Re: no mod folder
That's normal. New installation has no mods. Therefore no need for a mods folder.
Just make one.
I think that's right anyway. At least try adding a mods folder, putting a mod in it and seeing if it's available.

Re: no mod folder
Taking a quick look at my own setup, I don't have a mods directory in the main install directory. I do have one in my personal dominions3 directory (where savedgames live).
This is on Linux, so I don't know how it translates...

Re: no mod folder
I don't know what to say.
My install doesn't have a mods directory. The install I just did in a temp directory also doesn't.
If making a mods folder doesn't let you use mods, I don't know what to say. Maybe someone more familiar with the Windows version can suggest something.

Re: no mod folder
The operating system and the version of it does many alot of difference.
Is this Linux. Windows, Mac? If its Windows is it WinXP or sooner?

Are the savegames also stored there? Perhaps try to put a mod dir in the same directory as the savegames directory. |

Re: no mod folder
(driveletter, i.e C):\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\dominions3\mods
It may be hidden depending on settings.
