Can custom made real earth maps be used with mods such as Sevo, Realism, Slower Tech?

Can mods like Sevo, Realism, and Slower Tech use custom maps like the huge earth 180x87 created by switches or aeric67 if all have been been updated to patch version 1.61? Or do such mods require their own maps?

typically you can use mods with whatever map you want. Very rarely mods may require customized maps, in which case they usually come with their own maps or map scripts. I believe all the ones you mentioned work with whatever map you want.

Using a premade map with a mod that adds new resources/luxuries will probably not have these resources/luxuries on the map, so you might want to add them manually yourself to make the most of a mod like that.

If the mod also contain new/changed units/buildings that require those resources/luxuries then you would definetly have to add those resources/luxuries yourself - or the new units/buildings would not be available on any premade map that wasn't made with those resources/luxuries in mind.

Although I don't recall having seen this yet then it is quite possible that modders will add new terrains and features in future mods - these will also not be present on any premade maps not made with these terrains/features in mind.
