Mod Path

Find the <Mod Path> that the game will use.

• Start the game and open the Mods screen. (Options->Mods).

• Click the “Show Mod Path” button.

• A dialog will appear telling you where to place your mods.

Example: Regular EXE

Example: Developer EXE

C:\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.85 Dev

 

Create a new directory here. The name of the directory will be the name of the mod. You must restart the game to see any new mods. You won’t have to restart the engine to change a mod, just to create a new one and have it appear in the list.

 

EnabledMods.txt

Use a text editor to manually add what Sins loads on start-up.
