SEIV on Steam: where should I place mods?

[Dogboy]

I just figured Mods out. Fairly easy.

The SEIV Delux version from Steam has many mods in the Extras subdirectory, including the PvK_Balance_Mod that I'd like to use.

Unzip PvK_Balance_Mod into the se4 subdirectory and change the path.txt file as instructed in the readme.txt, namely replacing:

Using Mod Directory := None

with:

Using Mod Directory := PvK_Balance

Now, run the .exe from the se4 subdirectory. There is no indication that the mod has been used, e.g., on the splash screen. But, points for racial traits have changed -- e.g., Deeply Religious has increased in cost to 2000 race points.
