Problem with mods

Post by Yankee104 »

Ive downloaded several mods including the bugle flag 8 mod and all the different scenerios. Everytime I try to use the mods in sandbox mode or play any of the mod scenerios its shuts down the game. And in the actual compaign mode I've noticed some of the mods arent showing up, ie the blood splatter mod, blood mod, different musket sounds. Please help me figure this out. My game is up to date with the 1.3 patch.

Y,

Mods are not designed to always be compatible with other mods. I suggest you turn them all off and start enabling them one by one until you find the culprit.

If you play any of the Stock scenarios, the mods will not work. This is because if you achieve a Major Victory on Normal difficulty or harder in all of the first 20 scenarios, you are awarded your General's Stars. It keeps the playing field level

Also Yankee104,

You can also look in the SOWGB.log file that is in your "\Scourge of War - Gettysburg\Work" Folder as it shows what Mods were loaded at when you load a scenario.

Do as born2see mentioned about loading them 1 at a time to see which one has the error....
