    Thank you Captain Shack! I just finally got a halfway decent desktop computer, and have looked forward to playing Sins of a Solar Empire modded into STA3. It looks absolutely incredible!
    It's awesome that Sins is so moddable! In addition, I have been enjoying the Star Wars Mods too. Anyway, I just really wanted to know what version of Sins I needed to begin with before applying the mods. So, as you say, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, the latest release with all available patches, then apply the mod as downloaded from the modding site?Same with Star Wars mod I assume? Start with Rebellion?Thank you VERY much in advance for any help you might provide. I know it's been a pretty long time since you posted this and began giving advice regarding modding for STA3. Lastly, I'm a big fan Captain Shack! Keep up the great work, and keep posting videos my friend! Much obliged. :-D

When I downloaded it and uncompressed it the read me and the extra EnabledMods.txt wasn't there. I'm new to modi g so it might just be me but I was wondering if theirs an actual problem where those files didn't show up. And keep making videos!

    For those who are using the steam version of Sins of a Solar empire go to your C:// Drive than go to Program Files. Next Find a folder named "Steam". Once opened find a folder called Steamapps and open that than open common. Once in common open SOASE. Follow tutorial from here.

  • @DarkEmperorRay13
    @DarkEmperorRay13 8 лет назад

    Quick question, if you still read these comments that is, I play Sins of a Galactic Empire as well, and it requires the same txt document style copy and paste so that it can be found to play, " 3:46 "
    Will that make a conflict between the two mods and if so do I need to constantly open up my mods folders and always copy and paste for each time I want to play one or the other, not the same one over and over again?
