Mod installation help

from Elemental Forums

Hi:

 

New poster, stupid question:

I want to use mods, but am having a hard time getting them to work. When I install the mod, do I put the folders into the mods folder, or do I put their contents into it?

Also, has anybody attempted a mod manager for LH yet? It would make using mods for CPU-illiterates like myself much less painful.

Thank you, Primal Savage.

I used the mod folders, dumping the folders that came in the mod zips into them.

I checked the "use mods" box.

I started a new game.

FE:LH said it ran into an exception and died.

 

I assume that the mods did that because of some interactions with DLC that the mod zips warned me about. How do I turn DLC off?

Yeah, which mod caused an exception?

Okay, here is the list of my mods and DLC:

All DLC (Thank you, Stardock, please take my money!)

 

There are a lot of mods I want to add, so I am just screenshotting them.

 

BTW, about XtraDeconstruct: Do I need any or all of those optional/compatibility files? I mean, I am also trying to install a bunch of the mods mentioned, but I just want to make sure.

Hunter's sense, level 6 and 7 cities, and paladin are my mods. Shouldn't be causing any exceptions on their own - but with some of the mods in there conflict is possible.

I can tell you I have done nothing to make them compatible with patchwork, a big mod, so that's a very possible source of conflict (or awkward gameplay!).

Several of those mods strike me as out of date with the current version of LH.

Try XtraDeconstruct! All my mods work with it and it is a great mod.
