On my 1.4.5 GDT I have a mods folder. Its not the steam version but it is windows regular version. My mods folder is here C:\Program Files (x86)\Game Dev Tycoon\mods so if you want for windows look it up and try it out! If not could you make a mods folder and put the modded files in them? Try it out and post back!
No, simply creating a mods folder will not do anything. also, the location you specified is the wrong location for mods. If you update to 1.5.x then you’ll find that the Desktop edition (for Windows and Mac at least) also has modding capabilities now, and Steam is not required.
I was telling you in 1.5 that there is a mod folder… Read again. I said in 1.5 and if there isnt a mod folder then make one. Thats where mine is and my mods work just fine. Im not using the steam version.
As of version 1.4.5. which was released on the 21st November 2013 modding capability was added to the Greenheart Games store edition as well as taken out of beta for Steam.
A mod folder would be added during a successful update.
