Can anyone help me figure out why the mods dont seem to be working for me?

Here's what I did:
->Downloaded the .png file I wanted.
->unzipped it into a folder that I created specifically for mods.
->went into VV2 image folder and created a new folder called original backups
->moved the carrying.png file from images to original backups
->moved mod file into images folder and renamed it carrying.png
->closed the folders and launched the game.
Alas, my mushies are still brown....

If it matters, I was trying to use Charley's mushroom mod #3 found in the link in the 6th post from the top here Game mods thread
Thanks

You also need to move the Collectables_images3 file into the game.

Hi Charley.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I did that too. And renamed it to collectables_images.png

So, to clarify, both the new carrying.png and the collectables_images.png files are in my game and the original files of those names are gone from the game images folder (safely saved elsewhere). The game was closed while I did this, and when it didn't work, I exited the game again and restarted my computer before relaunching the game, but I still have brown mushrooms. Clear as mud?

I guess at this point it doesn't matter much, as I don't need to collect mushies anymore. But I would like to know what I'm doing wrong so I can actually see them next time. My vision just isn't very good anymore.

Can you send me your images file in a zip for me? I just want to see if there's something wrong with it. Your mushrooms should show up as the ones you've chosen.

Sure. PM me your email addy and I'll get it over to you.
Thanks.

im trying to get a pizza one but cant get it

My problem is I want to get a mushroom mod, but I'm using a collectible mod, so it seems like I need to choose one or the other. Any advice, or is there a way to use both.
