    Hi all,

    I recently had a clear-out of the Creators Club liveries I had subscribed to over the years, as a lot of them were not getting used and / or I'd found better versions on TrainSimCommunity. I noticed a couple of liveries that I couldn't unsubscribe from since they'd been withdrawn from the Creators Club (which is a stupid bug, you should still be able to unsubscribe from content from within the game even if it's no longer listed online..) but discovered through a forum search that if you delete the contents of \TrainSimWorld6\Saved\PersistentDownloadDir\UGC\0 then it rebuilds the Creators Club inventory without the obsolete content, so I did that and all good so far.

    However since having my clearout, I've also reimported a bunch of TSW3 liveries using RagingLighting's excellent TSW3 Livery Manager and these are all listed in-game, but I've noticed the old TSW2LIV format liveries are not appearing when I try to spawn a train. I'm using version 1.1.0 of TSW3LM since v1.1.1 produces an error message with TSW2 liveries.

    Has anyone managed to get TSW2 liveries to appear in TSW6 or is this now a thing of the past? Is there a trick to getting them to work? I'm convinced I had TSW2 liveries working in the first few weeks of using TSW6. I'm specifically trying to get these two TGV liveries back into the game. They require LGV Med and the Livery Editor Logo Pack, both of which I have, but I have the same issue with any TSW2 liveries I've tried.

    I have both of the UGC settings enabled in Advanced Settings (for those not aware, there's a bug with these options that means instead of just stopping AI services from using user-generated content, it makes the content disappear from the game altogether until you re-enable the option. I've reported it to DTG.)

    Bumpety-bump, really would like to figure out if it's a general issue or if it's just something to do with my setup. Surely there are others out there who've tried to get TSW2 reskins into TSW6? I'm convinced I had them working on my old setup before I changed PC and reinstalled everything.

    Please read the question before replying. This post is about importing TSW2 liveries on PC using the third-party Livery Manager tool. Going by your posts on the forum you seem to be an Xbox user.

    Just bumping this thread up, surely someone here knows whether the TSW2 livery format still works in TSW6. It's a shame if not as there was some cracking content out there.

    It seems to be hit and miss :/ Unless I've mistaken some TSW3 liveries as TSW2, some work and others don't. I know some livery creators have been going back and "remastering" their older ones for TSW5+6 so hopefully they might get round to the ones you are seeking :)

    Thanks for the reply! What I've found through trial and error is that version 1.1.1 of the Livery Manager doesn't seem to support the TSW2 format at all, as far as I can tell ("object reference not set" error on every livery I've tried). I was able to get a TSW2 livery into the game using version 1.1.0, a TGV Duplex in original Atlantique livery, specifically this set : https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...duplex-in-blue-silver-white-atlantique-livery

    However this only worked after I deleted my UGCLiveries_0.sav file, created a custom livery in game to regenerate the file and then started importing from scratch. At one point I added another livery using the Livery Manager and it seems to have corrupted the liveries file, as the TGV liveries were no longer showing up. I tried to start from scratch once again and was unable to get the livery to show in game the second time around, so I'm a bit baffled. I wonder if RagingLightning is still around and might be able to help? (Maybe not on Christmas Day, mind you :D).

    Happy Christmas to all, maybe a couple of Yorkshire puds will help me to see the light.

    That's quite a bit of tinkering ;) I inadvertently bricked the game yesterday, fortunately managed to undo my error and I'll leave it at that haha.
    Merry Christmas, I hope you enjoyed the yorkies :)
