Installation Questions

Hello everyone, I have recently (tried) to download the "Sins of a Galactic Empire"

Mod. I have the 1.05 update for Sins and the download worked well except I have a small problem. When I go to Download it the 'Open With' has the horrible 'Sims 2 Body Shop' as the selection and I don't know what i should use to open it.

It's a dumb question but I honestly haven't a clue. Also after I download it what do I do?

Use WinRar (or 7zip, or ... many other programs ) to extract to Sin's mods directory. And then it should appear as a mod to activate within the Sins menus.

 

Note: it does not work with 1.05. You must have the 1.1 patch, which you get from Stardock's Impulse system

 

 

This is the official from Eville Jedi

—————————-==Installation =—————————————

 

Extract rar file to your C:\Documents and settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\ path

(Vista is slightly diffrent, I think it is C:\users\\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\)

 

in game select the mod from the mod options panel and click load at start up, if it doesn’t show up then check your path again (go to the ironclad forums for this http://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/forum/443)

 

(I am sticky'ing this topic for all installation questions)

Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

C:\Documents and settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\ path and

C:\users\\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\ do not exist for me. I get as far as application data and there is no Ironclad Games folder present. I'm wondering if this is due to the fact I downloaded the game off of Impulse and not the store version.

I think you just create a Mods folder then. But I don't know why you're not seeing an Ironclad Games folder. Perhaps something is different from the Impulse version or a change in one of the patches, I really don't know.

And I was so foolish at to place the mod in a double folder (soge\soge) and was wondering why it didnt work.

 

I can happen if you extract it with out chekcing and makeing sure the path is correct.

I'm pretty sure it will work 1.11 up to atleast 1.13. I don't know if it will work on 1.15, but silverwarrior4 said he is running it on 1.13. It won't hurt to try, just drop it in the mods folder and try it. If it doesn't work, just delete it and wait for another release or reinstall to 1.11 only if you want to play real bad :).

For Impulse issues, you really do need to go to Stardock about that

I installed the Mod correctly and have 1.16.051 but the mod doesn't seem to work. It wont show up in the "mod" section when I open the game. I've checked and reinstalled it about a dozen times. Any ideas what could be wrong?

 

 

thanks,

Segur

 

EDIT:

 

Found the problem. Apparently 1.16 adds a new mods folder that you have to move everything to.

I'd like to play this mod, but honestly, it is so complicated. Anybody can tell me exactly what do I need? There are 3 Sins game now: Diplomacy, Trinity, Entrenchment. Which one would I need to buy? Where can I buy-it? There doesn't seem to be a Sins of a Solar empire regular anywhere. I know where to find the Entrenchment Expansion pack, but it says I need the aforementionned version and all they'll sell as the "full" game is trinity, which seems to be more recent than this mod. Please, if you could tell me exactly what I need to buy, that would be great.

Trinity includes the base game, along with both expansions Entrenchment and Diplomacy.

It's absolutely worth it to buy it, as you can run any of the three by themselves.

 

Currently this mod requires Entrenchment... but future version will probably require Diplomacy. So just go and get Trinity and you'll have no worries

So where exactly can I get this mod? I've looked all over your forum and the closest I've found was "download links coming soon" at the tail end of the 1.0e release.

Sorry if this is a repeated question, but I couldn't see a straight answer anywhere..

 

 

I have a vanilla install of just SOSE - what updates and/or expansion packs do I need to use the mod?

You need the Entrenchment Expansion. I have mine patched to 1.51 I think or 1.051 or something like that. I believe what you need is 1.04 but it works with my patched version.

 

Take Care and God Bless,

Lharrs
