Ancient Rome, the Industrial Revolution , others on the entire length of history from Stone Age to Future Age , while others still cover a particular theme fantasy, sci-fi, etc. Mod components : Less comprehensive that modpacks, these usually contain simple interface or gameplay changes and do not alter the core game as much.
Graphic mods, new units, and new civilizations : This type of content usually modifies the interface or graphics of the game, leaving the mechanics unchanged. Popular mods include things that alter the terrain to make it more Earth-like and ones that create a more user-friendly interface. Scenarios, maps, and map scripts : Maps are, unsurprisingly, files that allow you to play a game of Civ4 in a premade setting. The most popular ones are Earth maps that place civilizations in historically-accurate locations and mimic reality.
Scenarios are like maps, except that they contain preplaced units and cities, may have mod-like rule changes and custom content, and take place over a particular period of time. Map scripts, like the standard map scripts included with the game Continents, Archipelago, etc. Utilities : These are out-of-game tools that make modding or playing the game easier, simplifying the process of, say, installing mods or creating map files.
Keep in mind when downloading mods explained in the next section the amount to which you are willing to change the game mechanics. While things like maps and map scripts will not alter the gameplay, modpacks and scenarios can change the game rules dramatically. Experimentation to determine your personal preferences is best! All types of mods and content can be downloaded from the Civilization IV File Database , which organizes files by type scenario, map, mod, etc.
Almost all of the files there are ZIPs, a file type that can be opened using a program like 7-Zip , which is free. Note that mods for Civ4 without expansions are not compatible with Warlords the first expansion or Beyond the Sword the second expansion.
They should then visit steamworkshop. This will take players to a page where they can manually download the mod, and that is exactly what they should do. Next, a player must put the mod into the correct location, and for those fans that have downloaded Civilization 6 for free from the Epic Games Store that location is " From there, fans can confirm that their Civilization 6 mods are activated by launching the game and clicking on "Additional Content.
Additionally, fans can see the mods that are running during a game of Civ 6 by pressing "Esc" and looking at the bottom of the resulting window. I click the Online button again and it still says the file has been downloaded. So, still stuck between steps 8 and 9. What's the next suggestion? Last edited by Servius; October 12, at PM.

What is that? I cannot find a mod folder either to do it the old fashioned way. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. October 29, , AM Re: How to install a mod for Civ 5 Seriously great explanation Pilgrim. Love the detail of it. I have two questions for you and others. This is coming from essentially a newbie. Not to Civilization at all, but a newbie to modding in ANY way. I have always been worried about modding games. So, I've never done it and never spent enough time to research it's ups and downs.
My question is this - If I use any of the mods I find online, can I easily go back and play the game originally without any of the mods? Or are any mods I do not scenario mods of course permanent? Basically I only want to start experimenting with downloading mods if I know I can always go back to the original gameplay if I don't like them. What got me into looking at mods, is a type of mod I always had in my head that I wish could be tried.
I always thought it would be VERY cool to play the game, where when you capture another civ's capital, that you get their civ's special ability. But if you capture Beijing, you would automatically get the Great General bonuses that they had. And, if you continue on and capture Tenochtitlan, you start to get culture bonuses for killing enemies, etc.
And if any of them capture their capital back, they get their powers back probably would be quite difficult in most cases. I think you get the idea. Appreciate the help with both questions!
