Installing Mods on Civ5 for Mac

I am experiencing this same issue. I am unable to click on any of the menu. in addition to what he said, there id also the text at the bottom of the screen that says "InvalidVersionNumber"

did I looked through the old lua file and can't find anything differences... I only pasted in the two dashes.

 

Hi Alan,

I am looking for a folder ~/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civ5campaign/Data/Library/Application Support/Civilization V Campaign Edition/MODS with no luck. There is no such container, but i have played the game.

Could it be under different name because it was not purchased from the app store or steam? or is it compatible at all.

Thanks,

Ben

 

It was a pirated version of the ayspr campaign edition. I'm now wondering if there is a save location for that data that is not stored in the same location.

Hello all,

Been a while and cracked open Civ V lately (Mac App Store version with all expansions) (purchased btw ) but can only play the Vanilla version, still working out a wee bit of a Mods problem.

Have the aforementioned directory (~/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civ5campaign/Data/Library/Application Support/Civilization V Campaign Edition/MODS/) and been trying to load up with my mods in that folder, but Civ V crashes and quits on startup. It'll play the intro vid but then dies, most horribly. Without mods in that folder, Civ V works just fine. 'tis confusing. Was working last time I played, but that was several OS updates ago. I don't believe Civ V has had an update since...

Anyway, hoping someone else has ideas. I'll be checking versions (and report back later) and permissions etc etc etc soon.

Just REALLY want to play that Australia Civ mod.... 8***( lol

 

Hi AlanH,

I did exactly as you said. Community Patch itself and the mods depending on it do not work. Community Patch gives an error ''This mod is not compatible with this version of game''. But other mods such as More Luxuries works perfectly. Do you know the solution?

 

I have the App store version. I did everything you said to do, but when I launch the game it says I have "Invalid Version number" and I can't click on anything. It does show the MODS menu button.
I kept the original copy of "MainMenu.Iua" so when I put that back in the game works fine.
No matter what I did, I couldn't save the original file using text edit, so i saved a duplicate in plain text fromat and added the ".lau" extension.

 

The Mac Steam version now directly supports MODS, so the procedure in op should not be necessary.

The App Store version is (and always was) marketed as being single-player only, and I would not be surprised to learn that they implemented some kind of checksum to prevent the procedure in op.

 

So I can't use the Civ editor with the app store version?

 

@WurldUvN8 it looks to me like app store version is no longer marketed as being the “Campaign Edition” – so maybe the earlier limitations with MODS is no longer an issue? But the editor available for OS X version of Civ5 is very limited, so you might not be able to get the editor you are looking for in any case.
