How to find game folders from steam

from Sins Forums

So, I want to download some mods for this game but I am having a hard time finding out where my files are for it. I have looked everywhere pretty much and I even looked to where the mod path is and even when I did I still couldn't find it. So then I moved the files to a easier location and that must have messed it up. So then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and then I decide to look for it again. I really want to know where can I find the game files if I downloaded this game from steam. I have been looking but most of my attemps have failed. Is there a way I can find my files from steam?

 

Edit:Man... Every time I try to download a mod for a game I can never get it to work for some odd reason. I keep trying and trying but they never work, I have no idea why.

First of all, did you find the mod folder or not? If so and you enabled the mod, did it minidump or what?

He may not have hidden files set to be shown.

Damn Microsoft.

Incorrect.

 

It is unfair to blame a company for stupid users.

It's also unfair to blame users for a stupid company, AppData is a hidden directory.

I'm not running the newest version of Sins, but unless something changed drastically the mod folder should be in
Win 7: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\IroncladGames
WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\AppData\Local\IroncladGames [iirc, I haven't used XP in a while]

As for the game files themselves, installed through steam should be in:
%steamroot%\steamapps\common\    where %steamroot% is wherever you installed steam to, usually defaulted to C:\ProgramFiles\Steam on 32bit windows or C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam on actual windows.

 

As for hidden folders, you can expose them on Win7 by selecting Organize -> Folder and Search Options -> View Tab and then selecting "Show hidden files, folders and drives."

It's a similar story for XP, but the option is in the edit drop down menu if I recall.

 

Hope this helps.
