Civ 5 Save Editor

Wait, a non Witcher question? For shame!

Now that Civ V's been out for a while, I thought I would repurpose part of the game. Simply put, I'd love to use the rendered terrain to create hex-based maps for use in other areas, for instance, with my D&D group.

However, I can't seem to find a stand alone version of a map editor of any sort. The last Civ game I owned, Civ III, had a stand alone program to edit the maps, but I haven't found anything similar for Civ V. Does Civ V have a dedicated map editor? And if it's not a stand alone program, how do I access it in the first place?

Assuming you use Steam*:

First of all you’ll need to download the Civilization V world builder itself. Open up Steam and head to the Tools section of your games library, find Sid Meier’s Civilization V SDK and install it. Once the small download has finished you can launch the SDK at any time straight from this menu.

_{*Civ 5 is Steam-only I hear, my bad.}

Back to Civilization VI
Modding is the process of downloading and installing mods (short for modifications). Civilization VI has very extensive modding capabilities, allowing users to add, change, or remove a large amount of content. Mods are a file, or collection of files, that are able to modify some aspect of the game through Lua and XML programming. Mods are capable of doing a large amount of things ranging from simple things like making mountains passable to the extremely large of adding several new civilizations.

Seasoned modders started making mods to the game as soon as it came out. However, the official tooling and Steam Workshop support were added a few months after the launch, in the Civilization VI February 2017 Update.

WARNING Edit

Modding, if you do not know what you are doing, can be dangerous. DO NOT download files on the internet without certainty of what it is and what it does. Somebody may claim that a website has a mod, but instead will install a virus on your computer. Below is a list of sources where it is recommended to find Civilization VI mods.

It is also possible to corrupt save files or make the game crash. Different mods change different parts of the game, so some mods can conflict with other mods and result in a crash, bizarre functionality, or glitches.

Common Mod Sources Edit

This is a list of websites where mods are typically posted, and where it is recommended to download mods. Each has a 'Danger Rating', this being the likely hood (or lack thereof) of viruses being disguised as mods on these websites. Bear in mind that while some are not perfect, these are still the best places to find mods.

Civilization VI Steam Workshop Edit

• Danger Rating: Unlikely
• Link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/289070/workshop/

The Steam client has a built in means of downloading and installing mods, and is possibly one of the safest means of getting mods. Unlike the other sources where you have to manually install the mod, Steam does this automatically if you use the Steam Client, and you can download simply by clicking the 'Subscribe' button on a mods page.

Nexus Mods Edit

• Danger Rating: Unlikely

Nexus Mods is a commonly used mod website with a built in download scanner for viruses and a fairly strict moderation team.

CivFanatics Civilization VI Creation & Customization Sub-forum Edit

• Danger Rating: Moderate/Unlikely
• Link: http://forums.civfanatics.com/forums/civ6-creation-customization.541/

CivFanatics is a very popular, widely used, and long lasting website dedicated to all things Civilization. The Creation & Customization Sub-Forum for Civilization VI is the place where threads are posted if they related to mods or modding. The website has moderators, so the odds of a thread containing a virus rather than a mod is low, but as it is a place where anyone can post, you should still remain cautious if you find a thread by a new user or that has few replies.

The Civilization /r/civ Subreddit Edit

• Danger Rating: Moderate
• Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/civ

Reddit is a popular website where people can make 'Subreddits' (essentially sub-forums) based on any topic, and this is the subreddit for Civilization. Anything related to Civ can be posted here, so most things are not mods, but mods are posted on here. This is a place where anyone can post, so be wary of unknown files, but there are subreddit moderators so posts that hit the front page typically are fine.

How to Install Mods Edit

This is a short, step-by-step guide on installing mods

Method 1: Steam Workshop Edit

This guide is for if you are using the Steam Workshop to download and install mods. In order to do this, you will need the Steam Client and a Steam Account:

6. Play and have fun!

Method 2: Manually Edit

If you are downloading the mod through a website and internet browser, than this is the guide to use. In order to do this, you will need:

• An Internet Browser (To download the mod)
• 7-Zip OR WInrar (To open the mod)

3. Unpack the download .zip/.rar file into the Mods Folder. This should result with a single new folder appearing in the DLC Folder.

How to Create a Mod Edit

Creating a Mod can be difficult or simple depending on the scope of the mod. Obviously smaller, simpler mods take a lot less effort and programming knowledge.
