MODS not showing in custom games

[kckyle]

hi guys my friend is having trouble playing a mod we got off from the online section, while it loaded on my pc it did not load on his, we install it, enabled it, went to single player, then custom game, and the list is just empty. did we miss a step somewhere?

For most mods, you don't go to custom game to play with them. Just choose set up a game, start playing, and it should work (theoretically). If it's a scenario, there is probably a map included with the mod. Choose that map and a button that says 'load scenario' should appear below the map on the setup game screen. Be warned, though, many mods in the online browser were either broken by a patch or never worked to begin with. There is no check to see if a mod is working when you upload and no way to flag broken mods.
