Mod files

from Sins Forums

/prepares to get flamed for being a noob

 

 

I played sins on my old comp for the longest time, and with the new one just recently go it back on this computer.

 

I knew once how to get mods, but I don't remember for the life of me where to place them, though I'm pretty sure I use winrar to extract.

 

Help a fellow Sinner out?

If there is a place for this question already and I'm an idiot cuz I couldn't find it in any of the sections, link me and I'll be on my way.

 

ALSO!!!!

 

I remember a looooonnng time ago that Ironclad/stardock promised t-shirts those who entered a picture of them holding Sins at a local game store.

 

Did we ever have that happen? I really wanted that shirt. Like super badly :(

don't know about the shirt thingy but the mod files location just go to were you activate them and click on the mod path button, it will tell you plus force it to be created automatically

also you need to set hidden files to reveal, for some Microsoft reason Ironclad has to use hidden files for mods

 Yes placing the mods folder in a hidden folder makes real good sense if your a dumbass. My "Documents" folder is full of folders for games, that could have been used or the actual root dir of the game. They could also place a button in the mod menu screen that opens the mod folder. There is way to many people having difficulty with this when it could be made very simple.

scp 121,

assuming you have sins 1.191/entrenchment 1.051/diplomacy 1.01,  the Mods NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.191
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.051
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.191
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.051
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011

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

NOTE 2 the 'user name' in the above paths is your WINDOWS login user name, eg Administrator

and if the mod you want to use is from an EARLIER sins/entrenchment version place the mod in the mods folder FOR THAT version eg mods-entrenchment v1.03, then download and run my mods updater from the latest version archive which will have the same number as the vanilla sins version number, and AFTER updating the mod(s) to the current version for any mods of pre 1.04 entrenchment ALSO run the manifest maker on ENTITY manifests on EACH of the mods EXCEPT for total conversion mods
