The mods works well for the two first ages, but still crashes in the modern age. I was using Charlemagne and Great Britain, and then also tried with the U.S. Both get the validation error and crash to main menu.
Hello First thanks for this mod. Worked fine until today but now i can't create new game, could you update please.
Thank you

I couldn’t use this mode because of the same issue. But now, I’ve fixed it. This can be easily solved. However, I’m not sure exactly how this fix affects the game. You might not be able to use this mode fully. Nevertheless, if you still want to use this mode, try modifying it as follows.
Try deleting the following lines in the mementos.xml file
Heya! 1st wanted to say thank you for making a mod for Civ7. I tried installing in the Mods folder but when I enable it in the main menu of the game, it causing the game to crash. I have just the base game and I was using the "Base Game" file. Am I missing something and did I do something wrong? Any other players got this to work for just the base game?
Great mod ty, just one question, if I modify any bonuses from the files (mementos and traditions) will I be the only one who will benefit from it or will it also apply to the leader who ownes the bonus? For example Napoleon has a bonus who add +1 movement to some units and if I change this to +10 does Napoleon also get +10?
This mod only changes the ea-nasir memento to give the bonuses to the player so only the player gets the effect, any changes to the bonuses themselves would apply that change wherever they appear. To get a change like you describe to apply only to the player you would have to copy and rename the modifier and then add the new modifier id to the list of bonuses granted
Hi. Mod is great. I tried to only use the mementos by deleting the other files in the data folder. But the mod wont work without them. Any advice? can you make individual mods for each? Thanks.
It should work by just deleting the data files you don't want. I am planning to make a more modular version but I'm still working my way through FFVII hard modes right now
Any chance you can advise me on how to do a watered down version of this? I only want the mementos. The leader bonuses AND the civ bonuses is just straight over the top and I am just kinda wanting a diet cheat not a giga cheat.
I'm having trouble installing the mod. my directory is as follows. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VII\DLC followed the directions. Installed all the dlc. Do i half to log into cilvi? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
go to view then use mouse to hover over show then press show hidden files if your looking for the firaxis games folder to get to the civ 7 folder and or civ 6 folder if you have that aswell. (OS(C:)>Users>UserProfile>AppData>Local>Firaxis Games>Sid Meier's Civilization VII) drive letter and name might be different depending on where you install civ7 and what you named your drive, user profile is your profile. If it is not showing up after extracting and replacing using the file extractor of your choice you need to open the extracted folder and drag and drop the first folder you see(should be the only one as it contains the mod files) and drag it into your civ 7 mod folder. these are from my comments below this should solve your issues make sure you check you installed the right version. Might not be the dev of the mod but i had trouble aswell getting it to work just follow steps and should work. If there's no mod folder you will have to make one but there should be one if you have the founders or deluxe edition. make sure you remove mod files from you originally put them as it could cause your game to crash.

Edit. Fixed and working for me at least
TRAIT_MOD_ITSAPHARAHAB
toTRAIT_MOD_ITSARAPHAB
change that on the last line of civilizations-modern.xml and it'll work for modern ages again
- Never mind, it does with the patch

I'm just planning to use it this way until the mod creator uploads a fully intact file.
I am planning to make a more modular version but I'm still working my way through FFVII hard modes right now
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VII\DLC
followed the directions. Installed all the dlc. Do i half to log into cilvi?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
