Get my hands on both only-German addons, but they seemed not recognize my game version and abort installation. Any help?

See my post here:
https://www.gog.com/forum/the_settlers_series/settlers_iv_mission_disc_2_the_new_world

Essentially you install both the German Gold edition (or standard edition with both mission CDs) and then copy the S4/Main/Campaign from the CD and from the installation into the GOG installation, but you do NOT overwrite anything in the GOG folder (only copy new files, but keep all GOG files).

The existing Gold Edition installation doesn't even need to be German, I tried it myself on the English one and it worked. The only problem is that The New World and Community Pack content remains in German, and was only translated to English/French for the History Edition post-launch.

Thanks! As I had only the German version, I assumed the addons can only be officially installed to a German version. Good that you tested it!


In case you wonder why I "necroed" the thread. Looking for the issue brought up this thread but not the other one, so I thought for internet users it is convenient to have the solution when they search for it at the first result instead of having to delve deep into the forum while not finding anything on a search engine.
