Mod keeps reverting to old map?!

[Gary4Civ]

Hi,

I created a mod that somehow had one tile on it belonging to a different leader (not sure how).

So to fix it I re-opened the map in World Builder, changed a few things, added some hills, and saved the map under a new name.

I then deleted the mod previous buddy projects in C:\Users\my name\Documents\Firaxis ModBuddy.

I started a new project, added the new map and built it with a new name.

When I open the mod in Civ 5, the changes such as hills are not there, and I still have the one tile showing up for another Civ.

I have repeated this several times. Its almost as though the mod buddy is using a cached version of the map, or a map stored somewhere else?

Any thoughts on what my problem might be?

Thank You in advance.

ModBuddy builds mods into the C:\Users\my name\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Mods folder, which is where the game picks them up from.

My
C:\Users\my name\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS
folder is empty.

The projects are going into the C:\Users\my name\Documents\Firaxis ModBuddy
folder.

I am not sure how storing them in a different directory from what you show would cause this problem?

Edit:

I went ahead and deleted the projects, rechecked and renamed the map, and built a new renamed project in the Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS
folder. When I created a new game it still opened the old map. I am baffled :-(

In ModBuddy,

Tools -> Options -> Civ 5 (very bottom of list) -> General

What's in the box under "Use Custom Civ 5 User Path"?

 

[Gary4Civ]

Plain path (top option)
c:/program files (x86)/steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v

User Path:
C:\Users\my name\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Saves

and neither is checked.

You've probably got a " C:\Users\my name\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Saves\Mods" folder then

I do - its empty.
I'll make a new map and be done with it. I think there are also some things I am not guessing quite right on when it comes to creating scenarios and loading them - wish there were some clear documentation on the whole process somewhere (is there?).

Thank you whoward. I did not see the Traders Scenario under any of the other headings, but I did follow your link, and after deleting and creating a new test map all is working fine. I may have somehow created a bug with my last process, again not sure how. I appreciate your help!
