Play Your Custom Maps

Play Your Custom Maps

This mod adds a new ruleset in single and multiplayer to play your customized maps. The ruleset button is located in the upper right corner of the Advanced Game Settings menu as shown.

Check out my WorldBuilder template mod to make WorldBuilder less click-intensive.

-----Change custom map to yours-----

Your saved WorldBuilder map will appear in Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's CivilizationVI/Saves/WorldBuilder/YOURMAPHERE.Civ6Map

Copy the map and place it in the directory Program Files or Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/289070/876864462/Maps with the file name CustomMap.Civ6Map.

After selecting a custom map ruleset during game setup, the custom map will appear in the map type drop-down list.

-----Add more maps-----

I commented the instructions in the CustomMap.modinfo file. The CustomMap.modinfo file is located in the same directory as the Maps folder. Open it with notepad.

The directions are simple. Copy and paste the new <Map id></Map> section and change Name, Description and File to the appropriate values. Make sure the new map is in the same Maps folder as the default CustomMap.Civ6Map. You then need to scroll down to the <Files></Files> section of modinfo and add the new <File></File> to the list. This line should look exactly like the <File></File> in the new Map section you just created.

-----Enable WORLDBUILDER -----

Open this file with Notepad: Documents/My Games/Sid Meier’s Civilization VI/AppOptions.txt

The 7th option at the bottom is EnableWorldBuilder, set it to 1.

Also set the option EnableTuner to 1, which is located in the middle of the file. save.

Start Civilization VI

Go to the Extras menu

In the upper right corner is the WorldBuilder button

If WorldBuilder does not appear, follow these steps to use another method:

Download file VI development tools:

Click the "Library" button in Steam and select the tool in the drop-down list.

Right-click and install Sid Meier's Civilization VI Development Tools.

Once downloaded, right click and play the game.

Click FireTuner.

Start Civilization VI.

Go to the "Additional content" screen.

Select Mods from the empty drop-down menu in the upper left corner of the FireTuner console. Mods will work if there are two.

Type OnWorldBuilder() in the black text box at the bottom of the screen and press Enter.

Your Civilization VI screen should now show the new map loading the map. You're in WorldBuilder, congratulations. You set up the map like a normal map and then launch the Game. It will automatically start in WorldBuilder mode.

If FireTuner doesn't have any options in the drop-down menu, or this doesn't work, FireTuner is not connected to the Civ VI. Make sure the development tools and Civilization VI are on the same hard drive and enableTuner is 1.

This mod adds a new Ruleset in Single Player and Multiplayer to play your custom made maps. The ruleset button is in the upper right corner of the Advanced game setup menu as indicated in the picture.

The custom map will appear in the map type dropdown after selecting the Custom Map ruleset during game setup.

-----TO ADD MORE MAPS-----

I have commented out instructions in the CustomMap.modinfo file. The CustomMap.modinfo file is in the same directory as the Maps folder. Open it with Notepad.

The directions are fairly simple. Copy and paste a new <Map id></Map> section and change the Name, Description, and File to the appropriate values. Ensure your new map is in the same Maps folder as the default CustomMap.Civ6Map. Then you need to scroll do …
