How to use mods?

[urmom]

I've downloaded a mod called LockNot (http://forum.kalypsomedia.com/showthread.php?tid=19516) which claims it'll allow the player to mess around with buildings in a few ways, such as being able to build modern time buildings at any time.

I've placed the mod into my 'Game' folder like instructed; however, it doesn't seem to do anything. Help?

It's a mod for the Tropico 4 expansion Modern Times. You need to have the expansion in order to make this mod work.

I do have Modern Times.

If you installed it correctly it should work. You may have to start a new game/mission for it to work however, and make sure that you press and hold the shift key before selecting the category that you want to use.

I've tried that. Tried starting a new mission both modern times and regular Tropico, challenges, sandbox. Nothing worked. I'm sure I've installed it correctly as well before anyone asks.

I would suggest that you create a new text file, paste in the code and then save the file with the required name but change the file type from text document to all files. That worked for me when I had issues using the population cap mod.

Actually, nevermind. The mod seems to be working now. Thanks for the help.
