What mod is it? And what do you mean by, 'doesn't work'? Are you seeing an error message or is the game just closing? It's possible the mod is using up enough memory to not allow both to run at the same time. So you may need to reduce the size of the media used in the mod to stay within the memory confines of your system.

Also, make sure you aren't trying to use a mod designed for version 1.X with version 2.X. Many old mods will not be compatible with the new formats and filenames in 2.X. Old mods sometimes need to be updated to work with the new customizing options in the expansion version of the game.

I mean by doesn't work if I lauch the game by the client steam, the game will work vanilla wihout any mod. It's like the mod doesn't lauch.
If I load the game separatly the mod will work when I lauch the game.
Thx you for your fast answer

Make sure you put it in the correct folder, or the game won't find the needed files for the mod. You'll want to put mod files in the game's -install- folder, not the -save data- folder.
What may be happening is you may have the direct download version and the Steam version installed at the same time. So if you install the mod in the direct download install folder, then launch it from there, the game finds the files just fine. But if you only have those mod files in that folder, then launch the game through Steam, the game won't find the files because they aren't in the -Steam- install folder (which is usually in the program files folder \\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\EvochronMercenary. If this is the case, simply move those mod files from the direct download install folder over to the Steam install folder and it should all work correctly.
