Before starting a new game you will need to activate the mod in the mod screen. Once you moved your mod into this folder Banished will recognize the mod the next time you start the program. What the original Banished install puts in this folder are four files: data0.pkg. \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Banished\WinData.

Your downloaded mod will need to be moved to the folder (normally).

rar compressed files, so you will need 7-Zip or some similar file compression utility.

The one difference in using those is you have to download and install them yourself. There are numerous free to use mods on World of Banished and all Colonial Charter and Megamod files are on Black Liquid's website.
