This is actually a collection of mods that completely convert Civilization V. Best torrent downloader for mac. National anthems, speeches, pictures, maps, people, wonders, city-states, and scenarios will all put you in the middle. I had this same problem too, with a missing.lua. I kept trying to open it through text wrangler and even text edit but was hitting a wall trying to get into the Civ 5 g&k contents. Since im kinda new to macs i got frustrated and merely used the default mac search within 'Civilization V: Gods and Kings' for mainmenu.

Civilization series is a simulated game which offers new ways to engage with your world, the Civilization VI has released in 2016. This guide will tech you how to add mods on MAC in the game.
Move the Mod to the Corresponding Directory
Generally speaking, you are adding mod files to a specific directory on your mac. You aren’t changing any code or anything, just dropping some files in a directory. Apparently Civ 6 is smart enough to know that these are mod files unlike Civ 5.
Once you drop the files in, Civ 6 will know they are there and you can play with the mods or without from within the Civ 6 game.
Finding the Mods
Find the mod you upload in the game and download them.
Install the Mods on the MAC
The thing to realize is that the folder will be under your “user” folders in Finder and, more specifically, in the “library” subfolder and, even more specifically, under the “Application Support” subfolder of the library subfolder of your user folder structure. But, the whole “library/application support/” subfolder structure will itself be hidden – meaning you can’t easily find it.
But here is where it is/what you do:
- Open Finder
- IGNORE the search box.
- instead, click on the “go” menu and then select “go to folder”
- in that window, type the following: “~/library/Application Support/” (without the quotation marks, obviously)
- that will now show you the previously hidden library folder under your user name….
- Then, within the “Application Support” folder find and select the “Sid Meier’s Civilization 6” folder (note: for Civ 5, I think some of the folder selection required going to the “Steam” folders – ignore those, just go to the SMC 6 folder)
- from there, there is a folder called “Mods”
Great, now you have the right folder.
So, go back to your downloaded mod and unpack it (assuming it is a .zip or whatever) into that Mods folder.
eg: the first mod I installed was the “unit report screen” mod – so I made a subfolder of the Mods folder called “unit report screen” and put the contents of the .zip for the mod into that folder (4 files)
Use the Mods in the Game
Now, next time you launch the game, select the “additional content” menu off the start and your newly installed mods should be there.
You can just check the boxes for the mods you want to use.

Requirements
To install Civilization V Mods, you’re going to need a copy of Civilization V. Not a problem, obviously, but there’s a catch. Even though the Mac version has been released, guess what, Macshirts: user created Mods are not supported by the Mac version of Civilization V:
“Unfortunately, user-created mods … would require us to build custom versions of the full application ourselves in order to support a limited number of specific mods and still leave others unsupported. Similarly, modding tools are implemented with Microsoft .NET, and would present a significant porting challenge involving total rewrites. Bottom line: There is no way to create a Mac experience that allows for a good end-user experience for user-created mods. Believe us—we tried.”
However, before PC fanatics started shouting Haw-HAW, Mac Users aren’t completely screwed1. If you purchase your copy of Civilization V via
steam you have access to both versions. If you have a gaming PC, no sweat. If not, just create a dual boot on virtual PC on your Mac and you’re good to go.

All this is a long winded way of saying if you want to install Civilization V Mods and more importantly, play them, you’re going to have to use the PC version, and that’s what we’ll be covering here. But hey! At least Beatles songs are available on iTunes, right?

Installing Civilization V Mods
Mods are fully supported by Civilization V. Even so, they aren’t fully endorsed. As you’ll see below, Firaxis goes out of their way to remind you that you install them at your own risk, that they can’t guarantee mods won’t frack up your machine, etc etc etc. The point: they aren’t actually part of the official game, and quite few players have experienced some problems getting them to work. We’ll show you how to deal with that.
Step One
Open Civilzation V, and from the main screen menu, select the Mods browser:
Step Two
Remember those MODS MIGHT KILL YOU warnings we discussed above? You’re going to see it now.
That’s not scary at all, so go ahead and click “accept”.
Step Three
This one’s easy. In the next screen, select “Browse Mods” to review the Civilization V mods you’ve already installed, or look around for new goodies to play.
Step Four
Now you’ll be taken to the Civilization V Mods manager. From the Menu along the top, select “online” to review a giant list of mods available for download.
In this section, you’ll see a cascading list of Mods. Those you’ve already downloaded will be noted. The rest will show they’re available for download, like so:
Select the one you want by clicking the “download” button. You’ll be taken to another warning screen, but like above, click accept and move on with your life.
Step Five
Now, wait for the download to complete (you’ll see a giant, shiny green “Completed!” bar confirming the download. Then from the top bar menu, select the “installed” tab.
In this section, you’ll see a list of the mods you’ve downloaded. Select the one (or ones) you want, and click the “Install Mods” button.
Now all you need to do is check the circle next to the installed mod in order to enable it. Now back at the main menu, where you’ll select Single Player. Once there, select “Setup game” or “Custom Setup”, depending on the mod. Ta-Da! Dunzo! Now you’re ready to play.
FINAL NOTE: If you’re not using Steam, or for some other reason, you’ve had to download the mod manually rather than selecting it from the Mods Browser, after initial download you’ll need to manually move it over to your Civ V mods folder (most likely, My DocumentsMy GamesSid Meiers Civilization VMODS). After that, unpack it in the same folder, then go into the Mods Browser and follow the instructions above. You shouldn’t have any problems.
Civilization V Mods You Need To Play
Legions
We cannot recommend Legions highly enough. Just how dramatic an update Civilization V is to the venerable series is open to debate, but no one disagrees that the one-unit-per-tile rule represents a gigantic break with the series’ conventions. Commentary on this change have been largely positive, but if you’re like me, you’re probably more interested in the non-military aspects of empire maintenance, and rather miss the Stacks of Doom style combat of past Civ games.
Legions brings them back to Civilization V by removing the one-unit-per-tile restriction. Overall modifications to Civ V include:
Removes the 1UPT (one unit per tile) limit.
Legions mod is completely modular and can be run concurrently with other mods.
Attack I promotion- +15% when attacking.
Attack II promotion- +15% when attacking.
Attack III promotion- +15% when attacking.
City Defense promotion- +25% when defending a city.
Defense I promotion- +15% when defending.
Defense II promotion- +15% when defending.
Defense III promotion- +15% when defending.
Shock promotions now give a standard +10% to combat instead of +20% on open terrain.
Unit maintenance is reduced by 25%.
Units in cities no longer get additional hit points, to adjust for the ability to stack defenders in cities.

Yay for Stacks Of Doooom! Legions is available right now from the Mod Browser in Civilization V.
True Start Location
Not quite as packed-to-bursting as the classic Rhye’s And Fall of Civilization mod for Civ IV, True Start Location is still pretty cool. It provides you with map that approximates Earth really accurately, and starts all cultures in their real life locations. There’s even a version for all map sizes (in case you feel like selecting a HUGE map.)
This one’s a manual download. Get it here.
Queen of the Iceni
The Celtic Empire was added to Civilization IV via the Warlords expansion pack, and players quickly discovered they were one of the single best things about the game. So What The Hell were they thinking, leaving them out of Civilization V? Queen of the Iceni corrects this tremendous injustice by adding the Celtic Civilization to Civ V. Boudica, based on her art from Civ IV, returns as leader of this empire. In addition, new unique units, traits, and functionality have been added. It’s an impressive mod, and should tide you over until Firaxis finally gets around to adding them in an upcoming expansion pack.

R.E.D. Modpack
Among the biggest gripes about Civ V (and let’s be frank – there are many, well deserved gripes), one of the most frequent is the ridiculously uneven scale of combat units. Spearmen tower over tanks, and Renaissance ships dwarf modern battleships. The R.E.D. modpack aims to rectify this by bring units into something resembling a more realistic scale. They don’t make them true scale – you want to actually be able to see your units – but they no longer look as appallingly lazy as they once did.
