    Default Looking for a mod to bring the game back to vanilla

    So I installed RTR a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, but now I wish to get rid of it and install Rise of Persia. Regrettably though, i did not back up my files before that, and so have no real way of getting rid of RTR. This brings me to my question: does anyone know of a mod/patch sort of thing I can run to bring all of the games original files back, completely getting rid of the mod? If anyone knows of a such thing, I would greatly appreciate you telling me. If not.... I guess i'm ****ed Thanks in advance

    two steps...

    1. uninstall
    2. reinstall

    Don't forget to choose ''yes'' when it askes for deleting your saved files.
    That will destroy the RTW map, and with it the mod currently installed.
    (with ''no'' it won't destroy the RTW map, leaving some mod-stuff behind, which lets the game crash when reinstalled.)

    Till next time you should copy the RTW (clean) folder (if you have space for it) and use it as a backup. Next time you want to install a new mod, copy the backup folder and install the mod in the new fresh folder.
    That is how I do it. I have a 1.5 and 1.6 BI folder, and in old time I had a 1.2 patch as well.

    And just as a note, uploading vanilla files is against the rules here, so your request wouldn't be allowed.

    A reinstall is faster, easier, and safer though anyways.

    If you have the room on HD make extra copies. I started a default install of Rome/Gold and patched to RTW 1.5 and BI 1.6. Copied this to a new folder C:/... Rome_clean. Made seperate folders for the less mod-switch friendly mods C:/...Rome_EB and C:/ Rome_SPQR. All my mod switch friendly mods go to the default installation and Nothing is ever added to the Rome_clean, it is there only for copying FROM.

    Mod switching is your friend.
