Im a little new to modding and I was wondering if someone could give me a hand. No matter what I do I can't get my XML mod to go in. I erased the cache file but that didn't help. I'd really appreciate the help.

You need to explain alot more than that. Vague question, vague answer.

btw Welcome to CFC

Alright, here's what I mean. No matter what I do, try to edit a civilopedia entry, change attack values, change the amount of Unit meshes shown per unit, anything. there is absolutely nothing I can change that affects the mod in any way, I don't know what more info you need, lemme know and I will tell you though

Sounds like either the files are in the wrong place or you have other files in customassets which take precedence over your changes.
