[GS] Noob Quesiton - Compatibility

[Wasteland Geographic]

Hi Gang,

Geez I haven't been here in seems like 20 years. (New account now)

I just bought Gathering Storm. I'm interested in adding mods for new leaders and civs. Maybe some wonders.

My question is: Should I only download mods on the Steam workshop that specifically require GS, or are others compatible as well?

The only mods I have been using so far are and Atlantis CIV and a "Remove District" mod.

Bonus Question: I see a bunch of mods with the prefix RwF: , but I can't figure out what that means. Google wasn't helpful.

Thanks, Civvers!

You can download any mod you wish, just go to the additional content page before starting a game. There you will see all your downloaded mods. If they are incompatible with the GS expansion there will be a warning in red letters just deselect these, or if none are selected select those you want that are compatible.
I am certain that the RwF is for mods for the Rise and Fall expansion ( are you sure it wasn't R&F?). These may or may not be compatible with GS.

To be on the safe side only subscribe to mods that have been updated since GS has been released - after 2/14 - even if they don't specifically require GS. It's possible some may not work correctly, however, if they haven't been updated for the most recent patch - June 2019 Update on 6/18. It's always a good idea to read the most recent comments, look at the mod's Change Notes, & last date Updated to gauge compatibility and functionality.

RwF = Rule with Faith. It's JFD's overhaul mod that's slowly being updated for the latest patch as separate modular components rather than as a single large mod. Keep in mind though that some of those components require each other in order to function properly - See individual Steam pages.

Thank you, Laurana. I'm enjoying the game and I currently do get some crashes, but not too bad. I will police my mods for the update date. I appreciate your input. I just like lots of different Civs and Leaders in the pool.

A bit of promotion for my friends, but any of the Civs/Leaders from the CIVITAS group are excellent and well maintained. Also, anything from Sukritact is high quality as well.

Cool beans. I've already been subscribing to CIVITAS and will now check out Sukritact.
