Installing Mods on Tiberium Wars (Win 7)

Overview

A guide to installing mods for C&C3: Tiberium Wars.

This quick guide will walk you through how to enable mods for the Steam version of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars on Windows 7.

First, you’ll need to be able to extract .rar files, so you’ll need to download an extractor, such as 7zip[www.7-zip.org], to be able to do so[www.howtogeek.com].

Next, you’ll need enable to the viewing of hidden files and folders[windows.microsoft.com] to be able to install your mods.

Next, under C:UsersYouDocumentsCommand & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, create a folder named “mods” without quotes.

Now, we need to be able to bring up the launcher. Normally, it just launches right to the game, but in order to use mods, we need the games launcher. To do this, go to your games library, and right click Tiberium Wars and select Properties, click on Set Launch Options.. and type “-ui” without quotes. and click OK.

Once you’ve downloaded your mod, you’ll need to extract the contents to the mods folder you created earlier, if it’s a .rar file. If the mod is an .exe, just choose to install it in the mods folder, and it should do the rest for you.

Now you’re going to make one last folder, but in a hidden folder, which is why we enabled them in the first place. The files that will go here, in C:UsersYouAppDataRoamingCommand & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, are simply Skirmish/MP maps. In this folder, create another named “Maps”, without quotes again. Make sure the maps are made for Tiberium Wars, and not Kanes Wrath. KW maps most likely won’t work in TW, but TW maps can work in KW, due to it being an expansion, so feel free to install those in KW as well, if you have it.

Now to actually play your installed mods, we need to bring up the launcher you set up earlier. Just click to play the game from your library, and it should come up. Now, click on Game Browser, and click “Mods”, simply select the mod you want to play, and hit launch.
