Problem with Mod Path!

Ok, I wanted to put a mod for my game, I cheked mod path in game and it gaved me this(below)

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrechment v1.01

Problem is, there is no existing folder in my computer cald "Local Settings'' When I tried to find it in my computer it finds files that are in Local Settings but thats all, so I realy can't put no mods.

In User folder I have like Desktop, My Coputer,System, favorites, start menu and some funky file:)

So if some one have an idea....?

Looks like your using XP, so heres what to do. Lower left hand corner of the desktop click on START, Then click on CONTROL PANEL, then click on APPEARANCE AND THEMES, then click on FOLDER OPTIONS, on the top of the folder options box click on VIEW, then click on the circle that says SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS, then at the bottom of this box click on apply. Now you will be able to see the file "Local Settings"

rakerake the CORRECT PATH IS

assuming you have sins 1.17/entrenchment 1.03, the galaxy forge maps NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\

NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

hope this helps

I think the problem might have been that rake didn't replace user with his own user

I feel dumb, it seems that the problem is this user .Ok I wana understand corectly, I need to replace my original user folder with my ingame user for example ''rake '' if so it's imposible, winddows won't alow that, its system folder!
