Installing Civilization 6 mods
With Steam Workshop support, installing mods has become very easy: just subscribe to the mod on Steam. It will automatically download the mod, then you can enable or disable it from the ‘Additional Content’ menu.
Mods that are not on Steam Workshop can be installed by making a folder named ‘Mods’ in your game’s user directory: \Documents\My Games\Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
Now extract the downloaded mods to your new Mods folder using WinRaR or anyother similar software (create a sub-folder for each mod) and then enable them from the in-game ‘Additional Content’ menu. Some mods might require some extra steps, which will be told to you as needed.
If you need to make changes to Civilization 6’s files by yourself, then the easiest way is to make direct changes to the files in Civilization 6’s install directory (Do not forget to take a back up before doing anything). Firstly, you need to find Civ 6’s install folder. If you have no idea where it is, right-click on the game in your Steam library and select Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files. The default locations for installation is Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier’s Civilization 6. Find the file you want to mess with, save a copy, and go for it—and do not forget what you’ve changed.
List of Civilization 6 Mods in 2020
Environment Skin: Sid Meier’s Civilization V
One common criticism of Civ 6 is that it’s a bit too bright and cartoonish, as compared to the more realistic look of previous games in the series. Released by a Firaxis dev this mod, strikes a really nice balance between this Civ’s visual style and that of its immediate predecessor. The saturation has been turned down and almost every basic tile type and decal has been altered in some way. It adds new, more nature like models for ground clutter like trees. Pair this with something like the R.E.D. Modpack (above) to get rid of the Clash of Clans-looking armies and you’re in for a much more immersive, less board game-y feel.
R.E.D. Modpack
Gedemon brings us a Civ 6 version of one of our favorite Civ 5 mods. The R.E.D. Mod re-scales the units to make them a little more like miniatures, a little less cartoon giants like stomping over the hills. Check out the mod’s collection for versions that are compatible with all of Civ 6’s expansions.
Mappa Mundi
Gathering Storm added labels for major geographic features on the map, which was a really cool touch. If you have spent a lot of time playing , you’ve probably seen the same ones over and over. Mappa Mundi can basically eliminate that problem forever, adding over 15,000 new names of real world rivers, deserts, mountains, and more. It is seamlessly compatible many of the most popular mods that add new civilizations to the game, so your Taino or Icelandic empire can put their own linguistic stamp on the map.
Detailed Worlds
Graphics mods can make certain things look progressively sensible, yet on the off chance that you need the world format itself to feel somewhat less game-y, this is the mod for you. Notwithstanding adding progressively coastal detail to repeat each one of those little bays, straights, and fjords we hope to see on a globe, it likewise makes the position and size of deserts, rain-forests, and swamps considerably more consistent with life. What’s more, in case you’re about that Nile Valley life, it improves nourishment position along rivers going through desert tiles also. It carries seven different map scripts, including Continents, Pangea, and Islands.
Yet Not Another Map Pack
However there is another map pack from reputed modder and bundler Gedemon. YNAMP for Civilization 6 which incorporates Earth-formed maps with the right begin areas for each culture. In case you’re burnt out on playing a landlocked Norway, this is your opportunity to make a legitimate Viking empire. The pack additionally includes new, greater map sizes (one of which is so huge it may take five or so minutes to stack).
To Hell With The Devil: Religious units fight Rock Bands
Rock Bands, Civ 6’s new, late game “culture nukes,” would now be able to participate in theological battle with religious units. For the devout, you can send messengers to keep these since quite a while ago haired law breakers from adulterating the hearts and psyches of your kin. For the sacreligious, you can cast down the hypocritical pastors of the Demiurge and ensure all the world gets the chance to hear your delectable riffs and the great expression of our Lord, Satan. This mod is so much fun that I experience considerable difficulties playing late game Civ 6 without it.
Adjust starting units, techs, and more
While we were working with Civ 6 to try to play a game without ever founding a city. We found that all the player and AI starting conditions are stored in a file named Eras.xml. It is located in the Civ 6 install directory, under \Base\Assets\Gameplay\Data.
Using what’s there as an example, it’s not hard to copy and paste to add starting units, or limit the AI’s unit bonuses on harder difficulties. Do not forget backup Eras.xml before you start tinkering in case you want to revert to the defaults.
Catastrophic Disaster Intensity
The most noteworthy calamity force in vanilla Civ 6 is designated “Hyperreal.” If that is sufficiently not for you , this mod allows you wrench it up to essentially Just Plain Ridiculous. The depiction expresses that some sort of calamity will happen some place on the guide pretty much every turn, and the extreme renditions are made increasingly normal. There is never again any such thing as a torpid well of lava. What’s more, in the late game, the quantity of coastal lowland tiles that can flood from environmental change has been expanded from the vanilla 33% as far as possible up to 75%. The compelling force of nature is wanting you and this time she’s not going to get along.
Zee’s Fewer Trade Offers
The battle of revealing to Victoria you’re not keen on her abnormal exchange proposition is always real. This mod powers the AI to give it a rest every so often, regardless of whether it’s annoying you for your jewels or asking for their lives in a war. The AI cool down for exchange offers is expanded from 10 goes to 50, harmony offers in war from 3 goes to 10, and offers of companionship from 5 goes to 30. Possibly now you can at last appreciate some harmony and calm while you plot their definitive downfall.
Radial Measuring Tool
One of the most ineffectively explained mechanics in Civ 6 is the way that certain districts, as Industrial Zones, concede their advantages to all downtown areas inside six tiles. What makes it significantly all the more irritating is that there isn’t a simple method to make sense of which urban communities are close enough—you need to check out tiles independently while skipping your cursor along. In any event, there wasn’t a simple path as of recently. This mod includes an instrument that makes it simple to rapidly show the scope of these impacts so you never waste arrive on a repetitive locale again.
