You have to use the mod enabler to activate the patch, at least in the gamersgate version.

I re-downloaded the game,re-installed and now the patch works fine.
In the support e-mail,they asked if I had activated the game?
My question is,how? I have been playing it ok,I don't remember activating it.
Do I have to? I have a serial number but don't re-call ever using it.

You can use this code in the offizial "Parradox"-Forum to register your game..

Thanks Zambrium,it's all sorted now.

I just saw that this is on sale right now over at D2D for $3.99. Use code SHOWERS to bring it down another 20% to $3.19

Nice screenshot, I like how you used the correct German flag; I never liked the default game flag (it's like the Egyptian flag to me). So, would that be Hemul's flag mod you used there? You see, I was asking over in this thread http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3211697/Hemul_if_you_cruise_by_these_f.html#Post3288364 if Hemul could re-upload his mod again as the old links are dead... but he isn't answering. Would you (or anyone) be so kind as to upload it somewhere so myself and others can use his flag mod? Or if it isn't Hemul's mod, if you don't mind me asking which mod is it, and/or how can we edit the textures ourselves? Actually I'd be happier editing it myself if I knew which tools to use to extract the data files so I can add my own textures (I'd like to make my own sound mod too). Thanks.
