OK.  The first thing you need to check is to make sure you are playing version 1.2 of the game.

It is this version that supports the Addon maps.

The way you can check if you dont know of any other way, is to go into your instant action menu and see if a map called "Jabbas Palace" in on the list.  If it is not there, then you are not playing 1.2

Here is a link to update your game to 1.2

If that is not the issue, post again, and we will help!

If you can't find GameData folder, the problem may be far more serious then that... You may use non original version of the game, and just can't upgrade it.

It may also be possible that windows 7 is hiding his program files or something.  Basically we will need more information, but I bet we can help him out.

Do you have administrative rights on your computer?

OK, so that means that you have the 1.2 patch.

Next, are you using windows 7 ?

It is probably in Program Files (x86)/
can you see any folders in there?

Do you have a link for the game, and can you tell me what the "shortcut" properties are?

Lastly, are you good with computers, or a novice--no worries either way, but it just lets me know how much detail to go into.

One more thing you can do on your own, do a file search for "tat3.lvl"  and see what can find out about its location.

Ok so u would find Program Files 86 in your Document Libraries and as said before do u have administrative rights to your computer if so it should be accessible.

Not sure if another person giving advice will help  ;), but here where to install mod maps in detail.
First click computer/my computer on the start menu then double click the following;
Local disk (this is drive C for me) then program files x86 (if the lucasarts folder isn't here try just program files instead), next click lucasarts then click star wars battlefront then gamedata then addon.

All mod maps (up to a limit of 20ish) go in addon, there should already be a folder in here called tat3 which is Jabbas palace which you should never delete. To install a map just drag/copy from your downloads folder to the addon folder.

Note: If you have a desktop shortcut for swbf in windows 7 (and maybe vista/xp) you can right click and select 'Open file location' which will take you straight to the swbf folders.

Edit: sorry for the edit conflict didnt realise you were talking :)

I don't know if you are interested, but my favorite mod maps are the ones made by "Rends". They tend to be well thought-out and very fun.
Here is a link if you are interested: http://gametoast.com/rends/RENDS_Website/SWBF.html

Many of those maps are also at the SWBF Filefront: http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/files/Star_Wars_Battlefront;58index
(There's a lot of other cool mods there as well.)

Have fun wit your mods!  ;)
