somehow it doesnt downloading the mod after subscribing and opening the game

I recommend opening the game (after having cleared the cache and Steam download cache) without having any Mods subscribed (not even this one). Then you you go to Mods selection (it should be empty). At the same time you can open the MODS folder in Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\ ... it should also be completely empty. THEN you subscribe to this mod and you will be able to see how it is downloading and whether there are issues unpacking. Worst case you can unpack it manually but that shouldn't be necessary.

I admit it's a bit cumbersome, but this is a colossal mod, and Steam downloader is not always the best and glitches out sometimes.

Does this require Windows 11 or will it work on 10?

Works on Windows 10. And should you upgrade to Windows 11 make sure you run a file integrity check on Civ5 afterwards. I had problems launching Civ after the upgrade.

♥♥♥♥ had I known updating Gia would crash my game I woudn't have done it!

Is it possible to use EUI together with this mod? If so, how to install it?

@miguel loco: yes, but you need a very specific version of EUI (1.28g) which you can find here: Civfanatics EUI download[forums.civfanatics.com].
Next, you will also need the EUI Compatibility Patch. Just make sure you subscribe to this mod last after all the other mod. And when you update mods unsubscribe and resubscribe this mod.

It does not work, after you start the game and start a match, when closing and returning to the game the civilization no longer opens.
When I delete the files from the "Sid Meier's Civilization 5" folder, the game opens again, but when I try to carry the game the save is corrupted and does not open

Since last update with EUI i'm getting this error about tooltip on buildings queue: C:\Users\xx\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\__Gaia's Core Mod__(v 537)\UI\In Game\PATCHES\Compatibility\EUI_tooltip_library.lua:695: attempt to call method 'GetEventBuildingClassYield' (a nil value)

Everything else is fine. Not unplayable just annoying using Civilopedia all the time. Win 10.

Thank you for the great Mod !

On Windows 11, did all the steps, can't open the tech tree at all :C

On Win11, I tried doing all the steps mentioned above and my UI is still buggy. Everytime I hover my mouse above any unit or city, it shows some sort of UI panel with white and red checkers, no info. Also every action button in the bottom left corner says "no information". Can't even open tech tree. What do I do?

Everytime that i got an update for the mod my save becomes corrupt. Everytime that i load back the game it get CTD. I tried to do again the operation for a clean installation, but still my saves don't work. What can i do to have a stable game, considering that you update the game at least once a week?

@manual: do not update whilst you still have a game in progress. Your old saves won't work after the update. When updating you need to clear cache and start a fresh game.

Hi, I wanted to ask a question, I enjoyed your mods so much, have you ever tried to work out how to play it in multiplayer ?
I shared my enjoyment of your mods with my friend and wanted to play it with him.

I am trying to find how to do it, so I just decided to try and ask if maybe you are someone already did try to make it work.

After the last update, my game because unplayable after 2 to 15 turns. Something to do with your mod, (which I have installed and reinstalled repeatedly over the updates so I know what I'm doing, so faulty install was not the source) caused the files related to the UI to keep deleting, making it impossible to progress to the next turn. I had to verify the game files before I started the game every time, and then sometimes I didn't even make it more than five turns before it broke again.

I know it was your mod because it's the only thing I'm using besides IGE and Advanced Start-Up, which haven't been changed in any way in a very long time.

The problem only stopped upon removing your mod and has yet to reoccur as I've decided to wait until another update as the reviews on the core mod right now say that the mod isn't super stable. I'm not sure what happened with the last update, but it was truly catastrophic for my game.

I would also like to ask why it is you feel the need to update so frequently when neglecting to update it on the players end eventually makes saves stop loading. How is someone supposed to finish an epic-length game if updates are required so frequently? if this comes off as rude, that's not the intention. i truly do not understand why it's being updated so often. since beginning to play this again (around June 15th), I've had to update this mod probably four times now. It also just feels kind of disingenuous for you to say a reinstall is only necessary after major updates when it is required for EVERY update.

I love the gameplay changes your mods make, but it's quickly becoming a very large headache to try and use it.
