How do i get mods to work in latest update of ANNO 1800. Had them working fine before last update. I have been using the "SPICE IT UP" mods but is there a better way of modding ?

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I did that yesterday. But still not working !

Have already done that. At the point of re-installing the game for the third time.

Thank you derfinn01. Will have a try tomorrow as I had a bad aspiration last night and just want to sleep. Will let you know.

Many thanks for your help and advice. Reinstalled it for the fourth time after clearing everything to do with the game. (Excepy my saves) !!! It now works perfectly. (If you ignore the white flaky stuff that they put in for Christmas !
Have a Good New Year !
