can't seem to get the mods to work right

I extract the file and put the folder under bts/mods, but when I load them they don't seem to be anything different from a normal bts game.

I run it in windows 7 and I have the civ 4 complete (electronic) version installed. I also have the game on dvd (with expansions), does the game run better with mods if I use the dvd instead? I bought the electronic version from gamersgate (if that might make a difference) I have used mods before without any problems. I double checked that I have the 3.19 patch installed. and I am sure I put the mods correct. there is no error messages saying the mods doesn't load properly

There are two mods folders, one in Documents, where your saves are, the other in Applications where the mods that come with the game are. Many mods won't work unless they are in the Applications mod folder. Another possibility is that the electronic version is somewhere else on the drive. In which case you need to put the mods in that location's mod folder. I don't know about gamersgate but this is true for Steam.

I did put the mods in the Program Files/2k Games/Firaxis Games/Civ 4 Complete/BtS/Mods folder

Try clicking on your BTS shortcut on the desktop, going to properties, compatibility, change settings for all users(you need the admin password) and clicking on "Run as an administrator" You have to type in the password before you play, and the saves will go to the admin's documents, but some mods(ROM-AND) need this. I don't know about those ones. If that doesn't work, try re-downloading.

thank you. I will try that

when I clicked on properities I saw that administrator and everybody else is allowed to use it

 

[GGracchus]

Yes, but try setting it to run as an administrator.

 

[00konichiwa00]

lol yes that is right...

it didn't work. the mod are way to quick to load. I loaded RFC beta12, because I would know for sure immedetely whether it got loaded or not.
I have no clue what is wrong. but thanks for the tip
