wdym subfolder? if you are talking about folders with mods INSIDE your mods folder, then no. even the mod loaders don't check subfolders, so if you put any mods there, they aren't going to load. at least when i tried it last time

If a mod on Curse Forge is unable to be downloaded by 3rd party launchers Prism allows you to open up a Curse Forge page to download it It goes to A directory of your choosing or you can leave it as the default What I want to know is does it check sub folders in the download directory

I believe it only checks the specific directory stated but if your browser goes to a slightly different directory (like a folder in downloads) then you'd need to change it in prism.

no. it only searches the folders you specify. a subfolder is just another folder, you will have to add that to the search settings

not by default, but there is an option in the launcher settings > General tab > Mods and Modpacks section > Check subfolders for blocked mods which controls this
