All types of mods and content can be downloaded from the Civilization IV File Database , which organizes files by type scenario, map, mod, etc. Almost all of the files there are ZIPs, a file type that can be opened using a program like 7-Zip , which is free.
Note that mods for Civ4 without expansions are not compatible with Warlords the first expansion or Beyond the Sword the second expansion. In fact, mods are not backwards- or forwards-compatible, though they can be converted from one game to another with some work. Also, when downloading mods, be sure that, in addition to the right game, they were created for the right patch level you can find yours out in-game by selecting Advanced and then About This Build.
Nearly all mods can be installed relatively easily, without any technical work. In all three cases, open the MODS subfolder. Choose the mod from the list of mods available, and just wait for the game to restart, as it needs to load the changed game files. If you encounter problems, read this thread to double-check your procedure.
In some cases, mods will require a non-standard installation. There are various ways of modding Civ4, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Below there are general descriptions of the four major ways to edit and customize Civilization 4, ordered approximately in order of increasing complexity and learning curve. The WorldBuilder is fairly intuitive and the interface remains essentially the same as in Civ4, allowing for individuals to make quick changes or more complex scenarios.
You can read more about the WorldBuilder and download a manual in this thread. Simple changes, like giving a unit more movement points or making terrain have a different food yield, can be accomplished with XML, as can more difficult things like creating new civilizations.
For more about XML and modding in general, consult this guide to Civ4. Python refers to the more powerful language that is used by the game to control many things, including the interface, advisor screens, and map generation.
Python can be used to create totally new features that are not in the default game. Naturally, this is the most challenging form of modding, as it requires a more complex understanding of programming, but you can read an overview and instructions regarding the SDK on the forums.
CivFanatics maintains a very vibrant modding community that has even attracted the attention of Firaxis, with some modders having their creations released on expansion packs.
Also, keep an eye out on the homepage here at CivFanatics for updates regarding recent creations! That forum serves as a great reference and contains discussion on a much deeper level. I can hear the "click" though. I tried all these mods alone, to make sure there were no interference.

Mods do not work existing save file. There is a mod section when you click on a save, it should tell you which mods are activated. Olleus , Nov 28, Yes, I started a new game.

I know it's been about 3 months but I'm having some trouble installing mods. I have them in the mod folder but when I launch the game and go to additional content, they don't show up. It should be important to note that I'm using a Mac. LegoWizard , Jan 22, Joined: Aug 12, Messages: 1. Hello, I have the same problem as LegoWizard but I am on pc. Any mod that I unzip in mods folder will not show up in additional content.
I have no clue what to do. TasmaniaKrama , Aug 12, When I opened it I saw what I think is a way to import a mod into that app and be able to work on it. I was wondering if you may know how to do so? This is my first stop after struggling with steam and the broken links that they post.
So I would appreciate any guidance in the right direction. Plus there's the art tools. Which I need to learn about. Harold Clapsaddle , Aug 15, Might want to add this in for Mac users My Mods are located at: And that "Library" is a hidden folder, so you have to have your hidden folders visible.

I do not understand with the translator he puts weird words. EnperorZ , Apr 6, Now the I have no idea what the relationship is between the number of the mod and the ID of the mod is or even if there is any relationship at all. All of the directions for installing a mod above still workes for CIV 5 as far as I know. I wonder if this is steam's way of stopping the publishing of mods anywhere other than on steam? This may also explain why people who install modes from here following the instructions are having so many problems?
Steam installs everything into its directories using numbers for Apps and Mods. Infixo , Apr 6, I like to download them from steam, then after I verify they work with my other mods, I move them to where we put our own mods then unsubscribe on steam.
Then I don't have to worry about them changing. As a Mac user, I have to be careful with the most of the times the PC and Mac versions are out of sync. New patch comes out DanaLea , Apr 7, Se mod etant Larger Map size!
