What do you mean by "they don't work"? In my experience some will have errors, and in rare circumstances they cause crashes and desyncs. But generally they do what they claim. Have you enabled them in the mod selection screen before the match?

"They do not work" as in: about half the mods I have tried caused these errors. I wondered, if a lot of them are just outdated or something. Also, A lot of the player made maps don't show up in skirmish mode. I can play 4 of the about 20 maps I have downloaded in skirmish mode. The rest is only usable in sandbox mode, which doesn't make for all that exiting gameplay.

I am very new to Forts, so this could all be normal, and I just don't know. But I wanted to ask

The errors don't necessarily prevent the mods from working, they are typically just issues that the mod authors haven't resolved.

Maps need AI scripted for them to appear in skirmish, and most map makers don't do this step. Look for maps with the 'Skirmish' tag.

Thank you!
