I just got an idea: since many people want to make sure if they managed to install a new version of the mod successfully, the version number should be embedded in the game. I think that appending it to the end of the faction leader trait would be optimal, since one avatar always has it and it is easy to find. Another option that wouldn't be too obvious could be the description of a certain building.

That's a good idea of the changes are more vague. For the current version, the change is easy to notice. If your wages are in the 10000+ range, it's installed properly. If they're in the 7000+ range, it's not.

I have copied a few times but I am missing something.

I am not the end turn guy but I want to get it right. Will make another attempt. The wages are a easier indicator but I think the leader or building being ID would be a good marker if there are any future add ons that are more subtle.

Try using the executable that Rowan made. I have a feeling you are probably extracting the files to the wrong location, and the .exe version should avoid that mistake.

Problem solved it was a combination of Rowan's file; very slick program and overwriting manually the file. I have the game broken into mods by med manager so I think Rowan's file covered the root file and I manually did the mod. I got increased wages to confirm so its been fixed.
