I'm trying to mod my game but the mods aren't working. After some testing, I found that what I want to do, removing the large empire penalty is possible and should work the way I tried to do it. I placed my modded file in ..\my games\GalCiv3\Mods\Game\ and created a test game, with no joy. I saw the readme has "My Games" while my folder was "my games" so I tried changing them to match and still no joy. After that I though my beta files might be causing issues, I turned off Steam Cloud syncing, uninstalled, deleted all local files and reinstalled. I ran the game so local content would be created, turned on mods, added the desired files to the mod folder and still no joy. Finally I decided to mod the game data itself to verify my modding attempt worked. This worked exactly as I planned but I returned the file to its original state since as soon as the next patch comes out my game won't work the way I want it to.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit edition Home, Galciv3 is running on my C drive so it should work as intended but it isn't and I have no idea why not. Let me know what other information you need to resolve this issue.
