There is currently no way to do this with Anno. There is a program called the AnnoMapEditor that will allow one to place islands as desired on a map with a custom layout. https://github.com/anno-mods/AnnoMapEditor It is currently limited to the Old World. I haven't tried it yet, but it is at the top of my list.

Here is a link to a map editor for Anno 1800. Look at the readme and read the Issues that discuss what the map editor can do. https://github.com/anno-mods/AnnoMapEditor After looking at this AnnoMapEditor, it doesn't look like this would be possible. But I could be wrong.

The Boost mod collection has a 50% lower field requirement. [boost] Field Reduction (50%) Add [Gameplay] Free Farmfield Placement to let you place the fields anywhere within a large radius. And the [Gameplay] Move Mines Oil Clay mod. These three mods will probably give you the best overall freedom in placing farms wherever you want. You can also edit the first mod and change the reduction to something higher.

The Spice it Up mod collection has one mod that replaces the wires with street lights. It also includes several mods that add ornaments. The description page on the Spice it Up mods shows what is available in the mod.

This is an old list I found somewhere. Does anyone know where I can find an updated list for the latest Anno 1800 DLCs?

Update Link to Modding section in the Anno 1800 Fandom Wiki: https://anno1800.fandom.com/wiki/Modding#RDA_file_organization Looks like the Link to the RDA Explorer was added per my request. Yea! (Top of next section, Basic Info) In the Anno 1800 Wiki, scroll down to: Modding Guides & Websites The first item points to the Modding Blog: https://schwubbe.de/modding_blog.php (Change the display to the language of your choice in the upper right of the page.) I find this web page most useful when looking for information on how to make your own mod, and how to install mods. The second item goes to a link to an old UBI site that no longer exists and should be deleted from the Wiki. The links to the other places in this section appear to be good and still work for me. Note that the last item is a link in Github that has links to other Mod Collections for Anno 1800 in Github only. (Posting issues at this link, will most likely be ignored. This place was meant to point to other mod collections. It is not a place for posting suggestions and asking for help with mods.)

I am using the latest Modloader files posted on the Spice It Up mods. One of the files shows version 0.9.4, and the other shows version 3.5.2. They work fine. Also when playing most games, I always exclude the folders or drives where I place my games from Virus and Antimalware protection. Also AV software is way over protective anyway. I have been using the built in virus protection that comes with Windows 10 for several years with no issues. I used to check my system with Malwarebytes every few months but now in the last 2 or 3 years I quit doing even that.

There needs to be some kind of Guide to show how to use Vortex with Cities Skylines. A readme.txt file would be great. Also, Can I take a mod that I download with steam, move it somewhere and manage it with Vortex instead of the Steam Workshop?

Wish I could help. I haven't tried those mods. Most of my mods come from the Spice it Up mods collection. And some of them don't work either. I don't know why. And many of the mod authors appear to have moved on and no longer support their mods.

I have never heard of the requirement for a 'dummy' file. I do not believe there is such a thing. You need to tell us what platform this game was purchased under as the placement of the mod folder may be different. I purchased the game from EpicGames and when installing the game this is where my game was placed: E:\EpicGames\ANNO1800 It may be in a different folder with your installation. The mods folder goes into the Anno1800 folder. It is a folder you create and this is where your mods go. When the game starts up it will create a '.cache' folder in the 'mods' folder. The best place to go for help is the official Ubisoft forums here: https://forums.ubisoft.com/forumdisplay.php/879-Anno Officially Ubisoft does not support mods, but there may be someone there that may be better able to help you in this. Edit: Ubisoft will tell you to disable all mods before they will assist in any crashes you might be having with your game. Also, I don't use a mod manager so I can not help you there. The way mods are added to this game is so simple that adding a mod manager to add mods makes no sense at all for this game. If we were discussing Fallout for instance, then a mod manager would make sense for that game.

The Anno 1800 Wiki was never updated. The only thing I found was a pointer to some German forums. I don't understand German well enough to understand anything on those forums. Ich bin ein Amerikaner. :cool: (Probably spelled wrong.) Should I be looking at modding discussions for older Anno games?

I have the same issue when running Wrye Bash with Fallout 4. (Version 307 beta 6.1 that is available on the Nexus) Unfortunately for me the masters window is smaller and there is no way to drag the window to increase the size. It appears there was a bug about this on Github but it was closed for some reason. And it can't be bugged on the Nexus because comments are locked. It looks like no one cares to fix this issue.

Borderlands does the ladder climbing quite well. When the Creation Kit comes out, maybe this will be possible. I would rather see a mod that shows the climbing animations, instead of the teleporting.

I agree. Probably have to wait for the Creation Kit for this though.

Thanks again.
