How to play with Victoria I musics?

Hi guys!

I do own both games, but I prefer good old Vicky I musics. Is there a way to play with them? Is that sort of modding complicated? Thanks!

You just have to copy & paste them into your Vicky II music folder.

If you want to change the main theme (that plays during startup) just rename "thecoronation_titletheme.mp3" into something else and give the desired new track this name.

So I followed the instructions and I get the Vic 1 theme music when starting vanilla. When I try say New Nations mod, the theme music reverts to the Vic 2 theme music, while in game past the start screen it is the Vic 1 music. Is there any reason why this is happening?

Yet there's a bug which means that only a few of the relevant MP3s are played if you do that. Your best bet is opening another program such as WMP and playing the Vicky I soundtrack through that.

You need to clear out your cache folder of V2. Just delete everything in ..\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Victoria II\, however if you want to keep your saves, make sure you back up the "saves" folder from the root directory and all the mod subdirectories under that folder, otherwise they will be deleted as well.

Also ensure the mod is not overwriting your custom music files. You can check this by going into the mod's directory (..\Victoria 2\mod\<mod_name>\music\) and checking its music folder, if it has one.
