To play an NQ Mod game again just drag it back in easy peasy. When you are done playing with the mod move the 'MPMODSPACK' folder to the desktop to Civ normally. See also the Modding tutorials section on the forums.Īlso note that the XML and Lua sections each contain specific tutorials, articles and extensive documentation. To make it easier to install/uninstall put a shortcut on your desktop to Civ 5's DLC folder. You may also need additional softwares to extract and read the textures, test and debug your mod, etc. You should have installed the SDK of course, but it is also strongly recommended that you get a tool to search in all civ5 files at once, to compensate for the lack of documentation. Forgetting to import files into the VFS is the common source of problems for beginners. I subscribed but the download does not start (bis). I insist: be patient or you will break things again. Start civ5, go to the mods page, be patient and wait for all mods to be downloaded. The main change since Kael wrote his guide is about the VFS (Virtual File System). Close civ5 and delete the cache folder in Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization V. However it was written a long time ago and some information is obsolete or missing.

The best introduction to civ5 modding is still the Kael's Guide.

If you have no idea about modding and what are Lua and Xml, you should give a look at Civ5 Modding Explained.
