How do you make the mod installer work for this game?

Jwf497 is correct. Take the file that you downloaded and move it into the mod folder within the game files. I only play the LA mod so I can't help on issues with other mods. Take note, when you activate the LA mod from in game, it may appear that your game has frozen. It has not! Give it a few minutes, and you will be brought back to the main menu with that mod loaded and ready to go.

when you down load the mod if its a rar file or a zip file you must extract it then go into the properties of the game click and drag it into the mod folder for 911 first responder! You must restart the computer after it has been done! if you need more help I an help you!

It does, read the manual it comes with on installing the mod. They have a PDF on how to

Simply download it from Amazon, double click the executable and when prompted enter the key code provided. It does not do a full install process it just extracts some files and updates others. It doesn't look like and install from the base game.

Jacqueline, Search SDCopy. It is a free piece of software that will convert the .MOD files to mpg, and also set the flag for 16:9 aspect ratio which is widescreen, then it will play correctly. Mark

When u buy the download, you have to replace the .exe with a non steam version. A quick Google search and you should find a forum or something that should point you in the right direction

I can try to help. Do you already have the base game installed? You need the base game in order to use this expansion. If you're running the game through Origin right click the game and click "game repair" that should solve any buggy issues you have. I hope this helps you in some way. If not feel free to elaborate on your question or it always helps to contact the customer support for EA games they try to be as helpful as possible because you are their customer and its in their best interest to help you if they expect your business in the future. Best of luck!

If you do a clean install you shouldn't have a problem. Sounds like your sims game is failing. Possibly you installed 64 bit and originally had 32bit?. That might be the problem with your game.

Pretty sure they offer ng configuations or mod kits. Coguration above is for l.p.. May want to contact Mfr for definitive answer.

The compatibility is terrible and I couldn't get the main game or the expansion to work for a while. The problem is mainly activating the game itself (as there is a mod somewhere in the web that allows you start without GFWL and save games but has no MP). I found so many workarounds around the web and spent hours trying them all without being able to start the game. I gave up. and after a while I randomly selected the main game to launch and it surprisingly ran just fine. The expansion was more stubborn. It took a couple of months before it ran just fine on its own just like its big sister.If you're looking for minimal frustration with getting this game to work on Win8.1, RUN!

I also love Civ IV. You have to go into the files and download it to your desktop. I believe you want the run ex file. That should do the trick, if not just email me and I will help you after work. topgram11@gmail.com

Well, from what I know with little experience is that sometimes you can get a program to work by right clicking the game icon and selecting properties. Then go to compatibility at the top right and then select the box at the bottom of that screen that says "Privilege Level" for "Run as administrator. Otherwise I'd contact a tech with the game perhaps. Good Luck!

http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/ I wrote a quick patch for it that improves stiletto support. Let me know if you need it if you can't seem to get it to work with its original code. You can also run the windows software under wine; you just need to change a few things in order to do so. Email me if you need help :)

Hmmm. Mac OS....I must have missed that. I don't have much experience with Macs but there is bound to be something that will work for you. The important thing to remember is that the .MOD file is just a container for a .mpeg file. If you do find a Mac based editing program try changing the extension from .MOD to .mpeg as I mentioned before. The important thing is to avoid recoding the original file in order to maintain quality. Let us know how it goes.

Yes & No - Yes if you are playing it WITH the 1.7version patch you get from Bethesda's website. This is to make it compatible with 4 core an more CPU/processors (game was built when 2 core's were common) an other things. Now for modding which I have done, I have no issues with Windows 7 nor should you with Windows 8 (I am aware of it's problems, why I stayed at W7 Pro). because there are mods & fixes for everything at NexusMods. Please remember to install game in folder other than Program Files because Windows UAC feature causes problems. For example C:Games/Fallout3. Also note that Windows Live no longer exists so you can not validate it nor do you have to. You essentially are buying this so not to get malware or viruses from pirated copies or you just do not want to wait forever to download it off steam. Took me 5 days to get it running good with over 50GB worth of mods. Great learning experience, awesome game, 10000X better than when I first played it.

Yes for sure because I'm using playing on this mod all the time. I have not player here with me to explain exactly how to find but is very easy.

I'm not sure. One way is to enter your Steam account and see if it is available for purchase. If it's available, then you should be able to install. You might, as well, contact Steam and ask them.
