Help using InfoAddict

[Jelster]

Wasn't sure whether to ask this here or in one of the mod forums; however....

Having gone to the dark side with a new Windows machine I thought I'd look at a couple of basic mods, and one that a number of people mentioned was InfoAddict.

Now, I've downloaded it and it's switched on in the "Mods" screen, but how do I call it up and look at all this wonderful information it's meant to give me ?

I'm not one for mods usually, but thought I'd give this one a try, but as yet, I can't work out how

Thanks for the help in advance.....

Two points (the first may seem obvious, but is worth mentioning).

1. You need to create a game with InfoAddict enabled; it is not enough to enable InfoAddict in Mods if you then back out of Mods and start a new game from the Single Player menu. Once you've enabled InfoAddict in the Mods screen, click Next and create a new game from there.

2. Every time you go to a civ's Trade or Discuss screen, there will be an InfoAddict button in the lower right corner of that screen. I think there are ways to get to InfoAddict from the main screen (it might be added to the drop-down menu where the Military Overview, Victory progress, etc. menus are).

InfoAddict can be accessed any time. Browd is correct that the dropdown menu containing Demographics, Victory Progress, etc. also contains InfoAddict if the mod is running correctly. Make sure you have the latest version of InfoAddict and that you started the game with it enabled if you don't see it there. Also, I'm fairly certain that you need to load your modded game from the "Mods" part of the main menu, not the "Single Player" part, if you want your mods to load correctly.

I have the exact same problem as Thread Starter.

InfoAddict is shown to be active in the MODS screen.
(the green checkmark is there)

I create a new game, yet the dropdown menu with Demographics and so on do not contain InfoAddict.

I tried exiting to Windows and reloading the game, still no luck.

This is my first time trying a MOD and I can't get it to work.

Any help is appreciated, because the world of MODs look very interesting!

Right, started a new game this evening....

Went to "set up game" in single player mode to set it all up, came out to main menu, went to mods, then "next" then "set up game", checked was still OK and started from there.

InfoAddict is now working.

Thanks guys !!

Ah, I got it now!!!

In the MODS section, after clicking Next so you arrive at the "final" screen where it says InfoAddict is added (or something), at the top of thescreen it says SINGLE PLAYER.
You can actually click this which reveals a dropdown menu with SET UP GAME and LOAD GAME.

Just started a new game and InfoAddict does indeed show up in the Demographics etc. panel.

Thanks!

MOD-land here I come!
