Windows



Other

What is your game version?
245805
Do you have Space Race installed?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The game has issues accessing the file system where Windows 10 apps are installed which results in a file system error whenever any attempts to install mods are made. Even the mod editior is unable to function right.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes. Just try installing any mod on the Windows 10 store version of the game.

Yeah i figured out a way to make it work.

I dont have my games from the windows store installed on my system drive so the instructions above didnt work for me but i found a different solution:

C:/ Windows boot drive

A:/ My Games Harddrive

I found my logfiles, game data, mods here: A:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-2702712463-2462994442-292648778-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\ParadoxInteractive.SurvivingMars_zfnrdv2de78ny\LocalCache\Roaming\Surviving Mars\PopsMods

i then just manually downloaded the mods, renamed all of them to "ModContent.hpk" and put them into individual folders

and voila just like magic it worked
Thankyou for posting this! I have been stumped about how to manually install mods on Surviving Mars since I got into it, and your post gave me the missing pieces.

Much appreciated!
