To sum it up, this is my first time DMing in FGU, so I picked up all the free resources I could muster from the forge. Including the 'community maps' from the FGU stream.... However when I attempt to load them up... This is what shows up.

Other module packs and maps I've found seem to work perfectly fine; it's just the Saturday Stream Map packs 1 & 2 that do this; and I..am not familiar enough to understand why, or what I need to do to correct them.

The Saturday Stream map packs require the assets from the Art Pack subscription.

Welcome to the FG forums.

The red square with the ? means that you don't have an art asset that is required for that map.

The Saturday Stream Maps 2 menions: "This map module requires ownership of several official Fantasy Grounds art and map packs or the art subscription to use properly."

Basically, you'll need the FG art subscription to be able to fully use the Saturday maps modules. Details on the Art subscription can be found here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/home/FGUArtSub.php

Oooh, that makes a lot of sense! Sorry; I'm in that state of 'information overload', adhd + new programs I don't understand means I'm missing lots of simple stuff x.x;

Appreciate the patience!

Start simple :)
I know its tempting to grab everything that's free, but really that makes it harder rather than easier. Just use the bare minimum, then add as you need things and get comfortable with the minimum.
