I don’t see why that would have been a problem.
I might release a set of mods which feature specific cultures. Right now I am working on my own Neolithic Clothing project, which means I will be making lots of stuff I could port over to the mods.
For example: Here is an early LBK Neolithic culture paint scheme based on a rather intense study of LBK figurines I did.

Now I just need to figure out how to make meshes for these clothing outfits, and I can start making culture-specific clothing. Prehistoric clothing is specifically what I research.
We have some post related to how to model. We will post some related to clothing.

Also, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE INFORMATION!!!

Is your mod working now? I just subbed it as only just realised there is a few mods there already like the high resolution map
We support FBX format that is supported in almost any 3D software.

Can you post some on cultures as well?
(Thank you!)
Also I’m looking in D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Ancient Cities\Ancient\Data\Ancient\Mod but there are no mod files in here, I’m subscribed to several though.

Steam mods are downloaded in other steam directory. This mod is a local mod folder for mods shipped with the game ( languages for example). Your mods should be placed in your documents folder as has been already explained.

My mods in there and I’ve just managed to figure out why its not working
The game directory has \Ancient Cities\Ancient\Data\Ancient\Entity\Culture[Culture] as a path which I replicated through in the mods folder. Mod\Ancient Cities\Ancient\Data\Ancient\Entity\Culture[Culture]
Putting the mod in to Mod\Ancient\Entity\Culture[Culture] works.
I need to do some checking but I’ll stick on steam at some point.

We upload to steam only mods in your documents folder. /Uncasual Games/Ancient Cities/Mod\Name/Ancient\Entity\Culture is the correct path

Yep got it.
Unfortunately I now get this but can’t see anything that generates names/colours in that culture file
Icon looks pretty snazzy mind.
Can you point me to that file, please?
Each entity in the game is a world. Will be interesting if you suggest what entities you want to know how to mod first. Or which elements in the game.

I was mostly messing with icon files and seeing what the base Mesolithic culture can be changed to.
I see an extra Mesolithic folder and Neolithic(!) folder in one section so I’ll look at those. I’m guessing this is where the names and such come from?
\Ancient\Entity\Local\Human\Culture
@lotus253
Cultures can be changed here
Ancient\Entity\Culture[culture name]
That just changes the main map icon.

Culture is not only an icon, a map and a name. Many other entities in game have specific elements related to culture. For example humans have their clothes & tatoos based in culture. In fact anything is technically able to be related with culture ( animations for example).
