Mods do not work for me!

[Basket Case]

I really want to try mods but they do not work for me.

I put them into what seems to be the CIV mods folder (i.e. ...Programs\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods) and load them using CIV's load mod function but they never work right.

For example I tried to load the Serbia mod and while the civ and its leader were added the rest didn't work. When I started a game the Unit flag was plain white and when I founded my first city it was named "TXT_CITY_NAME_BELGRAD" instead of Belgrad.

I also tried the Great Peoples mod and that thing didn't work at all (the promised pop-ups never appeared).

I bought the German version but I changed the language to English and restarted before trying to load the mods (to avoid possible language-related issues). Still they just do not work!

What I'm doing wrong?

are these the only two you tried?

there are some mods known for working properly:
Carthage, Canada, Nederland, Superciv, Celts, Bretagne, Texas

If with any of these it doesn't work, we may say you have a problem

the serbian problem are current ones with new civ mods
i didn't try the GP mods, but IIRC there are some problems with this one too...

HIH (Hope it Helps TM)

It's possible that the Mod programmer has left some bugs in the Mod as well... the TXT_whatever thing you mentioned sounds like such a case

or you did nto properly install all of the required files. Or they didn't give you all of the required files... or...

Tried "Texas" - it works...

good...

so the problems come from mods, not you....
