So for those modelers who want to submit Pirates of the Burning Sea ships I wanted to provide the exact contract verbiage as given to me by a dev a long while back and also quoted to me by one of the original modelers.

Update.zip

After you copy over the files, load a save, and then use F4 key. You should see an “Operation Successful” in the upper right message. Then try to remove/fix your ship’s cannons. If it doesn’t work, you may have to replace your current ship with a replacement of the…[Read more]

“You will have to get the new model, then run a console.c fix to reinitialize the ship after you load a game”

I would also bet that because Jeffrey has adopted this to his to-do-list, it will…[Read more]
