You need to go into your root game folder and make a new folder named "MODS" and place your mods in there. you can turn them off and on w/ adding or removing a - minus in front of the file name.

thks for quick reply.. So all I need to do is put the effects folder in the mods folder? or do I take the files out of the effects folder (and sub folders) and put them into mods?

The effects folder has 3 sub folders, fireworks, tracers and textures. Under the tracers folder is another sub folder also called textures or like this
G:\sims\WWII\flight\IL-2 1946_409\mods\effects\fireworks\7 files
G:\sims\WWII\flight\IL-2 1946_409\mods\effects\textures\ 3 files
G:\sims\WWII\flight\IL-2 1946_409\mods\effects\tracers\textures\ 2 files

12 files in all. Do I put these into mods folder?

I don't need the AC installer or sound mod do I??

thanks
