If you have the Origin version, create a shortcut to to your CNC3.EXE, right-click on it, open Properties, then add "-UI" (minus quotes) to the end of the Target line. Launching mods is the easy part, after one bit of setup. And just to be extra confusing, standalone custom maps need to go in an entirely different location, although similarly each should have their own directory.Ĭ:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\MapsĬ:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\Mapsįortunately you can simplify installing maps by using the CNC Labs Collective's map manager tool here, but it still helps to know the location. Each mod's files should be in its own sub-folder, too. You may need to create the respective mods folders. Mods for the main game and expansion respectively should be placed in the following directories, assuming you're using Windows Vista or newer:Ĭ:\Users\%username%\Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\ModsĬ:\Users\%username%\Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\Mods If you're going to be playing a lot of mods, it might help to make bookmarks to these.

For starters, if you have the Origin version of C&C 3, you'll want to get Bibber's C&C Ultimate Collection Launchers, which fix some mod compatibility issues with the Origin re-release. Thankfully this is a one-time process, but we'll be dedicating a larger-than-usual chunk of this column to getting mods and maps running and where to find them.
Here's my mammoth (tank) guide to getting into C&C 3 in 2019, and a few notable mod picks.Ĭompared to a some older games, Command & Conquer 3 is relatively easy to get mods installed for and running, but only after an irritating amount of setup.
Cut to present day and there's still a steady trickle of mod releases and unofficial matchmaking servers keeping its community alive. Despite being produced in just one year, EA LA even managed to cram in solid mod support. Fast-paced strategy, three campaigns (and one expansion) of cornball FMV, respectably balanced multiplayer and it's good-looking even today. The series might have fizzled out awkwardly, but I'll always have a place in my heart for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Every other Monday, Dominic gives you a reason to dust off one of your old games and dive into its mods with Modder Superior.
