@Tekamthi could you do it and then post screenshots of every step (it wouldn't only help me, a novice at modding, it'd help anyone wanting to play hotseat with all 43 civs). I ask because the instructions don't touch on the specific 43 civs part and even the author, @Agiwan, doesn't seem to know how it's done (I'm not trying to slight him). Since you've done it before, Tekamthi, I'm sure he'd also appreciate your knowledge on this aspect. What do you think?there's no difference w/ 43 civ from non-43-civ as far as making a modpack goes. see OP under the quoted heading and follow instructions there:
Is this in relation to 43 civs?Okay, probably dumb question, but where do you put this stuff for single players? (I don't have that steam folder at all)
@Agiwan, he is instructing us on how it is possible to create a mod with 43 playable civs. I've never modded before, and this (along with your instructions posted on the first page), looks like a lot of work on my end. I assume that you already have most of it done (being that you wrote the instructions). You only need to do this little part and then upload the mod files to Steam.The next time I make one I will do this, but it may be a while. I imagine others have made one on recent version its just a matter of calling their attention to this thread somehow.
I've been under the assumption you at least have the 43-civ version of VP mod installed? Thats really all it takes as far as 43-civ goes. If you're completely new to the 43-civ version of the mod, then you have to specifically select the 43-civ version in the VP installer -- its the same VP installer though, all bundled together.
So, for 43-civ modpack, as additional prep to the instructions in OP, I would suggest the following:
I think the biggest pitfall of this process is once you add the modpack maker mod, the game will appear unplayable -- its mentioned in the instruction but worth repeating; when this happens just ignore the UI glitch and proceed to the firetuner stuff as described in OP. Its hacky and feels broken at that part, but we've all had to muck through this, the instructions here are solid. Its slightly easier if you run civ 5 in windowed mode, but you can still alt+tab if not
- In the "preparation" phase of the OP instruction, make sure you install the 43-civ version of VP via the all-in-one installer for latest version of VP
- load all your desired mods (for 1st time through this process just use VP, keep it simple til you can confirm success) but WITHOUT activating the modpack maker, and test for a ~dozen turns in-game, specifically confirm you can add 43-civs and everything plays as expected through first few turns
- Quit and return to mod menu, make sure all the mods you just tested are still checked/active
- begin the "main step" in the OP instruction
Is this in relation to 43 civs?
I'd try reinstalling it.No, just normal games. I don't have the DLC folder in my single player install.
Yeah I can create a 43civs modpack. I am not at home for the moment, I come back this Sunday.@Agiwan, he is instructing us on how it is possible to create a mod with 43 playable civs. I've never modded before, and this (along with your instructions posted on the first page), looks like a lot of work on my end.

Is it too much to ask if you could quickly create this as a mod anyone could subscribe to on Steam?
Every base Civ5 installation should have a DLC folder. Maybe you have installed Civ5 in another location than the default one ?No, just normal games. I don't have the DLC folder in my single player install.
So it'll be posted here or on Mod DB? Perhaps we could find someone who knows how to take those files and make them available on Steam. Someone in this very thread might know.Yeah I can create a 43civs modpack. I am not at home for the moment, I come back this Sunday.
For me it is easier to just copy past 3 folders instead of use steam (I have no idea on how to create something on steam, and it is way less versatile than chose your version and install it manually by copy paste some folders).

So you think it's impossible?It was probably close to 5 years ago I last made one, it def worked back then but VP's seen a lot of changes since
If its broken now, I can only speculate, but I'm guessing it occurred when devs moved the functionality of the vanilla 'Worlds' table to other tables and/or the dll
Do you think the updated version will help with 43 civs hotseat?Updated to 3.10.8 \o/
Looking at discord there will be a 3.10.9 update soon. I will try again the 43 civs mod when it will be out.So
So you think it's impossible?
Do you think the updated version will help with 43 civs hotseat?
It still doesn't work on my side :/ I don't know what I am doing wrong.So
So you think it's impossible?
