Where do I download mods to?

Definitly a noob question about getting mods

from Sins Forums
I don't normally download mods so I'm kinda confused as to where I put them in the Sins Program Files. So can someone tell me where they go?

what about maps?


Same place, just 'Galaxy' instead.

Also note, for using maps with the 1.09 beta, you have to change the version number of the maps to '2'. This can be done by:

1) Right click on flie.
2) Select 'open with' and then choose 'notepad'
3) The top line(s) will read 'Version Number' and you change the number.
4) Save file
5) Run Sins, look under 'small maps' [The reason the map doesn't appear under 'custom maps' is because of the #of players (I think, I forgot ;P )]

Not quite. That only works for maps created in the in-game editor. Galaxy Forge maps need to be put into C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy. The maps will show up with the regular maps.
