This is how I installed it:
1) Open Steam
2) On the top-left corner: Steam → Settings
3) Downloads → Steam Library Folders
4) Click the + button
5) Let me choose another location → Add
6) Select X:\Y, where X is the drive's letter of your choice, Y is a folder with a very short name (create it if necessary), e.g. SL (for Steam Library) - this to prevent files inside the mod's folder to have a path too long for Windows
7) Select Total War: MEDIEVAL II - Definitive Edition by checking the box on the right → Move
8) Select the folder you just created → Move
9) Optionally, navigate to X:\Y\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\ (or alternatively: Go to your Library → right click Total War: MEDIEVAL II - Definitive Edition → Properties... → Local Files → Browse...) to make sure that the files were moved successfully. If you're feeling paranoid, run the game
10) Download SSHIP 098 (and 7-Zip from
https://www.7-zip.org/ if you need to) - Personally, I downloaded the mod with JDownloader 2 (
https://jdownloader.org/): contrary to a standard download, it started instantly and didn't freeze my computer for the duration of the download
11) Cut (Ctrl+X) SSHIP_098.7z and paste (Ctrl+V) it into "X:\Y\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods", open the file, look at what greets you, then close the file
12a) If you were greeted by a single folder, then right click SSHIP_098.7z → 7-Zip → Extract here
12b) If you were greeted by a bunch of folders and/or files, then right click SSHIP_098.7z → 7-Zip → Extract in "SSHIP_098"
13) Optionally, either delete SSHIP_098.7z, or keep it for posterity / as backup (but in this case I'd suggest moving it somewhere else)
14) Optionally, rename the folder however you want (e.g. SSHIP_0.9.8 - notice the extra dots) - From now on I'll call this folder Z
15) Return to your Library on Steam → Click Add A Game on the bottom-left corner → Add a Non-Steam Game...
16) If you see the game, click the checkbox to its left → Add Selected Programs. Otherwise Browse... → Open "X:\Y\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\medieval2.exe" → Add Selected Programs
17) A new "game" named medieval2 should have appeared in your Library. Right click it → Properties...
18) Change medieval2 (the shortcut name) to whatever you want (e.g. SSHIP 0.9.8)
19) Change the target to the following:
Code:
"X:\Y\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\medieval2.exe" --features.mod=mods/Z
(i.e. click wherever in the target field, hit End on your keyboard, add a space, add --features.mod=mods/Z)
20) Use the new shortcut in your Library to play the game

Please specify which version of SSHIP you are using. Most developers are on the latest SSHIP 098 beta version of April 7, 2022. Is the bug with this version ?
I even skipped the next lap to be sure.
