Hi there, I'm new to PC. Have been an xbox players for years but now I have a gaming laptop I thought I'd give TSW a shot on here. I have managed to install some mods for Edinburgh to Glasgow already which I am loving but can anyone tell me where you should place the mods in your files for base game lighting enhancements (e.g: TSW 6 | Lighting & Visual Quality Enhancement vTSW6.1 https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...cement-v-tsw61#item-installation-instructions) Thanks Nathan.
First you need to install the God Mode mod if you haven't already done so (you should anyway, it's invaluable just for Zoomier Zoom alone). Then download the zip of your choice for your laptop's specs, extract the files and do what it says in the first line on that page you linked: "Installation is described in the accompanying manual".
Most mods just go in this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 6\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC Or wherever your steam folder is installed. If a particular mod has a different install method, it should be explained in the description. Hope this helps!
Can also go here, C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld6\Saved\UserContent This folder will allow the game option to turn them off and on.. I tend to use the documents folder as to separate what's a mod and what's not
Yes, I've taken to using 'UserContent' for mods and leaving DLC in 'DLC'; that way it's easier to curate addons into groups and move them in and out en masse to rule out clashes (sometimes, mods interact in a way one wouldn't expect).
This is the "clean" way to do it and makes your life easier in case you need to turn mods off to test if a bug is caused by mods or not.
If you are using Xbox PC version which you may well be given it is play anywhere then I believe the location would be somewhere like C:\Games\Xbox\Train Sim World- 6\Content\TS2Prototype\Content\Paks depending on your install location. Also some mods go in the DLC folder for the specific route like C:\Games\Xbox\Birmingham Crewe\Content\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC
My advice... Put them in the following path: MyDocuments/MyGames/TrainSimWorld6/Saved/UserContent (maybe you have to create this folder "UserContent". It seperates mods from the DLC folder and its easy to remove them or re-name the folder and started the game without mods.
