Ok I've done a bit of searching for the question couldn't find the answer, but when i tried to start adding mods to my sin's game and after a bit of searching through my pc, the directory that the mod database for Sin's to call from does not exist.
The game lists the directory as being C:\Documents and Settings\Kyle Hayes\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods. Yet once i fallow through to the second part the local settings folder does not exist, it instead goes directly to application data, yet i'm unable to figure out how to change this path listed in game, also the path to my sins directory did not have a mods foldder though i did create one to see if that would fix it yet it did not . Any help in this would be appricated.
