Mod Problems

Lg4ny · 01-21-2013, 08:55 PM

Sorry for the naive/computer illiterate question. I've downloaded all the updates Mods in the Add-on Central area. Besides the Quickstart downloads, I'm having problems utilizing the installed Mods. I've read all the manuals and tried my best to change the Mods over into my game, but cannot figure out how. I understand altering the game requires going into the installation/game files. I've already backed up my game, but am still having problems converting things like logo and player pictures into OOTP 13. Once again, sorry for my simpleton question, but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Try the general forum for OOTP 13. That's a better way to get your questions answered.

Have you started a new game since installing the mods? If not, that's you're problem. If you're trying to use newly installed mods with an existing game, you'll have to do some work to copy the required files into the proper folders within your saved game directory.

When creating new games, if the mods are in the right place in the OOTP 13 documents structure, then your new saved games should incorporate them automatically.
