Many players have reported issues with scenarios failing to load, often due to putting the files in the wrong directory. A common piece of advice from the community is that if you create a map using the tools, you may need to from the folder it saved to (e.g., \Documents\Anno 1404 Venedig\Scenarios ) into a folder where the game actually looks for it (e.g., \Documents\ANNO 1404 Venice\Scenarios ).
