You connect your mod.io account to TABS to access and manage community-made content directly within the game. This process links the game to the modding platform, which lets you download new units, factions, and battles with a single click.
Getting Started
Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. You will need a copy of TABS (Totally Accurate Battle Simulator) installed on your computer. This guide works whether you own the game through Steam or the Epic Games Store. You also need a stable internet connection so the game can communicate with mod.io. Finally, grab a second device like your phone or use your computer to open a web browser for the authentication step. You only need to do this setup once. After linking your account, you will not have to repeat the process.
Connecting Your Account
Follow these steps to link TABS with your mod.io profile. The process is quick and usually takes only a few minutes to complete.
First, launch the TABS game. From the main menu, find and select the Workshop option. When you go into the Workshop for the first time, the game will automatically see that you are not logged in. A new window will appear on your screen showing instructions and a five-character authentication code. Keep this code visible, as you will need it very soon. Do not close the game or this window.
Next, use your other device or open a new browser tab. Go to the website mod.io/connect. This webpage is built specifically for linking games to your account. The site will ask you to log in to your mod.io account. If you do not have one, you need to create one. You can register with an email address. You can also sign up faster by linking an existing account from services like Steam, Xbox, or Google. Choose the method that works best for you.
After you successfully log in, the website will show you a simple form. It has a single text box asking for your authentication code. Carefully type the five-character code from your TABS game screen into this box. Click the button to authorize the connection. The website will process your request and link your mod.io account to your game.

Browsing and Using Mods
Switch your attention back to your game. You will notice that TABS automatically recognizes the new connection. The Workshop screen refreshes, and you will now see a full gallery of available mods. You can browse through popular mods, check out the newest uploads, or use the search bar to find something specific.
When you find a mod you want to install, simply select it and click the subscribe button. The game then handles the download and installation for you. You do not need to move any files or manage complex folders. It is a very user-friendly system. Any mods you subscribe to, such as custom units or factions, will appear in the correct in-game menus for you to use in your battles.

Fixing Common Problems
This approach has some problems. You might encounter an issue, but most are simple to fix.
If the authentication code fails to work, it probably expired. The codes are temporary for security reasons. To get a new one, just go back to the TABS main menu and enter the Workshop again. The game will generate a new code for you to use.

Conclusion
If you subscribe to a mod but it does not show up in your game, first check your internet connection. Some mods are large and take a while to download. You can also try restarting TABS. A simple restart often forces the game to re-sync with mod.io and properly load your subscribed content. This action solves most download-related issues.
