THIS MOD DOES NOT SUPPORT CRACKED GAME VERSIONS. 

MOD LOADER DISCLAIMER: 
If you dont like replacing any game *dll files in any way then you can skip this Utility completly now and move on. If you dont have any issues with it, then go ahead :)

WHAT IS IT ?
The Mod loader is a Tool done by meow and its the best utility when it comes to create Mods for Anno 1800. It not only makes the process in creating Mods much more easier, it also saves valuable time when a new patch comes out since it removes the need of adjusting everything to a new asset.xml.
(thanks @meow, your work is appreciated by the entire modding community!)

WHY IS IT ?
Because we can but mostly because of being able now to make all the Mods modular, this benefits you the User drastically since you now can adjust what you want and what not. 

MODS INSTALL ?
In your main install dir of Anno 1800 needs to be a new folder called "mods" (standard = C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Anno 1800).This is where you place any modular mod that is made for the Mod loader.

HOW DO I CHOOSE WHAT I WANT AND WHAT NOT?
Inside your mods folder should be multiple folders for each corrosponding Mod youve installed, if you dont like something, just place a - infront of the folder name and the Mod wont be loaded on your next game startup. 

Example:         Zoom-Mod = Mod gets loaded
                -Zoom-Mod = Mod wont get loaded

CAN I PLAY IN MULTIPLAYER WITH MODS ENABLED ?
Yes you can but under the condition that everyone in the Party also has the same mods activated, else you will encounter a version mismatch when the game is loading.

CONTACT:                
If you want to hang out, need help or anything else related to Anno 1800 modding, you can join us on discord: Modding Corner. There you find the creator of the modloader and other modders of course.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The first game startup may take a moment since the modloader cashes the changes made by the mods. This enables a more speedy startup for future gamestarts.Keep in mind that enabling/disabling a mod will redo the caching on the next startup. Modloader is opensource and can be viewed at Github: ModLoader project

The mod is available in all languages the game offers, except japanese. If you want to do the japanese translation, feel free to do so! You can contact us in the Discord for that matter.
