I'm at my wit's end. I've been trying to write a very simple mod that halves the production costs of units, buildings, wonders, and districts. I downloaded a mod that is known to work (I even tested it on my own system) and adapted/reverse-engineered the code from there. I placed my two mod files (an SQL and a MODINFO file) in their own folder in the same directory as the original working mod that I used as a model. Still, no matter what I do, my mod seems to have no effect.
My SQL file consists of just three lines:
UPDATE Buildings SET Cost = Cost*0.5;
UPDATE Districts SET Cost = Cost*0.5;
UPDATE Units SET Cost = Cost*0.5;
And the info file just looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Mod id="81z17add-b666-56a5-zd45-6332b2265e11">
<Properties>
<Name>Half-Cost Production</Name>
<Stability>Beta</Stability>
<Teaser>Build buildings, districts, wonders, and units twice as fast!</Teaser>
<Description>This fairly simple mod halves the production cost of buildings, districts, wonders, and units!</Description>

I'm suspicious that the problem is my SQL file somehow not being read. That is because, to test it, I tried altering the cost only of Scouts and altering the base movement of settlers (so that the syntax would be more directly analogous to what I saw in the sample mod that I used as a template), and neither experiment really changed anything in the game. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any advice!
