Thanks for your guys help.. I do have all the correct .dll's.. Ive been playing CA for a long time until taking a break recently, but when i quit i was messing around with rez mods.. so I had .net framework 4.0, msvcr100.dll and msvcr100d.dll.. anyways, i got it to work! using Perx.. all I did was put flames.dll in the same folder as PerX and BAM!
