    Hello, guys.

    I know this game is pretty old, yes, I know, but I mainly want to complete this because of the remaining trophies:

    MSB: All in Order
    CL40: Fifteen in the Forty
    SFJ: California Completionist
    SFJ: Move Any Mountain
    ECW: Situational Awareness
    ECW: Top and Tailed
    OSD: Master Class
    OSD: All in a Day's Work
    OSD: Undivided
    OSD: Renouvellement
    OSD: Building Success
    OSD: Planting Roots
    MP36PH: Bay City Bullet
    MP15DC: Light Work

    I know you are experts on this, and I bet many of you already have these trophies, so my question is: How did you get them? Did you do it offline without a DTG account, or how did you do it? Please, could you explain it with specific trophies, from shortest to longest, and how you mainly achieved them? Because I guess all of them are offline, but to be sure, I thought it best to ask you guys how you got each specific trophy. Please let me know how you did it, as I play on PlayStation.

    TSW2020 is from 2019 and TSW2 is from 2020. So I guess for a lot of people, it's almost 6 years ago they played TSW2020. As you can take the routes to newer games, there is also no need to play those routes on an older version of the game and you can't get the specific trophies of TSW2020 on newer versions of the game.

    I suspect a lot of people did forget about it or aren't trophy hunters at all. I did get trophies, but never hunt for them and I really don't know what trophies there where in TSW2020. I even forgot already what trophies I got in TSW6.

    You better can search online for how to do it, I saw there are 187 trophies for TSW2020 (including DLC): https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Train-Sim-World/achievements

    Well, thanks, but that doesn't help. Sorry, I need someone who could help me and tell me how you did it with the remaining trophies. That's all I want. I just want to complete the trophies and complete the game, so please help me with that. That's all I want.

    The list I linked to, states pretty clear what has to be done. For example, MSB: All in Order: complete all scenarios on Main-Spessart Bahn.

    It's possible that there are bugs, preventing you from getting specific archievements, but I think you have to be lucky people remembering how they did something back in the day. So I think you will have more luck with that guide + forums like this one and Reddit to find old posts about archievements and how to do it. Also youtube vids can be a help.

    The link I provided has all trophies for TSW2020 included, within the description what you need to do. The example of MSB I literally copied/pasted from there.

    I most likely did get trophies back in the day, but I never did hunt for them. I also was playing on a different platform, so can't look up what I got.

    I played TSW2020 on PS4 and now I'm playing on Xbox. But with the provided link, you can look up all trophies and what you need to do to get them.

    We are on TSW6 now. Don’t waste your time chasing past unobtainable/broken achievements/trophies. That’s coming from a trophy hunter.

    If they're bugged you can't do anything about it. It's not like dtg are going to go back to fix tsw2020 bugs at this point

    Well, if you're gonna accuse people of giving stupid answers, I wish you luck with trophies and here on the forums. You made a very good first impression......

    @lukemonster#2518

    First of all, regarding your behaviour here on the forum, it seems you haven’t learnt to be friendly.
    Because the way you’re replying, you can be sure that no one here will answer your question anymore.

    And secondly, TSW is a train simulator.
    And with this simulator, you can’t simply complete the game in its entirety, as is possible with other games.
    And TSW is a train simulator, and users play TSW because they want to drive trains.
    Collecting trophies is simply something that some users do, whilst others have absolutely no interest in it.
    After all, TSW isn’t a trophy game where the aim is to collect trophies.

    And do you really think that just because you want it now, someone here is going to write you a guide on how to get all the trophies?

    What you’re asking for is called cheating in other games, and that sort of thing isn’t possible in TSW. Either you play this simulator because you enjoy it, or you try to get all the trophies yourself because you enjoy the challenge

    My question is just and I say it now friendly that most trophies you guys didn't notice that why you maybe forgotten it is to do it offline [EDIT - Jan - Quarrelsome] Just tell me if anyone really got those trophies and could tell me come on it's not hard to understand.

    For the first one, you have to complete all scenarios on Main Spessart Bahn. If you want that, guess what: you have to complete all the scenarios on Main Spessart Bahn. It doesn't get any more complicated or easier than that.

    Lexie already linked you a site that gives detailed information on how to get basically any achievement. If you can't be bothered to read, that's entirely on you.

    Your DTG account has nothing to do with trophies. So it doesn't matter.

    I know that but if never did it before doing Internet off then play it so my question is do this trophies i listed still come and do you have one or all trophies and can you tell me how you did it without any jokes GIF or anything? I'm not in a mood for jokes right now and I just need a understanding that's all

    I know the steps, but until now, nobody on the PlayStation Era told me if you or anyone else had this issue. I need confirmation if an offline mode without internet would work, as nobody on truetrophies.com (an achievements website, by the way) has told me the steps. That website only shows how it goes if you *don't* have a bug issue; it doesn't say what to do if a trophy doesn't pop up when you've actually completed it. That's the difference; a workaround doesn't say anything about it. Read carefully. So I ask again, has anyone in this group gotten the following trophies:

    MSB: All in Order
    CL40: Fifteen in the Forty
    SFJ: California Completionist
    SFJ: Move Any Mountain
    ECW: Situational Awareness
    ECW: Top and Tailed
    OSD: Master Class
    OSD: All in a Day's Work
    OSD: Undivided
    OSD: Renouvellement
    OSD: Building Success
    OSD: Planting Roots
    MP36PH: Bay City Bullet
    MP15DC: Light Work

    that are perhaps bugged? And do you guys in the community sector, where there might be experts, know a workaround from the community? That's all I'm asking here.

    Some achievements never popped up because they were broken from the very start, others worked first but were broken by a patch. These days, it’s not even possible to 100% complete the TSW 2020 achievements on PC, despite all the tricks and mods we had / have.

    It doesn't matter whether you're offline or online, broken is broken, especially on consoles, which have never been able to benefit from various tools or mods. Even with those tools, I was only able to unlock 209 out of 222 achievements (all DLC) on PC.

    Whether you like it or not, it is simply not possible to complete 100% of the TSW 2020 achievements.

    As far as i remember none of the trophies in tsw2020 were bugged. What was bugged was the game recognizing you earned it and synching that with playstation. I’ve done all of them and I can tell you, you will need dedication to get them. First and foremost, you need to manually track the requirements of each trophy so you know when to reload a backed up save file if it doesn’t pop. Second you need to have multiple save backups done when you’re close to the trophy requirement so you have options if the trophy fails to unlock. Third play offline.

    Here’s an example what you need to do using MSB: All in Order
    If you know the trophy failed to pop, create a new profile and use it for remaining bugged trophies (you could probably use the blank account strategy if you know what you doing)
    1. Uninstall any dlcs for MSB. Reason for this is you don't know what dtg meant by “complete all” in the trophy description if it includes dlc or not.
    2. Complete all but one scenario- leave the one that can be completed the fastest.
    3. Make a manual save backup on a usb.
    4. Play the last scenario offline. When you complete it and are on the result screen, the trophy should pop. If it doesn’t, leave the game running on that result screen until it pops. I can tell you from personal experience it took 4 hours for one of the trophies to unlock. But generally it should pop within 1 hour.
    5. If this fails, reload the save game, finish the last scenario, leave it on the result screen and pray I guess. Rinse and repeat.

    Good luck. You’re gonna need it.

    So when you say use a new account for remaining trophies, like those I mentioned before, do I do it offline? I guess that will work. And because I need specific trophies, for example, what you mentioned, I guess that means do it all offline if the first one is a "yes." Then just install the required DLC for the required trophy, correct? Or what do you mean if I'm incorrect?

    Yes, playing offline allegedly helps but it’s not a guarantee that the trophy will unlock. I played offline. After you get your trophy for the route, then you can install the dlcs

    Then do them if youre that bothered. Stop farting about being argumentative when others are doing their best to help you out.
    There is no tricks or cheese ways of unlocking them. No easy way, no exploits.

    Okay, I understand. Thanks, but in other forums in the past—and I mean way back in the past—in a forum on this website, most people wrote about the offline method, didn't they? I mean, you can't say those people aren't here anymore just because they, like you, aren't bothered anymore or don't help anymore. So, instead of helping, you guys are bullying me only because this game is old and trash, like, I guess, TSW2, TSW3, TSW4, TSW5, and I guess soon TSW6. So, no wonder I'm interested in trophies, and instead of help, I get something else, which is not what I wanted. I thought if I asked in a community—by the way, not the first time—I'd get nice help, but no, I don't. That's very disappointing. But anyway, as I asked before, I ask again: isn't there a forum where people wrote about that offline help?

    No one is bullying you, stop taking it like that as you're not getting the specific answer you want. There is no offline method im aware of and ive been here on the forums for a long time.
    No one is saying 2020 is trash, no one really plays it as there's been better iterations of the sim since. Its like playing fifa 20 when 99% are playing fifa 26.
    Also, others have commented on here helping you the best they can.
    If there is a forum thread about the offline method (if it even exists) it was 5/6 years ago. It would be completely buried or even been deleted by now

    Do you really think every user on this forum knows about all the other TSW forums out there?
    Have a go at using Google – you might just find the answer to your question.
    Or just give it a go yourself, instead of expecting someone to give you step-by-step instructions for every trophy.
    And there are no hidden ways to get it any quicker.
