The AI could not get a single game mod of mine to work

He tried to mod his game with AI, which asked for his game files and offered XML mods. So far not one of the mods has worked.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. The AI asks for his game files
  2. It offers XML mods
  3. He tries them
  4. None of the mods work

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent had his actual game files in hand and still could not produce one working mod.
