Troubleshooting / Re: Please help a desperate rookie :'(

Hello everyone,

Long time fan, first time openXcom user here. I just got done installing openxcom UFO defense, but I am having trouble, and I can't tell if I have done it properly. If somebody could offer guidance I would be most grateful!

Me too!

I'm running Win 10 which seems to throw everything I do slightly off!

I loaded Xcom defence from Steam, used the windows installer and then tried to get the area 51 mod loaded but was rather stumped by the fact I couldn't find a mods folder. So last night I just played open XCom which was great but I would like to try the mods!

So when I get home from work tonight I am assuming I should -

• Uninstall everything
  
  Reinstall Xcom Defence from steam
  
  Get the nightly and unzip it to my Desktop
  
  Open the original game's folder. Copy the GEODATA, GEOGRAPH, MAPS, ROUTES, SOUND, TERRAIN, UFOGRAPH, UFOINTRO and UNITS folders to the /openxcom/UFO/ folder of the nightly
  
  Run the nightly
  
  Copy the mods folder to C:/users/yourname/Documents/OpenXCom/mods/
  
  Start OpenXCom
  
  Select the Mods I want
  
  PLAY!

Is that correct?
