How to Get Mods in Main Campaign?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but how do I get mods to function in the main Gettysburg scenarios?

I have several mods (alternate toolbar, enhanced map icons, things like that) installed and activated in my game. They work perfectly in Sandbox and User Scenarios, but they don't appear in the main Gettysburg scenarios.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You did nothing wrong, mods do not work with the built-in scenarios by design. You can play them with mods, by downloading the SDK which includes all the historic scenarios. Place those in your Mods folder and you can enjoy them with your other mods.

Thanks!

But how exactly do I do this?

Do I simply copy all the individual scenario directories into "mods," or do I need to create an alternative file structure inside a mod (so that these scenarios come to replace the originals), or what?

Where should the new scenarios appear? In user scens?

New to all this. Thanks again for the help!

To play modded stock scenarios do this:

-In the Mods folder make a folder called whatever, or Scenarios Stock.
-In that folder make a new folder called Scenarios.
-Copy/Paste desired stock scenarios in this inner Scenarios folder. Rename those scenarios you opted, just add a letter if you want, but they must have a different name.

Then follow the standard mod activation procedures, the scenarios will be found in the User Scenarios section.
