Can't Cook Map?

I've taken to making my own maps, so I thought I'd just take GoatVille to learn the basics a bit quicker and add a few explosives in the "gasstationroof" (you might know where that came from...), or garage. I saved the file under a different name, closed the editor, and pressed start on the Unreal Frontend.
It does start, but nothing seems to happen. I could leave it all day and nothing would happen.
And ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
P.S. I am still new to this, so a little explaining might be needed.

You're going to have to cook the map and you will have to set it up as a mod to get the game to load it. See this guide...

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=232365177

See the "Creating a Map" section and follow that including creating a folder: ..\GoatSimulator\GoatGame\Mods\MyMods\%modname%\ (replace "%modname%" with the name of your mod).

And then see the "Adding the Map or Mutator to the game" section at the bottom of that guide.

You don't need to actually publish it to the Workshop until you are ready to release it to the public (or to friends for play testing).

Pressing start still doesn't work, but cooking the game does.
I wish the mod name text box looked a bit more visually appealing so I noticed it a bit sooner, however...

However, the error I get now is:
[COMMANDLET 'GoatGame.exe CookPackages -platform=PC GoatVille_2.0.goat MyMod -dlcname=GoatVille_2.0 -multilanguagecook=INT' STARTED IN ''] Jan 7, 9:17 PM

From what I can make out, this has something to do with the base level MyMod. What and where is that exactly?

"Failed to find package MYMOD"

Is your map named MYMOD?

Show me a screenshot of what you have typed into the cooker before you click "Start".

Also, the "Scripts to Compile" section should be EMPTY if you are making a map mod.

The good news...
Game is cooked and finished.

The báááád news (excuse the pun):
Can't seem to play it in-game on play tab.
Tried uploading to workshop, but game will not appear in workshop.
