There are 2 versions of NQ Mod:

  1. Civ 5 Multiplayer With Mods
  2. Civ 5 Multiplayer Map Mod
  1. For Sid Meier's Civilization V on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Multiplayer on custom map with custom settings'.
  2. Sid Meier's Civilization V; Mods; Mods. Current section. Viewing: Pages 1; Time. Just a basic Multiplayer Modpack for CIV 5. 71.7MB; 1; 57; Modpack 2-9 Latest Stable. A Mod adding the Lusitanian civilization and Viriathus leader to Civ V. Civilization V Brave New World is required. 249.6MB; 0; 14; Viriathus - Iberian Alliance.

The idea seems to be that since there are already 'official mods' (i.e. The expansions packs) that work in multiplayer, then you just have to make the game believe that those community mods of yours are official too. Apparently every player must have the exact same mods in use, which would make sense.

DLC Mod
  • Affects all games - single and multiplayer. Must use this version for multiplayer.
  • It will be always on both for single and multiplayer (the game will treat it as DLC).
Local Mod
  • Affects single player only when you enable it (through in-game Mods menu).
  • Will not affect multiplayer games and you can still play normal (un-modded) single player.

Downloads & Required DLCEdit

DOWNLOAD
Download Link (see below to decide whether you need the DLC Mod or the Local Mod)

DLC ModEdit

(Affects all games, both Single & Multiplayer)

**Note: In v12.3 the 'MP_MODSPACK' folder has been renamed to 'NQMod_DLC_12_3'. The installation instructions should otherwise be the same.

Civ 5 Multiplayer With Mods

WARNING
Due to the fact that multiplayer mods via the Steam Workshop are not currently possible, all users must download the mod manually and copy it to their install directory. The game will treat it as DLC and it will be always on both for single and multi player. If you want to play a game without the mod, single or multiplayer, you must move or delete the mod as outlined below.
MORE WARNING!
The same version of the mod must be installed on ALL players' computers or it will not work - there will be a mismatch/crash at some point and you'll be forced to scrap!
Civ 5 Multiplayer With Mods
INSTALLATION
  • Quit the game.
  • If you have any previous version of NQ Mod installed, delete it first. (The folder is called 'MP_MODSPACK' - see 2 steps below for its location)
  • Download the '[DLC - SP and MP]' zip file from the download link.
  • Unzip and copy the 'MP_MODSPACK' folder to your DLC directory:
Default Steam Installation (WINDOWS 7):
(your folder should look something like this image below)
UNINSTALLATION
Civ 5 Multiplayer With Mods
  • Quit the game.
  • Go to your DLC folder (it's the same folder listed above under 'Installation')
  • Delete the folder 'MP_MODSPACK' or move it out of your DLC folder.
  • Start the game.
PRO TIPS:
  • To make it easier to install/uninstall put a shortcut on your desktop to Civ 5's DLC folder. When you are done playing with the mod move the 'MP_MODSPACK' folder to the desktop to Civ normally. To play an NQ Mod game again just drag it back in easy peasy. ^_^
  • If you want to go even more crazy, you can create an 'enable.bat' and 'disable.bat' file in your Civ5 folder, which you can then shortcut to your desktop:
    • Create a new folder in your Civ5 folder (e. g. 'disabled_mods')
    • Put the following content into the .bat files:
into the one which enables the mod...
into the one which disables the mod...

Local ModEdit

(Affects Single Player games only!!)

You do not have to uninstall this version of the mod to play games normally again, but it is not playable in a multiplayer setting. You can only play this single player vs AI.
INSTALLATION
  • Download the '[Local - SP Only]' zip file from the download link.
  • Unzip it in the appropriate directory:

Civ 5 Multiplayer Map Mod

Default Steam Installation (WINDOWS 7):
  • Load via the in-game MODS menu (instead of Single/Multi player).

Hi,
I've started playing Civ5 a lot lately, and I'm a bit confused as to how you actually enable mods, as the game is very unclear on how it works, especially now that steam workshop has annoyingly taken things over. I've 'Subscribed' to the mods (As workshop has no 'Download' button) and in the 'Mods' window, it shows them as enabled, but I can't seem to actually activate or use them in custom single player games. I've ticked them to enable them, but things like custom civs, and custom maps are just nowhere to be found.
Thanks in advance
