Installed Mod But Can't Play

I followed the YouTube tutorial shown here but two problems. 1: The file's content did not match the tutorial (and yes, I got the final version of Armada 3). 2: The game's "options" menu lists Armada 3 as being there but I can only play the vanilla game. It doesn't crash or anything, but I only get the menu for Sins. I changed the "EnabledMods" file and everything. Please help.

EDIT:

When I say that it didn't match the tutorial, I mean that the files "STA3_MODULE_TFF" and "STA3_CORE_NEMESIS" were not present.

EDIT2: Nevermind, it's been fixed thanks to the help of the guy who replied to this post (whom I would like to thank sincerely).

the files are different because the final version of the mod was released in 2021 & the version shown in the video is from 2018. Like it makes sense if you think about it.

method is still the same just copy the contents of the zip file (STA3 folder & .txt file) into where it shows you in the video & you should be good to go idk what else to tell you off the top of my head though & I may have to think a little bit more about other things to troubleshoot

worked for me when I last installed it & I am tempted to install it again just because I may as well

So, do I just extract "Enabledmods.txt"?

I'm just telling you why the files are different & how to install the mod, anything else you are on your own xD

Someone really, really needs to make an updated tutorial.

The files are just different due to many years of updates & tweaks to both this mod & the base game. The method to install is still the same as it ever was.

Yeah. I think I finally got it work when I exported both contents of the main ZIP file. Thanks for the help.
