It's up to the creator of each mod to provide instructions for using their creation. Some mods are more involved than others. Since the mods are all user creations, they aren't supported by LDW and you assume any risks associated with using them. We just post them for the convenience and enjoyment of our community.

Thanks Barbara!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MUSHROOM MODS

1. Download a mod from HERE.

2. Find your VV2 images directory at:
   C:\Program Files\Virtual Villagers - The Lost Children\Images

3. in the image directory, find the file:
   collectables_images.png and rename it to:
   collectables_images_ORIGINAL.png

4. extract the file collectables_images.png from the zipped mod
   you downloaded in step 1 and copy it to the images directory.

Borg, check the link that bluemchen posted on the previous page - it tells you all you need to know to get your mods posted.

how do you get into the graphics to change things like the shroom things (i have adobe photoshop)

see borgs last post - go into that folder and simply open the files in photoshop then - edit according to your desires. save and that's about it :-)

I'm starting a mod site for Virtual Villagers. It only has one mod so far, but I'm working on others to add to it. http://millsmods.tripod.com/MillsMods.html If anyone goes there, most of the pages are still blank.

And if you're making changes to the images folder, you should definitely copy them to a safe location first so you have backups of the original.

I was wondering that myself ... anyone know?

I'm not sure. I haven't seen it in the game yet, and it doesn't appear to be in the carry pic, which has the graphics for the items while they are carrying them around.

Use your image editor to edit the file:
   collectables_images.png
which is located here:
   C:\Program Files\Virtual Villagers - The Lost Children\Images

The file above is for the images of the collectables. There are other files in this folder that you can edit to change clothing, heads, and much more.

Don't forget to make a backup of the original files first!
