3. Click on "Validate load order" can be skipped1. Open the mod loader
2. Add the mods you want (zip or twee it's the same, mod loader recognizes both)
3. Click on "Validate load order"
4. Click on "Load mods"
Once the process on item 4. ends a (new) modded file is generated under the "modded" folder. Start game from that file instead from the one you have in the regular game folder. Once it starts, you can see a note on the bottom right corner of the window indicating the game release and that it's been modded. In game settings there is a button indicating the mods you are using.
Notes:
. You have to have Java installed (JRE)
. It's been working for me this way
. Some mods in the existing mods list are not compatible with the last versions of the game and need to be updated by their cr if you deators
. Any questions, just ask
. Hope that helps
you will be warned of conflicting mods any way
