Where do I put them?

from Sins Forums

Okay. So I downloaded the homeworld mod from fileplanet. The description said to put it in my "mods" folder. I have no mods folder. Where do I put it?

That's where my Sins folder is. And it has no mods folder.

ltric0 the mods folder is in the user area, to find correct path open sins,click on options, click on show mod path

assuming you have sins 1.17/entrenchment 1.03,  the mod's folder NEEDs to be placed here for xp


C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods-v1.17
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods-entrenchment v1.03


or here for vista/windows 7


C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods-v1.17
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods-entrenchment v1.03


NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

the mods DO NOT GET PLACED in the program folder, they MUST BE placed in the mods folder (above)
