How to install Mods?

Post by Naxell440 »

Hello all

I don't get it how to install mods in X4. I have looked in my Steam common folder in X4 and there don't seem to be at mods/extensions folder. I have also looked in Documents\Egosoft\X4 and there is a folder with a lot of numbers, but in that folder there is no mods/extensions folder only saves folder.

If the folder doesn't exist, then you need to create it. Similar to the Logo's folder

For example:
C:\Users\{UserName}\Documents\Egosoft\X4\{Buncha Numbers}\extensions
C:\Users\{UserName}\Documents\Egosoft\X4\{Buncha Numbers}\logos

Thnaks alot KSPN

I have created the extensions folder a you said and placed a mod in the folder. The file is a Zip folder, but the game is still saying "No Extensions Installed". I have extracted the zip file, but with the same result.

Hmm, I put the extracted files in that folder, each mod in a seperate subfolder of extentsions and had no problems.

The folder levelling needs to be such that you get this.
extensions\{modName}\content.xml

Then restart X4.

This is not working for me. Tried both the main and the documents folder. Has anything changed since December?

Here is a picture of the folders

Don't use the documents folder!

Go to your steam folder: /egosoft/x4/extension

wow that is so weird. it fixed itself after posting the above :evil: :evil:
so i guess it takes a bunch of restarts or some random "steam time".

and the mods seem to have been installed twice which makes sense due to both folders being used
