INSTALLATION
=============================================
The whole mod is around 2.2 GB in size, when extracted
Extract the contents of the zip file to your sins mod directory
Example for windows XP C:\Documents\\My Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.X
Example for Vista/Win 7/Win 8 C:\Users\\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.X
Next, before installing the mod proper, one must enable the Large Address Flag on Sins' exe.
This is is required for SoGE to work, or else it will not function correctly. This will not interfere with your ability play with other people (i.e. a person without an LAA exe can play with someone who has an LAA exe), nor does it break any rules set out by Stardock or Steam.
Step by step instructions:
1) Open "Large Address Aware.exe".
2) Select "Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion.exe" to modify (click on the "..." button to browse). It can be found in the following folder:
...\Steam\steamapps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion
3) Check the box specifying that you want to make the game large address aware.
4) Click on save to save the changes.

or: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/381382/page/1/ )
To activate the mod, open the EnabledMods.txt file present in the previously mentioned folder and edit the file like so (this can be copy-pasted in):
TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 1
enabledModName "SoGE 4.10.0"
The blank line must be present in order for the game to read the EnabledMods.txt file correctly.
An editted version of EnabledMods.txt has been provided with the mod; these instructions are here in the event that the provided file is lost.
The mod should be working fine if the only races you can select are Star Wars races. If this is not the case you have not properly installed the mod in your mods folder.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE INGAME MODS OPTION PAGE TO ENABLE THE MOD, THIS OFTEN RESULTS IN A CRASH AND IS KNOWN TO CAUSE INSTABILITY.
ADDON INSTALLATION
=============================================
SoGE also has several addons available for it, which introduce various changes to the mod. Included in the main download is the "Squad Size Reduction" addon, which condenses all fighter squadrons into having a single super fighter and edits anti-fighter abilities to reflect that change. This addon was created primarily to reduce lag, for both singleplayer and multiplayer matches.
To install an addon, one must once again edit EnabledMods.txt, and place the addon above the main mod in the list like so:
TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 2
enabledModName "SoGE Addon - Squad Size Reduction"
enabledModName "SoGE 4.10.0"
