What happens if a mod is removed from the workshop?

[Jabberwockxeno]

If we are subbed to it, will we lose it? Or will it still be in our game?

 

[Jabberwockxeno]

If the former, is there a way to save the mod as a file that we can back up?

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I've copied and saved a couple somewhere else on my hard drive - it's a straightforward right click - drag to folder - "copy here" operation.

Ah.

On a somewhat related note, I heard that if one has steam installed on a drive other than C:, it can screw up mods.

Is this true?

 

[Gedemon]

I've Steam on my drive D:
My Documents folder in Users on E:
Civilization V on C: (with a Junction link in steamapps/common)

And no problem at all, so I'd say "false"

That was a Civ5 bug, but that was a long, long time ago.
