The problem: mods won't work.
The strange thing is, the mods show up on the Mods Screen in the game---I have them in the proper file path. I can select a mod and enable it. However, it doesn't affect the game. I've tried this with the minimal interface mod and the Star Wars mod. They successfully enable but the effects don't show up in the game.
I have v1.05 and use Vista. When I put a mod in the Mods Folder, I have a single folder titled "Mod Name" then the files inside it. The mods then show up in-game and I can enable them, but they don't have any effect.
(I recently posted this under a different name, Agathon, so this is the same problem just with its own thread)
