Need help with the mods path!!!!!

May 17, 2008 5:50:03 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hi guys,

there are some really cool mods, but the only way i figured out to use them is overwriting the original files. I searched through the forum an hour now finding some posts about that but nothing works! its driving me mad!

 

I use vista and the mods path isn't there, so i tryed making the folders like the path thats given by the game. doesnt work. i can not use the mod ability!!!!

i would like to use more than one mod and not reinstalling the whole game to use another one!

 

can u please help me?

 

can i change the path somehow?

first you need to unhide hidden files in windows in xp it is as follows...

Control Panel / Folder Options

once that window is open click on the middle tab along the top of it...

View

in the scroll window click the option...

Show Hidden Files and Folders

click apply then close the window now open sins and make sure it is version 1.04 and go to options, then click on mod path and write it down.

close sins follow the path to your mods folder and place your selected mods in it.

and the next time you need to figure something out please search the forums before asking for the answer, if you don't like the forum search go into google and type in your search term then follow it with site:sinsofasolarempire.com this will give you your answers most of the time, use it learn it love it.

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/302056 is just one example of the many answers from google.
