Mod Wont Install Correctly

[Originengel]

I have a mod up that I am currently working on, it just changes the Production speeds etc in marathon/epic.

As it stands it works, the issue is that anyone that downloads it cannot Install it.

When you go to Install it flashes the Install Screen that says 1/1, but instantly disappears... And does not install the mod.

I was hoping someone had experience in fixing this issue. Thanks.

Anyone else running into this issue with their mods? I know a few Mod's have been having issues with it, but no one has posted anything in response to why it is happening, very frustration and a downer towards having the urge to continue to mod things.

Is your Steam installation on a drive other than C:\? If so, Install Mods doesn't work quite right. You need to manually go to C:\Users\<your user>\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\ and extract the .civ5mod file. To do so you need 7zip installed, then just right click on the civ5mod file and tell it to extract to whatever location you want using 7zip.

Well the issue more stems from the fact that the Mod Browser is failing to Install it. Which isn't just affecting me, its affecting everyone who tries to download it. I was wondering if anyone has come to a workable fix for it.... Even though I am leaning towards it being something wrong with a Bug in the system, I am still holding out hope there is a fix that doesn't require out of the game solutions. As most people in my belief wouldn't take the time to Alt-Tab out or Exit once a Mod fails to install via the browser.

The example of what's happening is basically... Whenever anyone downloads the mod, it downloads, they click the "Install Mods" button in the Browser, and it flashes the Install screen so fast, obviously does nothing, then there is nothing installed. Sat there about 30 minutes last night with a friend on Mumble trying to figure out how to get it working.

I'm personally confused on the mods in this game. Is it that we can only use one at a time? They seem to come up randomly for me aswell... sometimes I'll have the clock mod (the example on, that you could DL on day one), some times I'll have the hardwood mod, sometimes I'll have both, sometimes I'll have neither. I have afew other mods too, the one that gives more city-states and some that add more food or more production.

Does its best to answer your question. However, there seems to be some bugs in the system still as shown by the bug I have run into with my mod being uninstallable(Others too have had this issue, so I know im not alone).

I have heard of some people where half their mods work, and where yet others can not even install a single mod via the Mod Browser.. Leading me to believe there is something not quite working in the Mod Browser yet.
