SC3 series has more depth, detail and overall polish than ever. Because of modders like you, they can get away with passable graphics. But the mods add so much to the game.

Thank you and others for continuing to support SC3+

Congrats Ironx, the style on unit imaged counters is simply awesome and very professional. Any plans to get a similar update on your mods for SC WW2 WIE and SC WAW in a future?

No immediate plans to update the previous mods, but I won't rule it out.

Status: offline 		1) If you navigate to the following folder, you should see a 'Mods' subfolder after you launch the game. If it isn't there you'll just need to run the game at least once or create it manually.

C:\Users\<uesrname>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWI

2) After that you just need to download, extract and place the mod files in this folder.

3) Then launch the game, go to SETTINGS from within the MAIN MENU screen, click on MODS, and then turn on the desired mod by ticking off the box to the right of the listed mod.

Hope this helps!
Hubert

Status: offline 		Love your mods. Is there a way to keep playing with the game unit sprites while using the rest of your mod? Just not a nato symbol fan. I can do this in WIE and WAW. Thanks!
