Installing mods

[bwvenables]

I purchased X4 through Steam. Would some one please give me the proper path for extracting the mod files (folders). An example of how to do it would be much appreciated.

If you dont have an extensions folder you can just create on.

I think it depends on the mod for right now.

I downloaded a mod that increases how your active NPC crew gets XP. All I had to do was download the file and drop it into a folder.

There was another mod I read and considered that required you to make quite a few file changes ...

Not sure there is a “one size” mod option for right now.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.

Ive seen posts on the X4 site that you should be making the extensions file inside the mydoc's game folder. check the stickied posts in the modding/scripting section eg. https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=403363

This is what it looks on my machine. Created extensions folder and copied the mods into there. You can then turn them on and off on the main menu.

Just download any mod, open the readme.txt in the archive and follow the installation instructions.....

Just posting to make sure this thread is easy to find. Every time i come back to the game after months away I forget where mods are stored. If you don't need the info then please ignore this Necromancing post. ;)
