This one’s easy. In the next screen, select “Browse Mods” to review the Civilization V mods you’ve already installed, or look around for new goodies to play. Now you’ll be taken to the Civilization V Mods manager. From the Menu along the top, select “online” to review a giant list of mods. Re: How to install a mod for Civ 5 In step 13 the 'set up game' has disapeared after downloading a LOTR mod. Only options are 'load game' and 'custom game' no mods appear in playable list and the map is not in my map list. I run Civ5 from my SSD boot drive. The 'My Games' folder (including the Mods folder) are located on my slower (mechanical) HDD. How can I move only the My Games to the SSD and 'tell' Civ5 (via steam) know to look there? I'd like to keep the rest of my 'My Documents' on the HDD.

Get the right tools for the job.
- See Civ5 Useful Programs. You should have installed the SDK of course, but it is also strongly recommended that you get a tool to search in all civ5 files at once, to compensate for the lack of documentation. You may also need additional softwares to extract and read the textures, test and debug your mod, etc.
Modify your ini files.
