Best Skate 3 custom maps (2026) and how to install

The Skate 3 custom maps and DLC packs that load on the PC recomp, which ones stall, where to get them and how to install them on the recomp, RPCS3, a modded PS3 and in the browser.

Downloads and links

This list comes from the Skate 3 Level Loader catalog: 43 known packs with 134 maps, each load-tested on the Skate 3 Recomp. “Boots” means the map loaded. “Stalls” means it hung on load in automatic mode. Some of those load fine through the game’s own menus (manual mode). The full status list is on /maps/.

skatemods doesn’t host these packs unless their authors uploaded them. Get them from the authors or the Discords linked above.

Maps that boot

San Vanelona spots

Eighteen spots from skate 2’s San Vanelona, ported into Skate 3: the Art Gallery, Cathedral, City Hall, DIY Park, Mega Park, Monument, PJ Mansion, Slappys, Zen Plaza and more. Every one boots. The skate 2 city port started in 2023 with tuukkas, GHFear, wispp and others (video). The Skate 3 history covers it.

Meebs and Brassy ports

A work-in-progress collection of park ports. Three boot:

  • Auburn by Lock
  • Boneyard by Simpomode
  • Momentum 5.0 by DH13

Back SOV (Validus), Industrial Zone (Jean Olive) and The Alley (Ovanny) stall in automatic mode.

EA’s own DLC

If you own the Xbox 360 DLC, these all boot: Danny Way’s Mega Compound, Maloof Money Cup NYC, the San Van Party Pack (Anti-Gravity Park) and After Dark (the Sanatorium). On the Recomp, put your own DLC package files in a dlc folder (how).

Kenney Park

An original park built from Kenney’s CC0 Mini Skate kit, and the first map uploaded to skatemods. Because it’s an original, it’s available converted for every platform, and it plays in the browser in Clean Room Skate Online with no game files.

GTA V Mega Brainrot

A meme map that boots. It’s in the catalog as gtarot.

Worth trying, untested

These are in the catalog but haven’t been load-tested yet:

  • Skate It locations: Barcelona, London, Paris, Rio, San Francisco, Shanghai, the Spillway and more
  • Venice Beach (standalone)
  • Jump City and The Pit, long jump lines with checkpoints
  • Ruthless Hill, Riverside DH, Blackwood DH and other downhill runs

Known to stall

The Sleepen Map Archive (Bay Creek, Harrisburgh, The Animal House, The Old Warehouse, X-Games Osaka 2025), Olay Holes, Rooftop Alley, Weining Lu and DHS by DH13 hang in automatic mode. Try manual mode before giving up on them.

Install

  • Recomp (PC, Steam Deck, Mac): import the pack with the Level Loader and click the map.
  • RPCS3: copy the map into your game’s USRDIR as its readme says (Skate 3 on RPCS3).
  • PS3-only map on the Recomp: convert it first.
  • Real PS3: a console on HEN or custom firmware takes custom maps the same way as RPCS3. A stock console can’t load them. See the real hardware FAQ.
  • Browser: maps converted to .skate play in Clean Room Skate Online and the Rust engine.

Skate 3 maps in skate. (2025)

Port Carverton itself is now a map for EA’s newer game through ReSkate. Skate 3 Improved adds the DLC maps, and the ReSkate maps list has the rest.

Made a map?

Upload it. Once it’s reviewed, skatemods converts it automatically (PS3 maps to recomp and .skate), and it shows up on /maps/ and in Clean Room Skate Online.
