Load save game with BUG Mod!

[Delta458]

Hello,

I have a save game in which I didnt play with BUG mod installed. Now I installed it and I want to play the save game.

But a message appears saying that it has to change to Mod: None. and then the game restarts in normal mode again without the bug mod.

Is it possible to play a non-bug mod save game with the bug mod?

Short answer: No, it isn't.

Long answer: It's just the way the game works. You could try installing BUG in CustomAssets which might work, but I'm not too sure.

The thing with a mod is that it overwrites XML files. Civilizations, art, the Civilopedia, these are all changed to use the ones in the mod as opposed to standard ones. This means that you cannot play a game which uses bits and peices that arent included in the mod to begin with, otherwise the game crashes. For example, if I have a mod where I can play, say, the Cubans, and save my game, it saves the data from the mod as well. Because it needs to access those files, it wont load without the mod itself loaded.

So make sure you're in No-Mod for loading vanilla games, or the correct mod for the correct save.

You can do this easily by installing BUG using the installer and choosing the CustomAssets install option. This way all non-mod games you play will use BUG, and uninstalling it won't stop you from finishing those games.

When you install a mod like BUG or most others as a mod -- i.e. into the Mods folder -- then you must use that mod to continue the game. BUG gives you the option to choose which method you want.
