Modtools

this makes it so the games crashes as soon as I open it

I'm subscribed to everything in "4onen's AwSW Utilities" and for some reason the MODS button in bottom left is not showing up and the game is operating as if in vanilla (except for crashes when I load certain pre-existing game states). How do I get that MODS button to appear?

I seem to be unable to run any mods. The mod buttons show up, but no mods will actually load, or in the rare case they do, the game freezes upon trying to start a new game. The game also freezes when I click the "add game from workshop" button. I really want to play some mods, some help would be highly appreciated. I'm on Windows btw.

Since my issue is that I have the mod tools downloaded by it won't show up when I start up the game.

Does anyone know if the mod workshop supports apple computers, and if not does anyone if they eventually will be supported. Thank you

I see. I had a minor suspicion as much when I read up a bit on the forums and elsewhere, though I didn't want to assume since my knowledge in this area is incomplete. The good news is that the mods seem to be running fine when the game is processed through Proton. I am still testing things out, but the Adine and Naomi mods are running well as can be expected, if a little slower in certain loading sections, but nothing to really worry about in depth.

Anyway, it may be worthy of a mention here on this toolset to have the game run through Steam Proton in case anyone else asks this question again. Maybe put it in some Q&A for such a purpose.

The AwSW Workshop only supports Windows at the moment, though the modtools itself and mods can be installed manually, and they should work as intended afterwards.

This is due to workshop support needing to be compiled and loading using C to interface with Steam, and when an attempt was made to support Linux, there were issues with porting the structures required.

Update: I decided to try one last ditch effort to see if this effort would have some effect.

It would seem utilizing Steam Proton did the trick, though I had to verify the files first to redownload some files. Once that was done, I started the game, and lo and behold, I see the mods displayed in the lower left corner. Testing is still ongoing, but I'll keep you posted as it goes on.

As far as I can tell, the Workshop works well with Ubuntu 18.04 when utilizing it for other games, be they native or played through Steam Proton, but for whatever reason the mods here don't seem to activate even when installed. I am honestly considering trying to install this game on a virtual box to see if I could get it to work that way as a last resort, though I would prefer to have things solved here first if possible.

The mods install just fine as said, but they do not seem to activate, and the reasons for such elude me. Thus I come here seeking some help with regards to this matter. If you have any instructions I can follow to troubleshoot and solve this issue, it would be appreciated. If needed, I can provide error logs, provided you can point me in a direction where they might exist, along with whatever other information that may be needed. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Question, will this addon work for Linux based OSes/Distros, such as Ubuntu 18.04 for instance? The last time I have tried to play with a few mods for the game, the mod section at the bottom left portion of the screen on the main menu did not appear. I've have attempt to troubleshoot the issue myself using some instructions from one of the mod creators here to no avail, which included uninstalling all addons and doing a clean reinstall of the game itself to make sure things worked alright.
