HELP: Missing required mods

[MGUY10]

Hello,

I am relatively to Civ 5. I know how mods are supposed to be run, through the mod menu. I have wanted nothing more than to play a Cold War Scenario as America. However, whenever I save and attempt to re-load my game, the "load game" button is greyed out, and it tells me "Missing required mods."


Mods I am running:

ALL Days of Sadat (excluding October War and Multi Player)
Ingame Editor v39
JFD's The Republic of France v1
Logan's A10 Warthog Unit v2
Special Forces Mod v4
Supercarrier v2
Chairman Mao Zedong of the People's Republic of China v10
ICBM Nuclear Missile v2


I have searched and searched but have been unable to find a solution that works for me. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you going through the MODS menu, clicking "NEXT" while in the MODS menu, in order to progress to the modded games menu where you can select to load a saved game ?

Thanks for the fast reply LeeS, but yes i have been doing that

 

[MGUY10]

even if i am in-game playing the save i wish to load, the load button is still greyed out. which makes no sense because i am currently playing with the exact mods that it wants.

 

[MGUY10]

can anyone help me?

 

[MGUY10]

does anyone know how to fix this? I have searched for hours trying to find a solution that actually works. I thought it might be due to IGE but IGE is not save-altering.

The problem is that it is NOT the exact mods that it wants. There's something missing or something changed.

Trouble-shooting hint(s):

1. after you select the save game but before you click the LOAD SAVED GAME pushbutton, there will be a clickable word "MODS" showing towards the bottom of the window under the leader, saved filename, etc.
   • click on the word MODS, and it will bring up a listing of all mods required to run the saved game, along with the required version number of each mod. Compare this list with what you have enabled and available in the MODS menu. (sometimes you need to write it down on a notepad to keep track of it all)
2. If even one of the required mods from the list is not present in the list of available mods, or you have accidently updated it to a higher version number than the one you were using when the savegame file was created, you are done, there is not much you can do at that point.
   • Re-downloading will generally not work because now the mod load-order will be out of sequence, and any mod-added units, buildings, policies, resources, etc, will not be in their proper order, and will be corrupted in terms of what buildings, wonders, units, etc., are located where on the main map or in cities. The city build-qeues will also usually be corrupted.
3. If a mod somehow got unchecked in the MODS menu, you can usually re-click the 'enable' button for that mod and everything will be fine so long as the previous item number is not true.
4. I have experienced one or two occasions where Steam 'stole' a mod out from under me mid-game. For some reason I have never figured out, it appears Steam was trying to re-download one or more mods, and in so doing the mod got corrupted and all I had was an empty folder instead of a full mod.
5. Mods are all sent to individual folders within the larger folder generally found at: Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/MODS

It also couldn't hurt to clear the cache and ModUserData folders.

Thank you so much for the fast reply! I will try that now...

Update: I triple checked my mods versions by taking a picture of the list and comparing it to what i saw in the file explorer, and all appeared to be correct. I have also followed your suggestions to clear my Cache folder and ModUserData folders. Still no luck.

Anybody have any ideas?
