Username should be the name of your account that you log onto Windows with. You should not have to create a new folder for it, if you navigate from My Computer -> C:/ (or whatever drive you installed Windows on) -> Documents and setting -> Then double click the folder with your username.


As for the Options bit, when you have Sins up and running, on the main menu, click on "Options"; along the left side you will see a series of tabs/buttons (User Interface, Video, etc.), the very bottom button will be "Mods". Click on that.

If you have installed the mod correctly (in my mod's case, the folder labeled "The Mars Effect" should be inside the "Mods" folder under your Sin's Documents and Settings directory), the mod should be listed as an option to enable.

If nothing is listed, click the button that says "Show Directory", and it will show you the full path to the Sins mod folder on your particular computer.

So from the main menu -> Options, there isn't a tab titled "Mods" along the far left side of your screen?

Have you patched to the latest version?

The Mods button isn't in the Options menu for vanilla v1.0. They fixed that with the patch.

The "username" directory is the username you're logged in with (so, C:\Documents and settings\OzWolf011\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad
Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods)

Allrighty, thanks for the help.

Looks like I get to patch up to 1.2.

Thanks again.
