problem with proportions mod

[delijoe]

I installed SEIV gold and the proportions mod as shown in the readme, and when I start the game it gives me error Messages when I try to load an existing empire...and even when I create my own empire when I start the game, the system window is completely black. I tried manually changing the path file, same result. What am I doing wrong? Is the proportions mod on the CD corrupt? It seems like other mods are working just fine.

Empire files do not work between mods with different Racialtraits.txt files. You have to start from scratch.

In the case of the Blacked-out game; that is a wierd quirk, and seems to only happen once per mod.
To get around it, save the game (you can still see the file menu), then load the game, and everything will appear.
