Default mods ?????

Can someone simply explain to me where I can get al the various mods that everyone talks about?

Is there a FAQ anywhere that explains how to install these things ? Its all very confusing to a newbie like me!

Thanks!!!!

Installing the mods is rather easy. Kinda self explainitory. Have you ever looked at the data files and such contained in the SEIV folder?

If you have, then you'll quickly begin to understand what people are talking about as far as altering, moddig and such.

Good luck.

I guess my problem is I would like to try these mods out, but still be able to access the original game without these changes. Is there any practical way to go back and forth from modded to unmodded Version of the game.

Will these mods be compatiable with the 1.21 patch?

Thanks!

What works best for me is to install the game, add the 1.19 patch to it and then make a zip archive of the install. (About 40 megs with max compression.) Then I can edit and change and do what all I want and if something gets really messed up, i just delete SEIV and unzip my backup. Back to square one.

The MOD-Pack 1.01 only alters the races, nothing else. We have included a backup of all the orginial files so you can reverse everything with a simple drag&drop action from the backup folder to the se4 folder.
