I’ve been looking around to try and figure this out, but i can’t find the information anywhere because every guide out there gives a description on how to add mods in the steam version. I have tried manually adding a mods folder, and sticking mods in it as i (as far as i know) am supposed to, but it still does not show up on the mods thing in-game.
Go to your install folders and you will see a folder called ‘‘mods’’ in there. Put the (most of the time) extracted ZIP in there, the folder you got from it, and then start up Game Dev Tycoon. Go to the Mods tab in the menu and select the mod, restart Game Dev Tycoon and you’re ready to go!
Once you have a mod folder, you just un-zip and drop the gdtAPI folder in there and you’re done!
Then you just do the same for Ultimate Lib and all the mods you want.
Once you have them all in there, open up GDT, go to the pause menu, click on the “Mods” button which should be there by then, click on mod-API, UltimateLib, and the mods you want enabled.
Afterwards, close GDT, wait a second or 2, then re-open. All the mods you selected should be activated…
Also note, a lot of mods have issues with working on pre-saved games. You might want to start a new game just so you don’t get any errors.
what does your initial game dev tycoon folder look like? my mods folder looks the same and it still isn’t working, i’m guessing i may be looking at the wrong place.
