Which Star Wars mod is best to use for SoaSE?

[8-The-General-8]

I really appreciate the work of modders, however, I wish they could make a link to the current version of their best working mod a lot clearer...

How to get the latest SW mod and how to install it?

Thanks for any help!\

Star Wars Interregnum: http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-interregnum

A good mod thats relatively complete. It combines the base game and the Star Wars Universe (Imperials and Rebel Alliance) to make a very nice cross-over.

Sins of a Galactic Empire: http://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-a-galactic-empire

My least favourite to play alone, but still a very good mod in its own right. Combines the Clone Wars, Imperial Civil War, and the Yuzhaan Vong Wars and there is an optional addon for the Old Republic.

Star Wars Ascendency: http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-ascendancy

My current favourite, combines the Imperial Remnant, New Republic, Empire of the Hand, and the Pentastar Alignment. A great mod and I am looking forward to its progress.

As the above post shows...just follow their Moddb pages. Which are up to Daten as they tend to be the mod makers primary pages.

Most Sins mods are on Moddb, so that's a good site to get the latest versions now. Usually the most recent version is linked ont he profile page or it will simply be the first download on the downloads tab.

Each mod will have their own instructions you should read for installing, but usually it goes download the mod, extract it to your mod folder, for total conversions apply an included patch called Large Address Aware and enable the mod. You should read the mod's download page and readme files to see if there is anything else you should do during installation.

Great! Thanks very much.

With the Large Address file, do I have to do anything to revert back to the original game?

I was looking for a good Star Wars mod today as well. Convenient.

Regarding LAA, you don't need to revert back. As I understand it, Sins runs on a 32-bit engine, which limits the amount of ram the game can use. LAA just increases that amount. It just makes big mods more stable.

Hope I helped.

oh good, thanks.

Just wondering about xwing fighters... when I launch them I don't see them, but I see the Awings.

I've noticed there are a mass of patches at the above site.

Thanks again

Actually, I have installed ascendancy first and the two others at above links and modified the enabledmodstxt to:

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 3
enabledModName "Ascendancy-V1"
enabledModName "Star Wars Interregnum Alpha 3.1"
enabledModName "Enhanced 4X Mod 1.8"

And now game won't load. I think it's the text file or I am missing a patch,

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am sure others wwho are buying this game on sale right now would be having similar problems if they are trying to use these mods.

Thanks!

All three of the links above are totally different Star Wars mods. They cannot be run with each other. Research what the three do and pick one, or better yet try them all out and see which you like the most. Or tell us what you're looking for to get some suggestions.

So to run Interregnum your mod order should be like this for example.

Large Address Aware doesn't actually change the game, just allows it to use more memory, which most large mods need. Any time the game is updated or reinstalled though you have to apply it again.

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 2
enabledModName "Star Wars Interregnum Alpha 3.1"
enabledModName "Enhanced 4X Mod 1.8"
