Hello. I've never used mods before but decided to give it a try. I've downloaded a Water Mod for Simcity 5. I've unzipped the .package file to the correct folder. The script files were already up to date so there was no need to copy/paste them into their folder. Launched the game and started a new region.....saved it....completely exited the game, including Origin. When I reloaded the region, put in the basics to be able to provide water. I selected the first water tower, and saw that it said $Free $No Cost and thought 'Great! The mod works!' ... When I tried to plop the tower, I noticed a red message stating 'No Water Available In This Area'.... Rubbish! The water table was dark blue! I plopped it anyway, and at first it showed I was getting water. A moment later the residents were saying they had no water. I clicked on the tower, and suddenly my available water was -0.1.... Did I do something wrong? I'm on a laptop running Windows 10 with the Digital version of Simcity including CoT through Origin.
EDIT: I've managed to get a region going with some working mods. However, if I exit for the night and reload the game the next day, the mods no longer work.
