AoW 4 Downloaded Mods location in steam folders

By Shocky

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1669000\
This was only found with Everything search app and going by .acp
Use that if you have different location, such on different drive or OS etc.

Why this guide? I could not for the life of me, find it when I searched for it. It was throwing up default unrelated answers about aow 4 and mods. Also added injury is the 30+ min youtube videos show up...

Age of Wonders 4 downloaded mods location and tips to find it

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1669000\

This was only found with Everything search program/app and going by .acp
Use that if you have different location, such on different drive or OS etc.

Why this guide? I could not for the life of me, find it when I searched for it. It was throwing up default unrelated answers about AoW 4 and mods. Also added injury is the 30+ min youtube videos show up... So here I'm writhing this guide, hoping it helps.

.acp btw is the main file type the game uses for mods. Example: MassiveMaps.acp

Some other paths & locations you might want to have:

Mods you make gets typically located here.
C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Age of Wonders 4\Mods

Not sure if top path if valid, might need to manually change it username to whatever your PC is called. Also possible to go through steam, right clicking game and show game folder.

Example path with Massive Maps from steam downloaded, official Paradox mod.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1669000\2970473841

Screenshot location with steam, again this might be different depending on OS and game version, (feel free to poke with other locations to improve this guide).
You can also ofc. find this through steam itself, with show folder when previewing them.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\34921823\760\remote\1669000\screenshots

Screenshot preview is what I feel about windows and google current search usefulness.

I hope sincerely this helped you out!

Yeah the launcher overview of mods makes finding them a lot easier, but this guide was before the overhaul of the launcher came. ^^

As far number scheme goes, I think that is just the name steam decided for it in the backend, my educated guess. Lots of folders of steam is just numbers, games etc. Quite a lot of info for steam to handle, so numbers though an algorithm was the easy way?

Actually I'm feeling pretty dumb right now. Just realized that from the game launcher, you can look at All Installed mods and then click on the three dots to the right of any mod you highlight. This gives you access to two links, one that takes you to mod page (within a browser, not within the Steam app) and the other takes you directly to the mod's folder on your computer. ::facepalm::

I didn't have the game installed on my C: drive. For me it's E:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1669000\

Sometimes it's hard to tell which mod is in each numbered folder, even with looking at the.acp file (one of mods I use lists test.acp). There's also a thumbnail.png file you can open, sometimes that's the only way I know which mod it is.

Seriously, is there any rhyme or reason to the numbering system for the folders containing the mods?
