Mod's Wont Work

[darthdodo]

What I mean by "foreign" is mods that don't include in the game. "Rhyes & Fall" would be considered a "domestic mod".

I've downloaded several mods (from this website) all of which give me the same error message:

Failed to read worldbuilder file "c:/program files/firaxis games/sid meir's civilization 4/beyond the sword/mods/(mod name here)/private maps/(mod name here)civs.civbeyondswordwbsave"

Now I do exactly like the read-me files say. I unzip the files, then move the whole mod folder, in this case "Earth 40 Civs" to c:/program files/firaxis games/sid meir's civilization 4/beyond the sword/mods/

It gave the the above error message, so I then tried going into the Earth 40 Civs folder, copying the Private Maps out of it and placing it in *c:/program files/firaxis games/sid meir's civilization 4/beyond the sword/private maps* and playing it like that, but the same problem occurred.

You need to go to Advanced. Then pick, "Load a Mod", then load the mod. Once the mod loads up, you can play the new map. A map for 40 civs wol't play without the gamecore for 40 civs loading up.

Also this is the wrong forum for posting this. A thread here = A new modpack.
