Question about adding mods to any CM game

[RobCom308]

Hey y'all, I have kind of a noob/MOD question

 I'm confused with adding mods, so I need to just get some clarification.

Situation,

I have a few mods I want to add to Fortress Italy, and I am looking at the way I added some very cool mods to my Normandy version of CM and it seems a bit different than what the instructions say to do with these Fortress Italy mods, the instructions say to put them into \Combat Mission Fortress Italy/Z

But,  in my Normandy version of CM I have installed I have the Z folder set-up like this:  \Combat Mission - Battle for Normandy\Data\Z, and the mods for Normandy work perfectly. 

So question, Is it okay to add the Z folder into the Data folder in Fortress Italy as well? OR does it have to be in the main directory?

thanks for any help and guidance.

 

 

PS: Also, I just looked at my CMSF2 install (which has been installed there for a few years now, one of my FAVORITE CM games) and I put my mods into /Data/z_mods folder....and they work too?

In my CMFI install, the Z folder is in the data folder as for all other games. You can put your mods safely into data\z, it will work nicely.

Awesome, thank you for letting me know. 

 I'm, going to give them a try today!!

With titles after CMBN you can put them in the data folder or in the documents folder under the mods sub folder.

I put the version specific mods in the game install data folder and the rest in the documents mods folder.

Both locations work though.
