How to open CIV5MOD file?
The most common problem when using Civilization 5 Mod Format is that a specific CIV5MOD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CIV5MOD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CIV5MOD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Civilization 5
In this case, you should first verify that the Civilization 5 application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Civilization 5 into the system search engine.

Programs to open CIV5MOD file
Remember to download programs supporting CIV5MOD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Civilization 5 with CIV5MOD files
If, despite the installed application, the CIV5MOD file does not start in the Civilization 5 application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CIV5MOD file with the Civilization 5 application.
Step 3. Update Civilization 5 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Civilization 5 program, it is possible that Civilization 5 Mod Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Firaxis Games website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CIV5MOD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CIV5MOD file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CIV5MOD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CIV5MOD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CIV5MOD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CIV5MOD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CIV5MOD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CIV5MOD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CIV5MOD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CIV5MOD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
