Can't do challenges because of user mods, even with mods disabled

[Torf the Great]

I am trying to play the monarch challenges but I get an X next to the user modifications requirement. I don't have any mods enabled. I've tried reinstalling and deleting local files. I also have the checksum 3.3.2 SPIU rather than the IIVC that I think it should be. Any thoughts?

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add ck2game.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.

That should do it for you!
