You can also take S and Z out of the column order, since this is noscore.
And AHF since there are no AI civs, so you don't care if the AI would be angry with you.

Hey guys, maybe you can help me with my problem. 
I downloaded the wrapper and the .exe and added to the install dir. I have the latest version of CtH mod in my mod folder. Then i open civ4, connect to the IP address, choose civ and password, but then it says the files dont match the hosts files, it asks me if i want to load CtH 2.0 mod (even though its already loaded the mod) i say yes, it closes, a new instance of CIV4 opens and its just the background with nothing else on the screen. So i force close, try again. I delete all the files in the CtH mod, redownload direcrly from psby and add the files in the mod folder, same thing happens. I restart my computer and try again.
Now i cant even log in as Asoka, it crashes as soon as i connect to the IP, with this error message, since i dont know how to add images yet i will write out the error)

In the background it sas my version of the game files dont match the hosts.
And the error table is Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Programme:..eyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. 
Please contact the applications support team for more information.


I dont know what mistakes im making. I play civ4 through steam if that changes anything, so im sure all my files are up to date.

Mh, in what language do you normally play Civ 4?

[Old Harry]

Is your mod in

something\My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS\
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\Beyond the Sword\Mods\

or somewhere else?

I think there was something about the Steam version. Not that I remember the specifics.

Hi Joshy,

to restrict the sources for errors please try it out without the wrapper.
Create an shortcut to Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe and
add the mod in the properties of the shortcut

"[…]\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe" mod="CloseToHome_2.0"
Example image to clarify what I mean with 'property window' for an other program/mod.

Do not start the program over steam, but use the new shortcut.
After Civ4's startup you should see the mod name in the right top corner.

If it still crashs on login take a look into the folder structure of the unzipped mod:
Is it [Installation directory]\Beyond the Sword\Mods\CloseToHome_2.0\Assets  ?

Wrong would be
[Installation directory]\Beyond the Sword\Mods\CloseToHome_2.0\CloseToHome_2.0\Assets
[My Documents folder]\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Mods\CloseToHome_2.0\Assets

The language is english,
and since its through steam , steam automatically installs the file here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword

Is your mod in

something\My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS\
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\Beyond the Sword\Mods\

or somewhere else?

to expand on this, it should NOT be the something\My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS\ folder, but the second one (the folder where civ is installed, probably the path is a bit different for the steam version).

Also make sure you downloaded the version of the mod that is linked in the first post here (Ramkhamhaeng's comment), and that the folder is named CloseToHome_2.0 and nothing else (NOT 2.0.2 for example)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword

good, then the mod files should be unpacked into a folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods\CloseToHome_2.0\

[Amicalola]

Any chance your shortcut is still directing to 2.0.2, now that you've downloaded the mod 2.0?

Edit: Also, I wrote this in 56 but I will be around to play my turn sometime in the next 6-12 hours thanks to a broken mouse.
