Where a mods supposed to go

when i install mods from the mod manager, are they supposed to go in the steamapps/common/Satisfactory/FactoryGame/mods folder or should they be getting put somewhere else ? main reason i ask is because each time i start the game up it says it cant find them even though they show up there

downgrade_duplicate
Make sure you updated the game before launching SMM. If your game is up to date, you have both U8 and 1.0 installed in the same folder at once, and SMM is detecting the U8 version. To fix this, uninstall the game, delete the game install dir if it still exists (this is NOT the AppData folder, but the location where you installed the game), then reinstall the game, and reopen SMM. If reinstalling the game takes too long for you, a quicker fix is to delete the <game install dir>\Engine\Binaries\Win64\FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.version file, though this is not meant to be a permanent solution, as having the game installed twice in the same directory can cause issues later.

ok so looks like you have files from 2 versions in the same folder To fix this, uninstall the game, delete the game install dir if it still exists (this is NOT the AppData folder, but the location where you installed the game), then reinstall the game, and reopen SMM.
