Cannot Get Mod to Load

from GalCiv3 Forums

As the title implies, I cannot get a simple mod to load. I think it is related to the file folder structure. As the ExampleMod readme suggests I have altered the TerranTechDefs.xml file in the game folder and put it here: ...\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\TestMod\Game. Mods are enabled in the game options menu. Is this not correct?

No, that's correct. What happens when you launch the game?

Try moving it to it's own, specially-named mod folder, i.e. my games\gal civ 3\mods\stumanfumod\game

My mod contains a modified version of the file which works, so it's not broken.

Did you enable mods?

How did you change the tech tree to check if it had loaded mods?

I am just messing around with this to see what I can do. Currently I was modifying the amount of research points it takes to complete certain techs. I took the modified file and (after making a backup of the original) put it in the core game directory - this works fine.
