Mods not working with Steam version

[dimitri18]

Hi all,

For some reason mods don't appear to be working with the Steam version of CMSF2. Screenshot below of my mod set up. I do not see the updated British Army uniforms. Am I doing everything right?

Don't you need a \z folder, or am I remembering it completely wrong?

I'm not on Steam but I vaguely recall complaints that the Steam mods folder doesn't work? And I misremembering? Also, are the mods CMSF or CMSF2? The soldier models got thoroughly reworked and new textures included. The correct naming convention is "smod_british_uniform_dpm-soldier.bmp"

Those are all  SF2 mods so naming convention isn't an issue, according to @Hapless...

"They need to go in a folder named "Z" in SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Combat Mission Shock Force 2\Data. You'll probably have to make the folder, but it works. They don't work if you put them in UserData/Mods"

So @puje seems to have it right, you need a z folder.

I swear by 'em, have to if you want multipe full mod installs.

Adding a /z folder works. Thanks

Glad you got sorted.
