Step by step guide how to upload a map to Workshop and play it with your friends. Consider rating this guide

What You will need:

- Civilization VI
- Civilization VI Development Tools (LIBRARY/ Tools/)


You only need Development Tools (It's only a few hundred MB)

Getting Started

-Open Civilization VI Development Tools

-Select Mod Buddy

If you don't have Visual Studio 2013, you may be prompted with 800MB Install (do that).

Create a New File (FILE/New/Project.../)

Select an Empty Mod, and name It however you like (I'd advise to name it the same as your map)

Write something in there...

Delete this .xml file

Create a New Folder and name it Maps

Add existing item

Go to Documents\My games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Saves\WorldBuilder

and select your map file

Final steps

Open Properties of your map, right click/ properties

Go to FrontEnd Actions

Add Action, change the ID section to "AddSEAMAP" and the type to "AddWorldBuilderMap"

Go to files tab and click "ADD", then select your map (Mine is called "Global Warming" don't ask) and click OK

Add 3 Custom Properties:

• Name - "Name"
  
• Description - "Your description"
  
• Group - StandardMaps

Save the Map (CTRL+SHIFT+S) and build it to check if everything is correct (CTRL+SHIFT+B)

Upload to Steam

Go to TOOLS/ Launch Steam Uploader and click Begin


Click "Upload" Button

Choose your map file from \Documents\My games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods (Its the .modinfo file)

Add your photo and the descrption for the Workshop item

Then click upload and wait a few seconds

To check if your map is uploaded corectly, go to your Steam Profile/ Workshop Items

Additional info

• If your map is more complex and is written in .lua then change the type to "AddMap"
  
• Uploading to workshop is kinda bugged and doesnt indicate when it finished
  
• My map: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1837559013
  
• Make sure to disable other mods you don't need when creating a map (suggested by a user)

Why are there 2 copies of my mod in my "additional content" list? One has the community content icon, while the other has the map mod icon. Aren't they one and the same? Why are they separated?

When I try to upload my scenario to steam it says it's downlading 0 out of something and then 0 out of 0 and finishes. Then when i try to play the map it crashes and says to check the log.

!!! Make sure to disable you mods that you don't want required before/when building your map guys

I believe it is impossible to upload a custom map onto the workshop if you are running on a Linux operating system, since Visual Studio is required to do so.
