Still can't get mods to work
Almost 4 month later and I still can't get mods to work consistently. I've exhausted almost all methods on how to do so, resetting the library, manually putting mods into the documents folders, doing the JSON file tweak, multiple reinstalls and I still have yet to get them to work.

All mods I've tried have worked so far and haven't needed to do anything manually. Granted, I haven't used many mods.

No one can help you if we don't have any clue as to what your situation is. I don't even know why these methods have been recommended to you at this point.

I just installed a new mod, Lord of the Rings. Here's the procedure what I did to get it to work:
1. subscribed to the mod from workshop
2. after mod was downloaded start I:R launcher
3. go to mods tab and enable LoTR mod
4. click start in launcher

That is odd to say the least.

Which OS are you using? Windows 10?

I'm thinking about security controls or versions of libraries installed on your computer being possible causes. Seeing as you are able to play HoI4 it's less likely that a library is the cause.

Have you tried asking on the paradoxplaza forums?

The problem is probably using OneDrive. If you have your Documents folder on One Drive, then nevertheless Imperator put subscribed mods in a (second) folder Documents on your C: drive.
The launcher reads the mods, but Imperator doesn't see them, because it looks in the OneDrive Documents folder. Solution: copy all the files and folders in your c:/users/yourname/documents/imperator folder to OneDrive/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Imperator folder. You have to do that everytime you subscribe with a mod. Probably starting Imperator will not work then the first time. Try again then.

Nice!

For all clarity: OneDrive is not just one drive (and another drive), it's Microsofts OneDrive that is causing the problem en Paradox not coping with that fact in Imperator. (Other Paradox games dont' have this problem..

only issue with this is that all my mods activate, which messes up the game, but it can be fixed by manually taking out mods, annoying, but still better than anything, thanks.
