.Exe files not working, but zip files are

Whenever I download a .exe file from any website and run it, it automatically makes the output localappdata-activision-waw-mods, but it never shows up in that folder. Then, if I move the exe file to localappdata-plutonium-storage-t4-mods anyway, it still doesn’t show up in the mods section in the game, but if I use a zip file map, it works fine. I also cannot change what the output of the .exe file is while installing the map.

Move the folders inside AppData/Local/CodWaW/mods, not the exe.

@likeajoshface Your mods have to be in %localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t4\mods to be playable on Plutonium. By default the exe installers installs the maps in %localappdata%\Activision\CoDWaW\mods so move them in the correct directory.
Please refer to this guide to properly install your maps https://plutonium.pw/docs/modding/loading-mods/#t4

@lResxt I just tried doing this and now nothing is being put into the mods folder in admin-appdata-local-activision-codwaw-mods. I checked the output folder while trying to download the .exe again and it’s supposedly being put in that folder, but then I check it and there is absolutely nothing there

@likeajoshface If nothing comes from the install then you're doing something wrong or have weird settings. You can always open the exe installer with an archiver like 7-Zip to grab the map inside yourself and move it directly to the Plutonium mods folder
