What You will need:
- Civilization VI
- Civilization VI Development Tools (LIBRARY/ Tools/)


You only need Development Tools (It's only a few hundred MB)

Getting Started
-Open Civilization VI Development Tools
-Select Mod Buddy


If you don't have Visual Studio 2013, you may be prompted with 800MB Install (do that).

Create a New File (FILE/New/Project.../)


Select an Empty Mod, and name It however you like (I'd advise to name it the same as your map)


Write something in there...


Delete this .xml file


Create a New Folder and name it Maps


Add existing item


Go to Documents\My games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Saves\WorldBuilder
and select your map file
Final steps
Open Properties of your map, right click/ properties


Go to FrontEnd Actions



Add Action, change the ID section to "AddSEAMAP" and the type to "AddWorldBuilderMap"


Go to files tab and click "ADD", then select your map (Mine is called "Global Warming" don't ask) and click OK


Add 3 Custom Properties:
  • Name - "Name"
  • Description - "Your description"
  • Group - StandardMaps

Save the Map (CTRL+SHIFT+S) and build it to check if everything is correct (CTRL+SHIFT+B)
Upload to Steam

Go to TOOLS/ Launch Steam Uploader and click Begin


Click "Upload" Button

Choose your map file from \Documents\My games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods (Its the .modinfo file)

Add your photo and the descrption for the Workshop item

Then click upload and wait a few seconds

To check if your map is uploaded corectly, go to your Steam Profile/ Workshop Items

Why are there 2 copies of my mod in my "additional content" list? One has the community content icon, while the other has the map mod icon. Aren't they one and the same? Why are they separated?

When I try to upload my scenario to steam it says it's downlading 0 out of something and then 0 out of 0 and finishes. Then when i try to play the map it crashes and says to check the log.

I checked the mod page and it only says it has a size of 0.001 MB. I think I did something wrong
