How to move the scenario map file into your maps folder
To play the scenario, you'll need to move the map from the mod's folder to your map folder.

First, in Windows you need to press the 'WIN Key - e' key combination on your keyboard to open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).

Using Explorer, navigate to the mod's folder, usually located some place like:

C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\SMAN's World at War Scenario - The War to End All Wars (v 1)

XXXX is the folder name that you installed the game in.


Inside the mod's folder, there is a 'Maps' folder - click on this.


Inside the 'Maps' folder, you should see the map file, called:

WAW Scenario - War to End All Wars.Civ5Map


The full path is:

C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\SMAN's World at War Scenario - The War to End All Wars (v 1)\MAPS\WAW Scenario - War to End All Wars.Civ5Map


Finally, you need to copy this file and place it in the game's 'Maps' folder, usually located some place like this:

C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Maps


Once the map file is moved, you should be able to find it using the instructions provided in the slides.

@JH - there is a 'MAPS' folder in the mod's folder, this is where the scenario's map can be found. This is the file you'll need to move to the game's 'Maps' folder to be able to find it in game.

If the 'Maps' folder isn't there, you didn't get the full mod downloaded - probably better to delete it, then try to force a fresh download next time you enter the 'Mods' area of the game.

It worked but now it crashes during the loading screen, when I try to start a game.

@Def:

Did you clear the game cache? The scenario is large, complex, and touches lots and lots of game databases. Sometimes you have to try a time or two to get it to behave:

I cannot even find the mods folder, are you sure that's how you get this mod to work?

The game's "MOD" folder is located at:

C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS


This mod is in a folder under that folder. The mod's scenario map is in a folder called "Maps" underneath this mod's folder, under the game's mod folder. The navigation path looks something like this ("graphically"):

C:Users
-----> XXXX (which will be the name of the account you installed the game in)
--------------> MODS
--------------------------> SMAN's World at War Scenario - The War to End All Wars (v 2)
--------------------------------------> Maps

You're looking for a file called, 'WAW Scenario - War to End All Wars.Civ5Map'


That's the specific file you need to move (copy) to the game's map folder, located at:

C:\Users\XXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Maps

@ProKen - how is it not working? Slides 8 - 17 show how to set up and start the mod. Have you used those steps? Or is there a different issue?

@ProKen - Any idea how to get it to work on Mac?

@Sclazinh - I'm sorry, I really don't. I don't have a Mac, so have no way of modding for it. I have seen several posts on Civfanatics.com on things you can try on a Mac to get a mod to work.


Might try to google something like:

Civ5 make mod work on mac site:civfanatics.com


And look at some of the posts to see if they help.

I downloaded the mod with all of the maps except for the one I need to transfer.

@DF77 - there's only one map with this mod, in the "MAPS" subfolder under the mod's main folder. This is the map that needs to be copied from MAPS to the game's "Maps" folder, under the main Civ5 folder.
