Just wanted to remind you people who also have huge modlist to backup your json file with the eanbled mods before the next patch hits and wipes it clean again.
Yes, I am still slightly salty about it the wipe out of the blue.
No, I I am not going the be unprepared again.
Lean from your mistakes people and take precautions.
Make backups before it’s to late.
This holds true for everything on your computer!
@devs an automatic modlist backup at patches and an option to re-enable the modlist pre patch wipe would be nice for the future.

Doesn’t the list always stay the same even after patches all you have to do is sort out the mods and enable the mods right?
C:\Users\XXX Your Username\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\XXX Some large random number\mods\

see mz comment above i just wrtoe 
if yu got lots of mods, or multiple similiar mods subsribed, you really dont want to go trough a hundred mods in your collection to pick out the spefici 20 you want to use
I just have 30 mods out of which I use 20 so I guess I don’t need to back up.
