Getting (any) mods to work. How?

I’ve been looking into experimenting with mods. I know the risks to my save is all mine etc. I expect that. But I can’t get Generation Zero to load anything. I can’t get a null “changes nothing at all” mod to load. Searching around hasn’t turned up anything helpful.

In short, I’ve added the long “–vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive archives_win64/initial --vfs-archive archives_win64/supplemental --vfs-archive archives_win64/optional --vfs-fs” string to the start parameters in Steam, and once that’s there the game no longer runs. No startup screen, nothing at all. Take that line out, it’s back to normal. I can’t get any mod to load.

My question is what am I doing wrong here? Those of you who do use mods (reshade, whatever) how do you manage to load the game?

Those start parameters needs to end like this to work, atlest it did for me back when i tried mods.

“–vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive archives_win64/initial --vfs-archive archives_win64/supplemental --vfs-archive archives_win64/optional --vfs-fs .”
Note the period at the end has a space.

Bingo! It must be the working directory reference. Thanks a lot, @Znurrad!
