Nope, you have to click mods, activate all the VP mods and then click Next (not back). Only EUI is activated automatically as a DLC.
I installed CBP with the Vox Populi installer (which supposedly also installs EUI), however the game is unplayable (EUI is not working in many levels). The non-EUI version does seem to be working. But I'd really love to try out the EUI version. Any suggestions?
Hi everyone, I was wondering if yall could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong when installing just the Community Patch and EUI. I'm currently trying and failing to make everything work on a fairly slow PC, so I'll use my phone to make this post. Please excuse and errors.
My main problem is the UI completely bugging out after installing everything in what I thought was the correct way.

I'm not exactly sure what to do and because I've just started playing civ v and even more recently started trying the community patch I feel like it's me that's doing something wrong. Thanks for the help everyone.
- I downloaded the Vox Populi installer and installed just the Core Patch with EUI. https://mega.nz/#!WcVW2LSC!DRPz5vMVOE3bhKaU-7e-_qU-DwySR2DXFdSA5LbBB_A
- I followed all the instructions from this pdf. https://mega.nz/#!vApnySCQ!WhZ8rzzZA39rJn8kvctZp8PRUpIjpZd_6fwzEVzq9HE
- I could not seem to find the EUI-CBP.EXE file in the installation folder, so I tried to install it on the side. https://mega.nz/#F!LV9QxZ4Y!nlCyP2abCZYr_fwLndtnKA
- For EUI, I went to their thread, but the main download page seems to be broken, so I used the beta page where Thunderfall says they're keeping the downloads there for now. I installed the latest version from there. Broken: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=21929

- I followed the instructions from the README file and then started the game.
- Once the game started, I open mods and select the Community Patch and hit next or whatever button it is to continue that I can't remember. From there within a few minutes the game UI completely starts bugging out making it unplayable. I tested and even without doing the EUI steps the game still bugs out
Hello,
I am new to the civ series, and am starting with Civ V. I read an article and it mentioned in installing this mod. I am wondering whether this works on OSX through steam, and if someone starting CIV V should start by installing these mods? Has this project also been abandoned?
EDIT:
From what I've been reading, as far as I can tell, the major mods like enhanced user interface, and community patch (this one?) and community balance patch, all don't work with my mac version of civ running through steam. Is this correct?
All you will need to do to install the full VP package is run the installer, nothing further to do. All instructions to the contrary are either old versions or for different setups. Also do not use the vanilla version of EUI, only use that which comes with the installer.
Having said that, sadly I feel your problems are much more than that. Your screen shot seems to indicate either a graphics card failure or a graphics driver issue that will need to be dealt with first.
You may also possibly have issues with any game overlay software that you use: Steam, AMD, MSI, and others all supply software that is loaded along with the game and can be called up with a keypress, yours may be broken.
Do you really have to have all of the DLC to use this patch? I have Brave New World and Gods and Kings but I didn't buy all the civilizations as there are so many nice ones (freely) available on the workshop and I never play scenarios. Does this patch really require all the DLC?
Hi guys,
I think there is actually some small problem with the automatic installer. I used it to install CBP and the mod works fine for the most part, but there are UI issues, such as missing texts, and I'm not getting the unhappiness tooltips when hovering over a city name (neither on the city screen or on the main map). It's not a mod conflict because I've never used Civ V with any other mods.
I searched the forums and found another guy with exactly the same problem. (User "Barak" on this thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/guide-introduction-to-happiness-in-vox-populi.565658/ )
Searching into his later posts to see if he found a solution, that user mentions that he has had nothing but trouble with the automatic installer and has switched to manual installation, after which he seems to have solved his UI issues.
I will now try the manual installation myself.
You should probably check on that.
Going to assume you either have an abnormal install, or you moved your copy of civ w/o changing the registry, or you installed a non-steam copy of Civ (i.e. pirated copy). A standard install of civ will work correctly every time.

vyyt said:Or maybe if he is using the Eui version, the Eui could be landing in the wrong place, in case his Steam install is in a different drive than C:? Is it possible?
I have the Steam version and didn't do any strange things with it, but all my Steam games are located on a separate E: drive.
I did not install EUI myself, though I'm always reading that the automatic installer installs it by itself, so I guess its active? When loading mods I can not select the last option "(6a) Compatibility Files EUI" because "its missing required dependencies". Not sure if that's correct or perhaps a hint at what is going wrong.
If you can't enable that, that's why you are getting errors. Check your steam install, clear cache, verify integrity, and drop mods into and out of mods folder while civ is open. Should fix it.
Oh, yes indeed. Looking into the mods folder I saw that the following mods:
(2) Community Balance Overhaul
(6a) Community Balance Overhaul - Compatibility Files (EUI)
contained duplicate directories, probably from an old version of CBP, where instead of "Overhaul" the word "Patch" was used. So either the installer didn't correctly remove the old version first, or I missed the instructions telling me that I need to remove the old version before installing a newer one.
Now the interface is working correctly. Thanks. Didn't expect to find a solution so quickly. =)
And for the first time I see that practically all of my cities are dangerous! :-O
I wonder if its still viable continuing my savegame or if things will be messed up now.
