Images changing?

Less work. I don't use the mod launcher, and having them all in the same directory means I don't have to change my unzip directory or my PBW upload directory- and eliminates the possibility of uploading an incorrect turn.

I meant that it is more work keeping track of which savegame loads with which mod using your method. Using the mod launcher, you just extract it to the correct folder, and hit load. WinZip keeps track of the Last 10 folders you extracted files to, so that is not too much of a problem.

Not unzipping the savegame files to more than 1 folder eliminates the possibility of uploading an incorrect turn.

I find keeping track of which game uses which mod easier than keeping Winzip set to the right folder for each extracted savegame.

No, it doesn't. There's this little thing called "user error." I just hit unzip, its done, it isn't even possible for me to unzip to the wrong folder.

Adding a Savegame directory to TDM did the trick.
Thanks Grampa Kim

P-D:
Using the Mod Launcher eliminates the need to type in the path each time you load SE4. It also eliminates the need to hit Load Game, select your empire, and enter your password every time you load up a turn. All of this saved work greatly out weighs the little bit of effort involved in selecting the proper location to unzip the savegame to from the history drop down list in WinZip.

No it doesn't, because the first time I screw up and mis-zip the effort undoing the AI's brilliant ideas will more than outweigh that.

Then you must be really clumsy if that is an issue for you.

Also, simply paying attention to the game prevents sending in the wrong turn. Pay attention to the game date on PBW and in-game. Pay attention to the turn to see if you have played it before. Basically, open eyes prevent problems like this.

And all that takes effort, which cancels out anything you mentioned before.

That and I should have said mis-upload rather than mis zip. The latter just sets up the former.
