• Make sure you always have the latest version of the Anno Mod Loader installed. Mods won't show up after game updates otherwise.

Changes

Versions are always kept compatible, except when game updates force me to do differently.

Rebalancing of productions may only happen when the first version number changes, but they are still save to use in existing savegames.

See full changelog.

v5 Update Guide

Install

Mod names have changed, most notably they got (Jakob) at the end to help you manage bigger collections.

That unfortunately means you need to take extra care updating this time.

• Easy way: Install via iModYourAnno.

• Manual way: Delete all v4 mods before you install v5, mostly because folder names have changed.

In-game Changes

In-game changes, that need your attention:

• Upgradable Workers now have Tea as mandatory need with Cheese moving to alternative needs.
