Sins of Prophet Mod wont activate

[Inspector]

I start up sins of a solar empire rebellion then it shows me the usual starting screen and none of the factions are Halo factions and I even go to enable mod when I go to the mods options, but it still does not activate the mod. Is there a step i did wrong?

For Rebellion

First, verify that you have Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and it's updated to the latest version (1.82 as of this writing)

After verifying you having the right version of the game, go to Options, then Mods, then click "Show Mod Path". You'll be shown the folder where mods go. Close the game.

Navigate to that folder, like you would any other folder you're trying to get to in your computer. If you don't see the AppData folder you'll need to enable seeing hidden folders and files, you can google that part for yourself.

Download the mod if you haven't already: http://www.moddb.com...alpha-v05641800



Extract/Unzip the file into the Rebellion 1.82 mod folder (C:\Users\**YOURUSERNAME**\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.82)

Reopen the game, go to Options, then Mods, then click the mod in the left box, click enable, click apply. Sling tungsten rounds at a fraction of the speed of light.

Redownload the mod if you follow these instructions and nothing works, or the mod seems to install fine but doesn't change anything. Downloads can become corrupt if your internet connection is subpar.

I did all those options and nothing worked I even used that one video for star trek armada 3 and that mod work but Im not sure why this mod wont work. Any other ideas?

okk just go to the mod folder open the TXT file for the mods put this

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 1
enabledModName "SotP Alpha v_0_56_1"

[Inspector]

I did that to the TXT file but it still went to vanilla sins of solar empire

[facciola007]

Did you redownload the mod, he says if nothing happens you might have got a corrupt file.

[Inspector]

I did that numerous times yet the game will still show up as vanilla. Do I have to use a different mirror to download correctly?

[Inspector]

Nvm I tried a different mirror download and it worked correctly! Thx for helping though.

[facciola007]

Awesome, sounds like you had a corrupt file. Enjoy.

Nah, what OP did is put the folder HOLDING the mod folder into the directory. This is a super common issue and I have no idea how folks don't look around in the folder trees to see if there is an issue there.

For me the mod works, unless you try to start a new game. It always crashes when loading a new game. I tried to use differant mirror downloads but the problem stays the same.
