That is how the shortcut looks for me:

C:\games\Colonization\Colonization.exe mod="/Religion_and_Revolution"

Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\civilization iv colonization\Colonization.exe" mod=\Religion_and_Revolution

Start In: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\civilization iv colonization\Mods"


For some odd reason, unknown to me, my shortcut broke...

Maybe Try:
(I think the Forward Slash "/" is important.)

Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\civilization iv colonization\Colonization.exe" mod="/Religion_and_Revolution"

Is your shortcut working?

I'm on Windows 7 32 bits with a copy from Steam.

I put my mods in

C:\Users\JFG\Documents\My Games\civilization iv colonization\MODS\

If they're not there, Colonization doesn't find them when using the "Load a Mod"

With a shortcut :

Target: "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\civilization iv colonization\Colonization.exe" mod="/AssignSorted2"

Start in : "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\civilization iv colonization"

Colonization finds the mod ([AssignSorted2] : ...) and AssignSorted2 is in the top right corner.

But if I try to load a game (played with AssignSorted2), the restart dialog appears with

blah blah blah
"\Mods\AssignSorted2"
The application must restart, Ok?

Thanks

JFG
