Learn how to install and use the GIANTS Editor in Supermarket Simulator to modify game maps, import custom buildings, and sculpt terrain for an enhanced gameplay experience.
The GIANTS Editor allows you to modify the game world in Supermarket Simulator, including installing custom buildings and features that aren't pre-packaged. While the editor is powerful and can be used to create new things with 3D design knowledge, this guide focuses on basic usage for installing mods.
- 1Install GIANTS Editor: Find it on your game disk or download it from the GIANTS website.
- 2Backup Maps: Navigate to the 'maps' folder in your Farming Sim installation directory and create a backup copy. This is crucial in case of corruption.
- 3Open Map: Launch the GIANTS Editor. Go to File -> Open... and select 'Map01.i3D' from your 'maps' folder.
- 4Navigate the Editor: The left side will list entries, and the game world will be visible. Use Alt + Left Mouse Button to look around, and Alt + Right Mouse Button to zoom.
- 5Select and Manipulate Objects: Click on objects in the game world to select them. A wireframe and a manipulation gizmo (arrows for moving, circles for rotating on X, Y, Z axes) will appear. Use the Delete key to remove objects.
- 6Terrain Editing: Click the terrain edit mode button (green hill with white arrows). Use the left mouse button to raise terrain and the right mouse button to lower it.
- 7Importing New Objects: Unpack the mod archive. Copy the contents (usually a single folder) into the 'maps/models/buildings' folder. In the editor, go to File -> Import... and select the .i3D file from the imported folder. Find the imported object's name in the left-side list, select it, press Ctrl+F to locate it in the world, and then move it into place.
- 8Save and Test: Save your changes in the editor and exit. Load your game save to see the modifications. If the map is corrupted, restore your backup.
- Always back up your 'maps' folder before making significant changes.
- Refer to mod descriptions or readme files for specific installation instructions.
- For advanced usage or if you encounter issues, consult online tutorials and communities for Farming Sim (LS) and GIANTS Editor.
