How do i install MOD's?

I have no tutorial of where to place my MOD's to get them to work. The manual is useless & most people just say stick the MOD in the default folder... WHERE, it has many sub folders? I have tried time & time again to no avail. Please help!!!

There should be instructions with any mod you download. Check the readme files.

And as far as I know, DA does not make a Mods folder. You need to create it yourself.

I have modded my DL game. The mod folder is:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Mods

DA would be under its own directory in a similar fashion.
You would copy the downloaded mod (in its original folder structure) to the respective games mod folder. Then you would set the main mod folder in Options.


Give some specifics as to the mod you are trying to use, and what your current Mods folder is set to in the game options.

First of what is DA compared to DL. Upon opening my MOD folder i have 2 files, Example & Default. Upon opening either i see folders Data, Event Music, GFX, Movies, Music, Screens & Sfx. I have downloaded a number of MOD's none have a folder structure just files. Can you advise any further? Thanks.

How can you not be sure?
What did you buy?
What is installed?

And as I mentioned, it should have a readme file that gives instructions.

Post the link to the mod download and I will try to help further.
