What exactly is the problem? Have you put your mods in the right folder, got a ModDescription.xml, selected the mod in the options screen and then started a new game?

It looks like the old not text in the mod selection box bug. Just click around inside the mod selection box and the descriptions for the mod you've selected should appear on the right side.

use RAD tools

Click around the inside of the mod section?  I have had the same problem.  I download mods, but they don't appear in the folder.  Not sure if I downloaded it in the right place or not.  So do I drag inside this box to find the mods that I downloaded?  And what about the message next to it saying that there are no mods in the mod folder?  This is pretty frustrating.  

Warning: 3-D modeling is HARD! However, if you know how to make models with "dummies" on them (which I have no idea how to do), you can export them to .x format and replace the actual human hulls with them.

I dont understand the creating a mod folder I have the ultimate edition and i see two things the default choice or the example I tried putting the mods from this site like ships and superheroes etc but the done button never comes up its not a choice basically. I am unsure if I have the right folder or whatever please help

Ok one TBS modder doesnt seem to exist as far as the internet is concerned, but nvm that. The prob I'm really having is that theres no tutorial to mod in starbase components, I'm not looking to make ships dock there (nice as that would be, more experienced modders cant figure it out so **** that) but I WOULD like to make some new modules with different effects. I have seen others have success with this and I would like to try it myself but I have no idea where to look now. Anybody help me out?
