How to add mods to a unity game

Question

Hello I am wondering if it is possible to add mods to a game that I have made in unity or can this not be done.

For example I want the user to be able to place a folder in a MODS folder that the game can read.

Thanks in advanced.

The directory structure that you see in the editor does not exist in the compiled game, so you cannot put a folder inside 'Assets' for example. As for putting the data other places, it will depend on the platform. A PC compiled version can read data anywhere on the machine. A Web build can only access files on the server where the game is hosted. For iOS (and I believe Android), you need to use Application.persistentDataPath but because it is sandboxed, you'd need to provide an interface inside your App to upload files to this location.
