Hello!
So I've just "finished" my first playthrough of vanilla and loved it! But on my second play I want to try out some light mods so keep things fresh. Nothing heavy, add in some extra portraits, some graphics updates, maybe some new music.
I'm trying to follow the instructions on the main "How to Mod" thread, but whenever I edit vmparams with notepad to allocate more memory (I try raising it to 4 gigs, my computer has 8 ), I encounter a couple issues.
1. The file will only save as a separate entity instead of updating the existing vmparams since it tries to save as a .txt file. 2. If I DO try to save the file onto the old one or even into the folder it says "You don't have permission to save in this location, contact administrator to obtain permission".
I tried to save it separately and insert it into the folder, which works once I provide administrator permission, but when I take out the old unmodified vmparams and launch the game, the message pops up; "error reading vmparams". Which I assume is because it's saved as a .txt file.
I looked this up on the forums and all it said was to reinstall Java but that doesn't seem right since the old file still works fine once I replace it, I just can't edit it.
Thanks in advance for the help! I'm not especially tech-savvy but I can follow basic instructions.
