I installed Buffy mod that came with BUG mod, previously i had only BUG, but when i last installed Civ 4 i couldnt find it or get it to work. So i installed Buffy and its working well, except it isnt showing number of cities me and my opponents have on the scoreboard. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?

EDIT: Also other things ive noticed:
1) Buffy mod doesnt say why opponents dont want to trade each tech, BULL used to say
2) It doesnt show whos is each others worst enemy
3) Military Screen doesnt show level of likeliness that opponent might attack me
4) Alt+x doesnt work to put marker of a city layout, when planning cities.

There are probably more, i think im starting to see the pattern. Looks like Buffy mod doesnt want us to know us many things, maybe creators of the mod think that its cheating. But ive played like 500-1000 games with those things, its become part of my game.

If i install BUG will it change things back? Any help removing buffy and installing pure BUG and BULL?

Go to the BUG mod options screen, by clicking on the bug icon on the top left bar. Go to the scoreboard tab. This allows to greatly customize what is shown. In the lower section "advanced options" is where the scoreboard composition can be changed. The string in "column order" is what actually matters.

In that string the number of cities is coded by a "Q". Check if that is present, and if not, add it where you want it to be shown.

Btw, hovering over the "column order" text field shows a tooltip with options.
 
Thank you for your answer! However it doesnt seem to work for me.

As you can see in top left corner i dont have any bull icon and when i go to scoreboard then it shows me all the codes, but Q - cities, are not in this list. I added Q at the end anyway, but nothing changed on the live scoreboard as you can see.
 
3.19.001, you think i really need 005? You think it will fix it? I dont remember how i installed it and i have never uninstalled a mod alone, only together with civ4 or windows. It would be a lot of work for me...
 
I do not have a version history with BUFFY features on hand but I think it is quite possible this was added later on. Thus using the new version should allow the scoreboard to display the city count. I know for certain it works for me using 3.19.005 .

Re: (Un)Installing:

this depends on how you installed it. The typical way of installing a mod is to put it as a folder into the BtS/Mods directory. If it is installed that way, you do not need to uninstall the old version. You can just run the installer provided by the download I liked earlier.

The other possibility is to install a mod into the Custom Assets folder. If you installed BUFFY into your Custom Assets folder, that will have to be removed.

So, about uninstalling the previous BUFFY mod:

first, check if you have a folder called "BUFFY-3.09.001" in your BtS/Mody directory.​
If this folder exists, you can delete the "BUFFY-3.19.001" folder, but you do not need to. The game would recognize this as a different mod from 3.19.005 as the folder names are different.​
If that folder is not present you installed the mod into your Custom Assets folder. I would not expect this to be the case.​
Anyway, the CustomAssets folder should be in the parent directory of the saves folder. If it contains anything more than just folders there is something installed there. If there is something rename the folder (or delete it, if you are sure you do not want to keep anything in it) and the game should create a new, empty CustomAssets folder, removing anything that was installed there.​

To install the new version:

You can then run the installer provided by the download I previously linked to install BUFFY-3.19.005, which should create a "BUFFY-3.19.005" folder in your BtS/Mods directory. IIRC it can also provide a desktop shortcut for launching the mod.​
