3. You're done!

5. Click on the "Star Wars Ancient Fears" mod, then click on "Switch Theme" and wait.

--- IMPORTANT!!! IF YOU HAVE THE PREVIOUS 0.7 VERSION (not listed here), THE PREBUILT MAP DOESN'T WORK. IT CREATES A GXHAB ERROR. SO PLAY A CUSTOM GAME INSTEAD OF THE INCLUDED MAP!!! ---

Please tell me about the problems you encounter.
I hope to improve the Mod by adding new Races, Characters, Ships and Maps in the future.

Question....did you mod out the Shakturi or the Ancient Guardians?

***Edit....I have started going through all the main playable races to see if any of them would typically discover something around this particular time...one down....New Republic finds nothing at this time, will be updating....

10 seconds after I clicked "Learn more about this race" after I foundf an independent Chiss colony, the game crashed...

I'll try again.

Interesting. It could be because I deleted some Help files that referred to the Extended Mod races.
Does it happen only in the prebuilt Map or even on a Custom Game?
