I'm not surprised really

I've added units etc dozens of times during a game

I usually just start a game and continue it when I have made changes to a mod.. usually works (and with usually I mean I can't remember it not working, except sometimes the mod doesn't seem to have updated but then it will later, new sprites work too.)
I still wonder about changing a magic site in an indie province (on start of game at least) which was not your capitol into a capitol site (nation specific) since I never tried that.
