DA may not have a mods folder of its own if you've never used it before; if you go to DA's options, click the change mods directory button, then click the Default button in the corner of the resulting window, it will make a new one in DA's folder and set it to use it.

The customplanets file is located at GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English\CustomPlanets.xml.

Just open them in a text editor such as notepad (they're plain text).

You would need to make new textures in a graphics program, and assign them to planets in customplanets.xml.

For more detailed help, please see the Official Modding Guide stickied in the Modding subforum.

if all the files in your galciv2 folder on gone, you shouldn't be able to run at all galciv2 because the executable is in there. would you mind clarifying your statement?
