I've been getting questions about installing the mod if you bought the game from steam, so I'm going to post some instructions here:
Installing the mod requires a few steps. first you need to get to your SEIV directory. If you are using Windows, the directory pathway is going to be something like Programfiles (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Space Empires IV Deluxe/se4.
When you get to this directory, follow these steps:
1. Go to the "extras" file and install the TDM modpack into the main directory - its a mod controller.
2. create a file in the main directory called "Proportions".
3. Unzip your Proportions 3.1.3. Mod and extract the files into the "Proportions" folder you made in the se4 directory.
4. Use the executable created by the TDM modpack to launch the mod.
5. If this does not work for whatever reason, go into the "Path.txt" notepad file in the main directory and change the "Using Mod Directory" part of the file to say ":= Proportions"
Note that when you boot up the game it may NOT say "Proportions 3.1.3". Mine still says "Version 1.95" as if it were still vanilla. But its not. A quick way to make sure is to start up a game using "quick start" and look at your homeworld's facilities. Does your homeworld have a cultural center? If it does, congratulations, you are playing proportions mod!
