First of all, I'm not sure where to post this so I'm posting it here...

So you have brought C&C The Ultimate Collection and realized that you can't get any mods to work (because EA is full of s--t). There's a simple way to fix that...
For C&C 2, C&C 3, RA3:
1. install the fixed launchers : http://www.commandandconquer.com/forums/forum/global-command-center/the-ultimate-collection-the-first-decade/8578-fixed-launchers-for-the-ultimate-collection Never mind that link, not everyone can see it, try this one instead: http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-3-tiberium-wars/
2. Install Desura on your computer & get a Desura account (of course almost everyone who plays mods (beside me apparently) already got that part).
3. Download the mods that you want to play from Desura.
4. Play the mod(s)
For C&C General & ZH
1. Same as above.
2. Download whatever mod you want to play.
3. If mod has installer, launch it but make sure that the directory path leads to C&C Generals/ZH folder in Origin games rather than EA games or other things.
3.5. If mod does not have installer, simply put the files where they tell you to (still somewhere in the folder Origin games in C-drive, actually this way can be done without needing to install the fixed launchers. Note that this method can only accommodate one mod at a time.)
4. Play the mod(s).
For RA2:
I have no idea how to get mods to work for that. There's apparently something missing in the original files or something...

Oh and anyone who got any other tricks feel free to post them.
Thank you Very very much!!
THANKS it works your a star mate.
That actually depends on your computer...
For my Computer this is directory file path I used:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour
Hopefully this will help...
So basically you cannot play ShW if you have Origin? Ive installed correctly but when im in the gamespy it will not allow me to go passed the Gamespy log in. It wont let me online with ShW but it will with ROTR (Rise of the Reds).
Does anyone else have the solution? Im using Origin with Ultimate collection.
Thanks...
Hi there, I have the exact same problem as @Infernocannon. I have followed the steps of installing it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour and it's just loading up the game instead of the mod.
So a few specifications-
Windows 8.1
64Bit, x64 based
4GB Ram
ZH is definitely installed in that folder as I've checked everywhere. I was thinking maybe it's because Origin games installed in [Program Files (x86)] rather than in [Program fies]?
What do you guys think?
Thanks for your support
Straight after i posted that I came across this- http://www.commandandconquer.com/forums/index.php/topic/26695-fixed-launchers-for-the-ultimate-collection/
Someone has changed the launchers so that it now works for mods and maps
hope it works for everyone else like me
And if that fails there's always the good old method of simply use the no installer version and insert the files directly into the appropriate folder (thereby bypassing whatever the heck Origin is blocking)
I know it is a pretty old thread but don't know where to put it otherwise..
Somehow I'm unable to install the fixed launchers when downloaden the file from the above mentioned link (http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/).
Can someone maybe provide me with the launchers themselves instead of an installer? I'm looking for C&C generals and Zero Hour.
Thank you in advanc.e
