Possible method to have Convos New Sides on stock Maps?

Is there a method to going about getting the Convo's new sides into the stock maps? I know this will break my online compatibility, but I honestly don't care. I have ended up secluding myself to the maps only included in the pack, solely for using the units.

If there is a way, could someone list the instructions on going about doing this? Or if there is already a sidemod that exists that does this, could someone link me to it?

The way you would do this would be the same as making any sides mod. You would have to be familiar with either editing your stock mission.lvl by adding in new units to stock maps, or you would have to be familiar with creating an era mod, which does the same minus breaking compatibility with anything else.

There is not a sides mod that does this; there are, however, several different sides mods available that add on extra units to stock maps. Some of them can be found as GT featured mods, while others are available on SWBFFiles and here in our Released maps/mods forum.

Could you please point me in the right direction into getting started (i.e tutorials), as I have no experience with making my own side mods or sides mods :( . Thanks for the quick reply.
