘s a completely different game family. MG and CW are modules of BN. Between them and BN it works.

But between FB or FI and BN: Nope.

For things which are common between the Families, it should work.  It is all based on file names and we don't deliberately make unique names for each Family of products.  For example, a special texture set for a PzIVH Late should work for any game with a PzIV H Late.  What won't work is taking a collection of textures deigned for Family A and dropping it into Family B without modification.  There's too many differences between the Families' content for that to work, which means the common stuff gets the Mod and the Family specific stuff doesn't.  Almost always that's not a desirable outcome.

The general rule here is that individual Mods have a chance of working in any Family, but Mod collections are pretty much assured to not function as intended.

Just as an example I've had success in using CMBS mods (primarily explosion, fire effects and sounds) with a much older CMSF. I'm also using a few graphics mods made for CMRT (which I don't even have, yet) with CMBS and they work as advertised
