I'm clearly a newbie here and trying to grasp how to work the game. The manual says that when activated the mod title will have a yellow box next to the title. I have the mods showing up, and when I hit activate, the computer takes me back to the main screen. When I go back into mods, it doesn't have a yellow box next to it.

Also, I am missing something, but how do you deactivate a mod?

You must click on the mod's name twice to make the yellow box appear. Then click 'Use Selected Mods', the 'check' box, and those mods that have a yellow box by them will be activated. Make sense?

Click mod name twice to remove yellow box...now they're deactivated, once 'check' is clicked.

I finally got the blood, musket sounds, and minimap mod to work (thanks mikesla for the winrar link). However I still can't get the terrain mod to work. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but when I download and then extract it with winrar, the file is just called "Base". It also does not show up in the mods section when in game anymore.

Now to check out some other good mods :)
