Up and running now. Thank you to everyone who helped.
I hadn't run a game through FAF yet, so I didn't have the bin files. When I tried to start a game I mistakenly pointed to the FAF files for the supremecommander.exe, not realizing that it wanted the steam directory. Once I pointed to my steam library and started a game through FAF, it DLed the bin files and I can play through FAF now and should be able to start in offline if needed.
Sorry, I'm an idiot.
Appreciate all the help!
That link worked, thank you. I don't know why the AI-Uveso-Mod-v95.zip link in the first post sends me to an untitled and about:blank page. Still doing it, but I'm sure it's something on my end.
Thanks for the help and I'm looking forward to your AI. 
Grabbed it from the "vault" (not sure why it's called that since there is nowhere I have seen that actually calls it the vault except the forums) Tradition runs deep, young padawan?
Anyway, I tried to DL from your link, it might be broken or not updated yet? I am also generally known to be an idiot so just ignore me if your link is fine and I am too dense to figure out how to DL it.
Great info, thank you for the welcome and the tips, Uveso.

Thank you for the response. I'll give those a try.
Edit: I tried to launch from the C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin but I don't have a bin folder anywhere in that location. Odd, I saw someone else pointing to that directory, maybe there is something wrong with my install?
Edit 2: I tried to play a custom game, but it asked me to point to my FAForever directory and when I selected the C:\ProgramData\FAForever folder it said, "The specified location does not contain a valid Supreme Commander.exe and is therefore is no valid Forged Alliance installation"
My guess is one of two things.
1- My steam library is on my G: drive. Perhaps I need to move the game to the C drive and reinstall FAF?
2- I have a corrupted install of FAF and I should reinstall it
Anyone have a different idea? I don't want to spend time on my ideas if they aren't the right ones.
Thanks for any help.
New player, I have only played the first three missions in the campaign. No way am I going to jump into multiplayer yet. I wanted to take a break from the campaign and check out some of the maps made by FAF members. I found a few I liked and DLed them.
I can't figure out how to play them in skirmish mode. They aren't populating in my map list. There aren't any options I can find in mod manager, nor any selection I can find to turn on map mods.
Can the maps from FAF be played in skirmish mode and, if so, how?
Thanks for any help.
