Default Stacking Mods

Is it possible to stack mods using the mod-running program that comes on the SE4 disk.

i.e. I want to load multiple races so that in a huge galaxy, there's a lot of different ones as opposed to neutrals with the same pics.

There doesn't seem to be a way to CTRL or ALT click several mods.

Default Re: Stacking Mods

Aside from graphics mods like FQM and the Image Mod, most mods are not "stackable". Often times, two mods will alter the same data files (and sometimes the same items within those files), so simply combining them would yield a buggy unrunnable mess.

Now if you want to add races to your game, all you have to do is add their folders to the "race" folder. As long as the data files are compatible with the current Version/mod you're running, you're all set.

No you cannot.

You have to physically combine them then run them as a new mod.

I guess I will finish the game I've started then start dinking around with it all.

I know this article was written awhile back - but it really does serve as a beginner's guide to which files are moddable, what they do and discusses mod stacking or "compatibility."

You can also check out this web page which provides an updated modding guide.

Hope this helps
