Need help for Civ 5 mod, first turn production crash.

1. This code from your Buildings.xml file is no good:
   Spoiler :

   Code:

   	</Row>  
     </Buildings>

   • <ReplacementBuildingClass> in table <Buildings> is used to specify a class of building that will supplant (for example) BUILDING_PEACEKEEPER_FOUNDRY. So if I specify
     Code:

     <ReplacementBuildingClass>BUILDINGCLASS_THINGAMAJIG</ReplacementBuildingClass>

     within the definition of BUILDING_PEACEKEEPER_FOUNDRY what I am telling the game is that as soon as the tech required for a BUILDINGCLASS_THINGAMAJIG building is researched, BUILDING_PEACEKEEPER_FOUNDRY will no longer be constructable in any of my cities, and I will have to construct the building that is correct for my civilization from within BUILDINGCLASS_THINGAMAJIG.
   • The result as you are trying to use <ReplacementBuildingClass> is an irreconcilable conflict because you are attempting to tell the game that a Building-Class will replace itself when the correct technology for the Building-Class is discovered.
   • Eliminate entirely the two lines shown in red. This will fix your crash-to-desktop.
2. You are also assigning 4 great works of music slots to a Palace-Class Building. Palaces are hardcoded in the game's file that controls the Culture Overview Panel, so in order to get it to work you also need KyteM's Dynamic Culture Overview mod. You can also just add the files from KyteM's mod into your mod. Many of JFD's mods do this, as does Pouakia's Enlightenment Era mod, so you can use these as a reference on how you need to set-up the files from KyteM's mod.
3. You don't need the JPG, PNG, or BMP files that are attached as part of the mod. Eliminate them from the mod and save some memory space. If you want to keep them as reference just copy them using your normal browser to the overall project folder directly under Documents/Firaxis ModBuddy/, then from within ModBuddy delete the files from the mod.
4. Your unique unit that is both a great musician and a great general will probably not cause the game to crash since you have defined it as belonging to the great musician class of unit, and no other unit-class. But an AI will never use the unit to make a Citadel.

Thanks for your help. I knew something was wrong with the buildings. About the Music slots, though. What exactly am I supposed to look for in the files in the Dynamic Culture Overview mod and the Enlightenment Era mod?

IIRC, the Dynamic Culture Overview (DCO) debugs the culture overview UI.
For example, without DCO, if you add a great work slot to a building that originally didn't have one, the slot simply doesn't show up in the Culture overview! The same goes if you remove a great work slot from a building that originally did have one, it will keep showing up as if it had a great work slot! DCO simply fixes that issue (IIRC)

Troller is correct.

What you want is the entire set of files from KyteM's Dynamic Culture Overview mod. You copy all of his files as-is without attempting to edit them, and then you make settings within your ModBuddy Project for these files in the same manner as is done within KyteM's mod. If you look at KyteM's mod, and open the xxxx.modinfo file for his mod in Notepad or some other text editor, the modinfo file will show you all the settings made for KyteM's mod when he created it in ModBuddy.

If you look at the modinfo file for the Enlightenment Era mod, you will see the same filenames are listed, and the settings within the modinfo file that relate to the files taken from Dynamic Culture Overview and added into Enlightenment Era are the same between the two mods and their respective modinfo files.

Alright, I did that. I added the xml through the actions tab and added the lua through the content tab. I didn't change any of the files' content, but when I test the mod, the culture overview menu opens when the game starts and won't close! Any fixes of this guys?
