**IMPORTANT:** As an ongoing note for players who mod various game files… **modding is not officially supported.** If you have saved a game with any mod active, that saved game will not work after an update has been applied unless you replace all modded files exactly as they were when the save game file was created. Saved games require the exact same data state in order to function properly.

If you experience further issues please contact Customer Support at: https://support.paradoxplaza.com
