Hi

I love to use as many mods as possible to add diversity, new gameplay options and content to my games. So I want to make a list of compatible mods. There is a short list of compatible mods on communicants wiki page and I have included those here.

Warning: This list is made from my own simple testing and feedback from other players. I have nothing to do with CEP and I have no clue about programming so things in this list can be wrong. I only do ingame visual testing to see if things looks correct and if mechanics works.

Seem to work with CEP:
Spoiler :
All promotions descriptions tooltip
Ancient building pack
Ancient building pack 2
Buildings - Ancient Era Goldsmith
Buildings - Aquarium
Buildings - Commerce District (ok but same icon for all. Seem a little simple)

Flags +++ (New flags in diplamacy menu, but unit flag and city flag not working)
Prehistoric Era (BNW) (cause serious problems but can hopefully be tweaked/edited to work with CEP)


Will do later:
Add links to all the mods
Organize mods in categories


If you have any experience with mods in CEP or know something about it, please share..

Im taking the liberty to include all mod information from other posts here and other places.

Thanks for any help and thanks to the modders for sharing mods :)

Yes - and I didn't even include my own three personal ones (CEP tweaks, new civilizations and new wonders) :)

But as you'll notice a lot of them are mostly UI stuff. I've been slowly trying out new mods to use with CEP ever since CiV was released so I have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't.

After more testing...

Working well...it seems
All promotions descriptions tooltip
Improvement upgrades
Industrial district improvement
Promotions - Expansion pack
Throne room
 
What about new buildings, wonders, units, resources, promotions and improvments, is there any problems using such mods togheter with CEP? will most of them work?
 
Usually they don't cause direct problems (e.g. crashes, non-working features, ...), but you may find effects from buildings that don't work. Pouakais wonders usually work.

Furthermore CEP tweaks a lot of things, e.g. output from buildings, and if you just use the mods directly they won't be "aligned" with these changes.

Shall test out many building mods now, just love more content :D
 
Tested following mods today

Buildings - Aquarium
Buildings - Commerce District (ok but same icon for all. Seem a little simple)
Buildings - Marine Biology Lab
Buildings - Skylift
Casino Building
City Brothel
Justice and Government Buildings Mo
More buildings
Starbucks Building (ok but "wrinkled" icon and no historic info)
Fortress borders

Work ok but have issues
Cistern and Marina - New Buildings (seem ok but historical text just say TXT)
Classical Building Pack (seem ok but historical text just say TXT)
Production Buildings (Shown wrongly in building list and historic info just say TXT)
Strategic Buildings Pack (seem ok but historical text just say TXT)

Edit: Some building mods was fixed today so I will update first post with the info later.
 
Extended Era mod is NOT compatible. Bummer, this is the only way I play Civ anymore, and I love the Communitas Expansion pack.

Edit: It does run with the expansion pack, but with major flaws. Bonuses from buildings and social policies don't always work. For example, the instant faith from the Indian Vedi building isn't granted. Same with the Greek Odeon's instant culture bonus.

Bummer :( ...was planning to try it later...

At the moment Im testing Prehistoric Era (BNW), and that is NOT compatible with CEP either. But probably possible to tweak/edit to make it work.
 
There is an option in CEG/CEP_Options.sql to adjust research times:

PHP: 
UPDATE GameSpeeds SET CulturePercent=150, ResearchPercent=150, FaithPercent=150 WHERE Type = 'GAMESPEED_EPIC';		-- defaults 150
 
Some more mods:

Seem to be compatible
Cultural Diffusion
Militarily Occupy Territories

Not compatible
RemoteMining (production in cites dont work and I did not receive the resource either)
 
Some mods seem to cause the same problem. I just wonder if there is something in common here, and if that can be fixed?

The problem Im talking about here is that production in cities dont work. All this mods cause the same problem individually, that I cant build anything in any city. When I click change production in Cities or choose production nothing happens.

Here is some of the mod that cause this problem:
Homesteading (a unit and tile improvement)
Colonies (a unit and tile improvement)
Slave trade (new luxury resource and a new building)
RemoteMining (two new units)

All these mods adds either improvements, units or buildings and I use other mods that do the same and that works fine. What is different with these mods?

Anyone have any idea what cause this and how it can be fixed?

Cheers
 
It's likely that many of these mods are a problem with load order (one has to reference the other) as shown here or a problem with the mod forgetting to set some Unit/Building properties as shown here.

Is there a version of Vox Populi that's most compatible with the majority of mods out there?
