Mod Creation Failed

I had a chat with the launcher team and the version you have is the Beta version. Can you please try and reinstall the launcher to see if that boots you back to the correct version (2020.12)?

Step 1: Remove game-specific files created by the launcher

For each game that uses the launcher, you will need to delete the following files or folders, if they exist, from the game’s data directory (e.g., Documents/Paradox Interactive/Age of Wonders Planetfall):

• .launcher-cache
• content_load.json or dlc_load.json (depending on game)
• game_data.json
• mods_registry.json (optionally, also delete the mods folder)
• newsfeed
  

Step 2: Uninstall the launcher and remove its settings files

1. Go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall “Paradox Launcher v2”
2. Delete the following files or folders, if they still exist:
   1. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Paradox Interactive\launcherpath (should not exist)
   2. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2 (should only contain logs)
   3. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2 (should only contain logs)

Step 3: Download the installer package

Step 4: Unpack and replace files

Unpack the file you just downloaded and place the three files in the installation directory for the game you're having issues with. If asked if you want to replace already existing files click "yes".

Step 5: Launch the game

Start Steam as administrator (right click Steam.exe > run as administrator), then start the game and it should ask you to install the launcher. Hopefully, this then solves all the problems !

Perfect! Odd that you were automatically thrown into the Beta launcher though but of well, magic I guess !
