Total War Mod Manager
What Total War Mod Manager is
Total War Mod Manager is a free Windows utility from Kaedrin for arranging mods in supported Total War games. Version 1.9.0 adds Warhammer 3 and Troy, while the README also lists Warhammer 1, Warhammer 2, Three Kingdoms, Thrones of Britannia, and other support. Users can load, save, delete, import, and export profiles of activated mods, change priority order, and restore vanilla settings before returning to the Creative Assembly manager. A conflict view identifies mods that interfere with one another. Selecting a mod displays its image, and right-clicking a row opens its file contents. After the Creative Assembly launcher downloads files, refreshing the manager moves new or updated mods into the data folder. Profiles can be exported to the clipboard or HTML, with HTML exports including Steam page URLs. The v1.9.0 GitHub release provides a ZIP download. The tool requires .NET Framework 4.5 and a display resolution of at least 1400x850.
