Yes, I've done that. And I've downloaded the new mods. Very cool! Looking forward to using them.

I'm posting the all-mod battle royale either later tonight or tomorrow night. I'll get your new mods in a later episode.

The All-Mod Battle Royale is now up at

you put urself down a lot but u played well! especially given you didn't benefit much from your leader and mementos, as you prepared for war but didn't end up getting threatened too much. very fun video!

Thanks. Yeah, I got all dressed up for defense and nobody attacked, except the independents at the end. The next partial playthrough will be an all-domination crew ("regular" Civ leaders) at deity level. I've given it a dry run and it's a barn burner. Then I'm going to do an Exploration Era all-mod battle royale.

Btw, I'm having problems starting up with Sophia and the Sikh Empire. I'd like to have her in the next mod battle, but I get a "Content configuration validation failed." I get that for a number of mods. When I first downloaded them, I believe they worked then. There are a few mods giving me grief, so I might be wrong about these, but I just tried them again and got a clean game start when I turned them off.

when you get a database error, if ur on windows, go to:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VII\Logs
there, you can open Database.log in notepad,
if you let me know what that says, i can find the issue. it's likely a clash with another mod, but one i can fix easily with that info.
ignore any lines that talk about mementos and foreign keys.

I'm on MacOS. What do I type into Finder? I tried the same info (with the squiggly line in front and my username), but it didn't work.

it should be a similar filepath to your mods folder. where you normally put your civfanatics mods: go to its parent folder, then go to the Logs folder.

I just tried to load her up again and the log hasn't updated yet. But one recurring error shows up: ERROR: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed. Don't know if that's it, though, because I see it throughout this morning's logs even though I haven't had any error messages in the game. It has frozen once, mind you.

if it's not right after the game's failed to load in, it won't give any relevant errors.
the foreign key errors are to do with it not liking the fake mementos it thinks shouldnt exist, but they don't stop the game from working, theyre just warnings.

So, here's what I have this time, a few lines after SOPHIS is mentioned:

[2025-07-09 07:30:38] [IconManager] ERROR: UNIQUE constraint failed: IconDefinitions.ID, IconDefinitions.Context, IconDefinitions.IconSize

Oops, SOPHIA

The other day, I was looking at the data log in the wrong chronological order. That's why I wasn't seeing the right error message.

i'll need a couple lines before and after that: from this i can't tell what icon it's about or if it's to do with one of my mods. if you can't fit enough in a single comment you could attach a screenshot.

Not sure how to attach a screenshot. As an attachment or as an image? Either way, I have to have a url?

When I just drag it into the comments box all I see is a giant version of the screen shot and no visible way to send.

click here, then click (or click here), and upload the screenshot, and it'll embed.

i'm afraid that's a file path to a screenshot on your own computer: i cant access that.
you should be able to send it if you drag it in, just may need to scroll down further to post the comment.

So, I have Sophia working now. But I still see Benjamin Franklin in-game instead of her. I have Izica's Leader Model Changer turned on. Is there anything else I can do?
