Hello, lately i've been constantly re-uploading CTs that were originally uploaded on the defunct website RealTycoon3, and i feel like people will wonder how to install these, due to the lack of "READ-ME" txts in the ZIPs ive provided.

Once you've downloaded the CTs, you'll be met with 3 folders. One is named "Style-Themed", the other "TrackedRides", and the other "TrackedRideCars".

Each folder contains one, two or more folders.

The contents of "Style-Themed" go on:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Atari/RollerCoasterTycoon 3/Style/Themed.

or if you have downloaded the game via Steam:

C:/ProgramFiles (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/RollerCoasterTycoon 3 Complete Edition/Style/Themed.

 

The contents of "TrackedRides" go on:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Atari/RollerCoasterTycoon 3/tracks/TrackedRides

or if you have downloaded the game via Steam:

C:/ProgramFiles (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/RollerCoasterTycoon 3 Complete Edition/tracks/TrackedRides.

 

And finally, the contents of "TrackedRideCars" go on:

 

C:/Program Files (x86)/Atari/RollerCoasterTycoon 3/Cars/TrackedRideCars

or if you have downloaded the game via Steam:

C:/ProgramFiles (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/RollerCoasterTycoon 3 Complete Edition/Cars/TrackedRideCars.

 

Alright, hope this helps!

Since RCT3 can be installed anywhere, you should make the path to the install directory generic in your information, such as this:

---

The contents of "Style-Themed" go on:

{RCT3 Install Directory}\Style\Themed

---

(also note, the slashes are backslashes, not forward slashes)

For example, my RCT3 is installed on "D:\Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum\" This way, regardless of where the person has installed their copy of RCT3, the instructions still apply.

Hope this helps! :^)

Thanks for posting this! We have something similar written here but I've moved this topic to our Tutorials & Articles section so everyone can see this as well.

there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really

I have recently started testing out CT coasters, after returning to this game from planet coaster, but I can't get the supports to appear when I place the rides. I have put the folder in the style/themed folder, but I can't get the supports to appear for any of the CTs I have downloaded. Does anyone know what could be causing this/how to fix it?

From what I know, most of the supports require you to have the custom scenery installed that the supports were made from. What specific CTR are you downloading? It might be possible that some of the CS was accidentally omitted from that particular file.

Something, sometime, eventually...

I have tried with the following Cts:

Real tycoon 3's Flying Dutchman Ct

Real tycoon 3's I305 Ct

Real tycoon 3's Millenium Force Ct

Real tycoon 3's The Beast Ct

RTCK1 Magnum XL-200 Ct

The supports won't appear automatically, you have manually to place them ingame, after building the coaster, from the Walls and buildings or the Scenery lists...

Thank you! I don't know how I didn't notice those in there, but I believe I have found all of the supports.
