How to make mods always load?

[rylasasin]

A little question, but is there a way to make a game load mods by default instead of having to go to the mod menu every single time?

I find it rather annoying that every time I want to reroll my current set up (which I do often), I have to go BACK to the menu, go to mods, then wait for the mods to load, THEN set up my game.

Any way to make NiGHTs load automatically instead?

If i know what your asking for, i have never seen a way to create an icon that when clicked, takes you to NIGHTS - however if you use the mod for Advanced Game Setup (something like that), it helps a lot.

First of all, the mods you used last game are not forgotten - they stay bulbed on unless you delete your cache folder.

second, when you click next, the custom advanced menu will REMEMBER that you want raging barbarians with quick moves, quick combat, your map type etc etc etc.

Also, in the mods screen (you know this by now) you dont have to click your mods, click back, click game blah blah. Instead, you just click mods - then next - then proceed as normal. This works well when you always want to use NIGHTS and makes it easy to test what other mods work with it.

What I mean is when I enter a custom game, but don't like my startup (happens a LOT in archepellego) so I want to start a new game again, or "reroll" the map generation process.

however, I don't want to have to select the mod every single time I do that. Or even just have nights loaded when I start up Civ 5.

You do not have to re-select the mods, because they stay green bulbed. Thus, all you have to do when you re-roll your start is click mods - next - your in.

The only reason you would NEED to roll down the mods list is to disable a mod you think is causing a conflict or to enable a mod altogether.

But your right - i hate it when i want to play "mod a" instead of "mod b" and then i have to spend 8 min's bulbing/unbulbing the EXACT SAME list of mods every time.

To this end, i wish i had the ability to "save all current mods as NIGHTS 1" so i can click JUST the NIGHTS 1 button and auto-bulb alll mods part of NIGHTS 1.

So I can't start a mod straight away like we do in Civ4, using a shortcut on the desktop?
