I did format my pc yesterday,then i re-installed all drivers and finally civ5,i downloaded the mods i was using before the format and i put them in mods folder,after i launched the game,i click install mods but nothing came to list,the only thing i can active or deactive is the mongolian scenario.
So what i have to do?
Thanks :)
 
Maybe you're trying to use the Mygames folder of the backup and not the MyGames folder that is now used by Windows?

Have you tried reinstalling civ5?
 
No but i'm planning to reinstall when i can spare some time.
and
i'm not sure if i understand what you are trying to say about mygames folder,if you can explain it further,i'll appreciate that.
Thanks for the respond :)
 
Well typically the settings (and the mods) are stored on Mygames which in turn is located on the Documents (Or my documents if you're on XP).
What I'm trying to say is that perhaps before you formatted you've backed up such folder, and when you did reinstall windows you keep looking to that folder, even if a new MyGames folder has been created.
Sorry, I'm not a native speaker.
 
Are you sure you're looking on the right place? Maybe the .inis and the settings everything is somewhere else and not just there. Go to the folder where you installed the game, and from there go to Saves, it should be a direct link to where everything is stored. From there check if your mods are in.
 
Well the following may be dumb; but anyway:
Can you try to move the default folder where the saves are located? I mean change the registry to pin point another folder. I can remember some weird situation a long time ago when the system could not enter some folder... anyways, it's worth the try. I believe that if you use the search function of the windows registry editor and look for all references to that folder you might be able to change it... don't forget to back it up though...
That's the idea I have now, nothing else, sorry.
