Noob Help!

from Sins Forums

My son is just starting to look at mods and currently we cant even get a mod to work, let alone start looking at the rest of the utilities. Yes it is in the right directory, shows up in the menu but as soon as we enable we get a runtime error crashing the game. Tried to find an answer through the forums, and expected a basic walkthrough in the stickies as to how to use mods with sins etc., but no luck. Not new to computers or modding with other programs, but this one has me stumped.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Depends on the mod. Some work with the current version of Sins, some work on older versions.

You need to have Sins updated with the latest patch from Impulse according to the mod thread.

Also make sure you have the latest version of the mod.

Generally, enabling the mod is the last step in getting one to work, so you might want to ask in the mod thread. They might know more about the problem.

I don't know if this is happening to everyone but for some reason, some mods won't work if there is several folders missing, no, the gameinfo, and mesh, string, textures, windows is there but i believe if you don't have galaxy, movie, particle, pipeline effect, sound, texture animation it won't work
