    Epistolary Richard,

    Thanks for the info, and the prompt response.

    So, based on what you have advised, I guess that the problem is of my own making. Maybe, if I start again, and do a vanilla RTW + 1.2 patch install, then using the Mod Switcher, create a mod for RTR and a mod for Chivilary, I may have what I want. Is this what you would advise?

    I am simply trying to get away from having two installs of RTW.

    regards

    Yes, that's what I'd go for. I've certainly used the Mod Switcher with Chiv with no trouble. Never tried it with RTR, but so long as you auto-install to an empty folder that should give you the Data folder you need to make the RMOD. Let me download it and have a look.

    Oh, but just to be sure, make a copy of your Data file once you've installed the 1.2 patch. Just as a backup in case something goes wrong.

    Right, well, I've downloaded RTR6 and I don't see anything that would stop it working as an RMOD. I can't test it unfortunately, so I can't say for sure, but it only has two files outside the data folder. One's a bat, that looks like it makes some back ups and the other is a suggested preference file. Obviously you can use whatever preference file you like.

    Epistolary Richard,

    Thanks for the time and effort that you have devoted to my problem. I believe you have shown me the way ahead, that will allow me to have both of these mods available within the Mod Switcher framework.

    I now believe I have a good chance of success, and I will give the suggested process a try.

    Thanks again for your time and consideration.

    regards

    Is it just me, or can't you download the mod switcher? The link doesn';t led me to a download screen, only giving me warnings on the webpage it takes me to.

    Thank you

    Depends what it is - mostly you can copy the file over into your modfolder and edit (e.g. descr_mounts.txt for example).
