Hello,

I downloaded Promods 2.0 but something went wrong. After I downloaded the 7z -files, I tried to open them with WinRAR. That somehow didn't work. I deleted the files and tried to download them again. But now the files get .001, .002, .003 as an extension and cannot be opened due to damage. How do I download the files again but then with the right extension?

You need 7zip. No need to download the mod again, you did download them with the correct extension. You need to download the correct archivemanager

It worked, but now my savegame won't work, since it is v1.98
How do I play with my old savegame? I have the gamelog at pastebin:

Did you do 1 or 2?

1.
Copy 2.00 to mod folder
Delete 1.98 from mod folder
Open game
Enable 2.00
Loaded save.

2.
Copy 2.00 to mod folder
Open game
Disable 1.98
Enable 2.00
Load save
Quit game
Delete 1.98 from mod folder.


I believe you did 1. Which is wrong. Now the save misses the 1.98 mod files. (Which it thinks are still enabled, since you never disabled them)

I deleted the 1.98 version earlier, then downloaded 2.00 and installed them.

Please, please, don't tell me I have to start all over again...

What message do you get when you start the game? Do you get the message 'Game may be become unstable due to missing 1.98' or something like that?

I have red "!" -marks at the side of the savegame, if I want to start it up, it's giving me the warning that the game might crash.

You can just ignore them. Those "!"-marks mean something has changed. Which is correct, you changed the mods. Just load the latest savegame. The game will do an economy reset. And you will be at your HQ. Your last delivery will be cancelled for free. Nothing bad will happen.

You're welcome, let my know if it worked! If it doesn't. Post the new game.log :)
