Trying desperately to get COW Beginning of End to work for my son!

[Nealla30]

My 10 year old son has Steam and has a bunch of Medieval II TW mods all purchased through Steam. He also - for some reason, can't remember when/why I did this, has a Medieval II TW folder (with a bunch of Mods) under the SEGA folder on C. All work fine as well. (outside of Steam obviously!)

He asked me to get this COW Beginning/End Mod. I downloaded it and unzipped it fine but for the life of me can't figure out where to put it to make it work now. I have tried putting the folder under the steamapps/common... etc folder and also in the Sega folder.

I am sure the issue is the original COW mod.
The only location I have the COW Mod is in the Sega folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Call_of_Warhammer.
(NOT anywhere in the Steam folders. He can not play COW via Steam)


I assume the Beginning/End Mod has to go in there somewhere? I have modified CFG files as well as the BAT files to try to get it to work but can't.
All other mods still work fine but when I try to run the Beginning/End mod (either with the warhammer.bat or the COW.bat) it just gives the main Splash Screen showing the start of the game but then just closes out.

Anyone have any suggestions? I attached a screen shot of where the folder is now.

Here's the install instructions, which you should follow: http://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-wa...l-instructions

Don't do anything with Call_of_Warhammer, they run independently and don't interact.

Purchasing mods from steam? You don't "purchase" mods, they're user made content and are free by design. The only additional content available for purchase on a game are officially released DLC's. Many steam games have something called a "workshop" where players can upload and share user created content such as mods. If you had to pay money for a MOD then I'd hate to break it to you, you've been scammed.

Also you know, I hate to be a spoilbody, but this isn't exactly a mod for children. Have you actually even checked what the Warhammer lore contains? Fantasy Russians who don't celebrate Christmas (or its in-universe equivalent), French people wearing dresses and prancing atop fancy pink unicorns, and not to mention awful, awful, awful short people with unshaved beards just like those foreigners from the Middle East. And believe me, that's not even the worst among the offensive things found in this mod. One faction even contains pointy eared tree loving hippies who might infuse your child with dangerous communist ideas. I'd wait for the child to reach 16 before allowing him to play such a mod, lest its corrupting influences slowly and irrevocably twist his delicate form into a nihilistic, paranoid husk of a human being who keeps shouting WAAAAGH at everything that moves.

But for real, there's definitely a lot of violence, some mild nudity, adult themes, and other more R-rated factors in the game, but we try not to go too far into what Slaaneshi, Dark Elf, or Beastman armies might do in their spare time. It's not a kids game, but not too overboard into adult territory that no kid should ever be exposed to it. At least IMO. Parents should definitely be aware of what their kids are playing, though.
