Help Downloading Rise of Mankind!

[MrJones325]

So I searched all over the forums and google for a solution, but I couldn't find one so I made an account.
I recently got Civilization, and have used smaller mods before, but this is the biggest modpack I have ever used. Basically I put it in my mods folder, but It will not appear at all in game.
When I first tried extracting it, I got error messages, so I instead extracted it straight to desktop and moved the folder. That didn't work, so I tried directly extracting it to mods again, and it did, but it still wont appear.
I downloaded this game off of Steam, so I tried both the Firaxis directory and the Steam directory, neither letting it appear.
I also recently downloaded Civ Gold, but due to uninstalling and reinstalling civ 4 and BtS, I lost it (although the picture of the space shuttle is still on the main menu).

I think it may be a problem with Vista, but I have no idea, can anybody help???

Hey there...

...are you sure you placed the directory under civ4/BTS/mods (and not civ4/mods) ?
If so, try this: open civ4/bts/_Civ4Config with a text editor.
Search for: 'Specify a Mod folder' and change the '0' to 'Mods\Rise of Mankind'.

save + exit

When you start BTS now, the game will automatically load RoM.
To unload you have to change back to '0'.

Good luck.
