Go directly to the mod screen after starting the game

Well I was fed up with having to click a dozen times after starting the game whenever I change something (especially having to dismiss the EULA every time you click on mods) so I did a vanilla mod to remove the legal screens and boot you directly to the mod screen. The situation after launching will be as if you had clicked on "mods" and accepted that you use them at your own risk

Thanks to Dale, I now know a less invasive way of doing this:

Extract the attached archive into your Assets\UI folder (in the vanilla folder). This will create a skin directory, the contents of which are automatically loaded on top of the vanilla files.

Dale has brought it to my attention that there is a way to let the game override vanilla files by creating a "skin" folder inside the UI folder, which is at least slightly less invasive and won't be overwritten with the next patch. Thanks, Dale!

This might be quite useful - indeed.

Firaxis really should address this, but can any computer-savvy modders think of a way to make these things happen (as in civ4)?

1. Have desktop shortcuts that take the player directly to the mod start page.
2. Have gamesave files that I can double click that load the game with the applicable mod(s).

It's silly that a human has to supervise this long tedious process now. I should be taking the garbage out or running other errands during this 5 min loading time.
