What folder do I put it in? And is that all I need to do to use it?

What folder do I put it in? And is that all I need to do to use it?

Open game -> Options -> Open Config Directory (left bottom, very small yellow text)
put the zip file in mods/4.5.5/autoload/
restart game to take effect (only works in skirmish, AI won't make new weapon or fortress)

Curious, if I want to add a new mod, do I need to delete the old mod? If so, how do I go about that? It doesn't let me when I'm in the folder.

Usually needed, wz install mods by "overwrite", if 2 file from different mods have same zip path, they will overwrite each other (by loading order, which is uncertain).

Way to remove a mod: Open game > Options > Open Configuration Directory (left bottom, very small font) >
open mods > (current version) > autoload > remove the mod archive (.zip or . wz)

[tauron12]

Thanks for that, works perfectly!
