I have a few mods installed, nothing super-complex like BTA or Roguetech. So far, I haven't needed Modtek to use them.

I've just tried installing Modtek on the hypothesis that it might fix an issue I've been having developing a new mod. But after installing Modtek, all my existing saves now refuse to load: the game says that the required mods aren't installed.

On checking, I found that Modtek wants its mods to be in the ...\steamapps\common\Battletech\Mods folder, as opposed to the HBS-created ...\Documents\My Games\Battletech\mods. So I copied all my existing mods over, and verified that they show up in the Mods screen ingame. But my saves still refuse to load. Is there a way of forcing the game to load them?
 
Most likely you need to find the save editor, and use that to strip out the tags that say what mods are needed to load the save. Then you should be able to load them.
