However yes, it is a bother and the reason it's a bother is to mess up the cheat makers. Because most time its the same mods but most player cant seem to figure out how to rename a folder. You may not need to re-download the mods at all. and rename your old mods to the current version. Humm, ok, so go to your mods folder for world of warships. Having to reinstall all mods every patch is just absolutely unnecessary and a huge waste of time and resources. If an update does cause issues, you disable the offending mod(s) and then and only then do you have to wait for an update and only for that mod. Other games that I play, and have played, all allow mods to remain in place, and if an update doesn't bork them, everything keeps working. Others prefer the clean look.Why WG Players accept this out-dated and silly Mod system is beyond me. Some like different range displays on the mini-map. Some players find that a flatter sea makes it easier to identify targets while some love bigger waves. For instance, a turquoise spider crosshair may be easier to see for some than a plain white one. Mods make the game interface more comfortable for many players.

Wargaming hosts sections on their forums, too. Mods and mod packs can be discussed in many places, including the modders' own sites. Can be overwhelming, but a great place to explore.
