How does mod switcher work?

[King3x]

I have heard of the mod switcher and is it any good?

I have only been playing vanilla RTW before, but I am interested in starting to play mods.

IE, if I download darthmod, RTR, SPQR, and TE + mod switcher, could I play them all with all of them installed?

No for that all you would need to do is have multiple installs which you can learn how to do here.

For the mod switcher it justs switches the mod so you dont have to uninstall RTW but you still have to download the mod.

I don't quite understand. I know that I have to install each mod but can I play them, then use the mod switcher and play another one without too much hassle?

[AlbinoPickleX]

Yes, you can but I have never been able to get it to work.

><.

Is there any other way of "switching" without making like 4 different rome folders?

[murat can]

there was a program to switch mods.. i frogto the name.. search mod switcher in google or something

[King3x]

Yes, I know the link but would it work if I want to say have RTR platinum and TE.

How would it work?

Would it be like the thread that the reply gave me saying on switching the data folders?

hey, do like me! i have four mods installed on a single RTW folder!!
if you have BI, download and install (in the same order):
RTW vanilla, patch it up to 1.3, install BI, patch it up to 1.6, and install these mods (off course you can install others, but I like these four mods, so..)
-Troy Total War
-Chivalry Total War
-XGM
-Terrae Expugnadae (was that correct? :S)
all those four mods work fine for me, and i belive you can install NTW2, before installing TE..
don't ask me why, i just did..
and i got very happy when it worked
hope this helps!!

so I pretty much need to have like 3 copys of the game? . (2.83GB x 3 = nothx).

My space is limited so unless there are any space-worth mods, then I'll stick with vanilla. I have no real beef with it.

From what I've seen, RTR and TE sound nice.
