This guide will show you how to play with mods and still have achievements enabled!

Works on Rome, BI and Alexander Versions: 2.0.3

Introduction

Hello! In this guide I will show you how to play Rome and its two dlcs with mods and achievements enabled!

NOTE: This will require basic knowledge of file editing and I am not responsible if you mess up your save! So BEFORE you do anything please either back up your save files or only use this on new playthroughs!

I also recommend that you use “Notepad++ – [notepad-plus-plus.org] ” as it will make it alot easier for you to troubleshoot any problems!

Lastly, I would recommend getting the plugin “Compare” for notepad++ as it will make things alot easier for you if you want to use multiple mods that edit the same file!

How to add a mod!

First you will need to head over to the Steam workshop and subscribe to a mod you want!

For this example I will be using my own mod:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2658639029 – [steamcommunity.com] 

After downloading the mod head over to your game folder!

To get to your game folder follow these steps!

­

Once that is done you want to grab the workshop item! Follow these steps!

­

So to explain and also help you understand what the numbers mean I will show you what they mean here!

First number! The first number is “885970” which is the app id that Steam uses to identify the game!

Second number/numbers! The folder I selected was called “2658639029” and the number represents the workshop item id!

TIP, If you want to find a specific mod, Head over to the workshop page and check the URL! At the end of the URL, it should say “/?id=” The number after that is the id!

If this you want to copy the contents of the data folder!

In my case it’s just a single file!

Now head back to the games folder! And follow the next step!

­

That’s all the hard parts done! Now you just need to setup the launch options! So go ahead and launch the game!

­

THAT’S ALL! Enjoy playing with mods and earning achievements! I will also link some resources in case you want to modify your game even more!

Merge two mods

This is a bit more advanced and alot more time consuming!

For this I would HIGHLY recommend the use of the plugin “Compare”!

How to install “Compare”

­

In this instance I will use

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2472659147 – [steamcommunity.com]

and

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2472972882 – [steamcommunity.com]

Like before you will need to download both mods and also locate both of their files!

Open both files in notepad++ and then follow what I do!
