Now, as a primarily console-based gamer, I have to take deep breaths when I hear about a cool PC game because odds are that it won’t work on my Mac, but luckily, in this case, Crusader Kings II is available for PC and Mac, so I went ahead and bought my copy from the Mac Game Store. If you’re like me, you might have heard about the game Crusader Kings II through Penny Arcade TV’s Extra Credits show in an episode called Games You Might Not Have Tried #4 and you might have thought, “hm, that looks like a really neat Civilization-type strategy game with a pretty rich story…” But then the narrator said, “Game of Thrones mod…” and you were hooked. I am writing this to help others that have run into similar problems. Note: This entry does not relate to art or design, in the traditional sense of my site. Run the game and select A Game of Thrones in the mod panel of the launcher. Unzip the A Game of Thrones folder and the A Game of Thrones.mod file from the ZIP you downloaded into the newly-created mod folder.
In Finder, go to YOUR-USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/ and create a folder called A Game of Thrones and another folder called mod. You can find out which version of CK2 you have installed in the game’s launcher: That should match for consistent results.
Now onto the instructions: StepĪfter you uninstall the MacGameStore version of the game (if applicable), then install the Steam version, run it for the first time so that it recreates the Paradox Interactive folder in your Documents folder then quit the game.ĭownload the latest version of the mod from here (make sure to download the Zipped Files version) and make sure to take note of which version number of the CK2 game it’s compatible with. Thankfully, if you go into your purchase history, they give you a Steam key that you can redeem on Steam for the latest version of Crusader Kings II. If you, like me, bought the game from way back in the day, they’re no longer updating the game for whatever reason. UPDATE (2): Since this is such a popular post and is still one of the top results for how to install the mod, here are the updated instructions:
UPDATE (7): I haven’t bothered to run the Game of Thrones mod in a few years I find, for the hassle, it doesn’t actually make that much of a difference over the original Crusader Kings… but William recently commented on this post and suggested that this method works a charm, so give it a shot:
