I did as you suggested after downloading a suitable race, but when I started a new game and got to the Game Setup - Players screen, I clicked on "ADD EXISTING" but the race did not appear. Any ideas ??? Will the race only appear as a random one picked by the computer occasionally ??????
If I understand it correctly, Add Existing only displays races with .emp files. If the download did not include .emp, then what you need to do is keep starting new games with the highest setting for number of computer players, until the race you want is chosen randomly. Go into Options/Players and change that race to human control, and when you play that race's turn, Save Empire. Make sure to give the new .emp a unique filename, rather than overwriting an existing one.
I have not actually tried to do this myself yet, but this is the explanation I remember reading here in the Forum.

human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
