Recently I bought a new laptop which can run tons of mods without problem. A few years ago (before the ideology update) there was some panic that the new updates will break existing mods and the contributors won’t keep up.
Are mods working in 2023 or did a big percentage of them stop working after ideology or biotech?
There are still an ungodly amount of mods for literally anything. All of the Vanilla Expanded mods are very high quality, plenty of older mods are still either updated or have been remade, and there are plenty that integrate with the new systems added by the DLC.
Depends how far back you go. Obvs, not all mods are keeping up as the game updates, but if anything, I find that the modding community has only every grown and gotten better with time.
I think that mod versioning was introduced in 1.1 (so about when Royalty released), which made it a lot easier to keep track of what works and what doesn’t, so you might have issues with mods from before then, but honestly there’ll almost certainly be a replacement if something was popular and was discontinued.
