thirdbest_d Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hey all! I'm a relative Noob to TEW but ive been reading the forums and have seen some amazing sounding mods that I want to incorporate and play... However, I have scoured the help file and the FAQ etc. in an attempt to find out how to download these files, where to save them, and how to play them but as of yet have not been able to find a description of how. I am not that tech savy. Anyone that has advice, can explain how to go about doing this, or can point me in the right direction would have my eternal gratititude. Thanks for your time!

D-Lyrium Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The link to download the mod should be in the thread in the Mod forum where you read about it. If not, try bobinc.net (the unofficial go-to site for all things TEW Mod-related). Once downloaded, simply unzip the file into your TEW2010/Databases folder. Once that's done, load up TEW2010 and click the Database Options button (third from the left on the main title screen), select the mod, and start a new game. Note that if you've downloaded any picture packs associated with the mod (some may have come with the download), they go in the TEW210/Pictures folder (so the full path should be TEW2010/Pictures/DatabaseName/). You'll then have to go into the Editor -> Edit Database -> Database Info and change the Picture Folder dropdown box to the folder associated with the mod. For example, if you downloaded the Know Your Role 2010 mod, you'd download it and unzip it to TEW2010/Databases, go into the Database Options screen and select KYR2010. Any pictures would go into the relevent folder in TEW2010/Pictures/KYR2010/ (worker pictures, for example, would go in TEW2010/Databases/KYR2010/People/). Then go to the Editor -> Edit Database -> Database Info and set the Picture Folder dropdown to KYR2010, so that the game knows where to look for pictures. It's easier to do than it is to explain, promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denzil85 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 D-Lyrium has explained it well and he's right, it can be a little confusing at first, but once you've done it a couple of times, it becomes second nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
