Would be great to have a list of top mods. So if you could write down which mods do you have installed and what do you particularly like regarding that mod. Also if you could write where did you get that mod from. Cheers
On all the new skybox, then the bare trees (not yet updated to Unreal Engine 4.26) and then all the Route Enhancements. By far these are the first three. Sound mods are also very welcome.
Personally I love the mod for SPG and CRR which adds back in the manufacturer's plates and trademarks on all the instruments and equipment.

I have a few mods that I use routinely, mostly sound mods, but my two must haves would be CSX MP15DC in YN3 for SPG and the Dynamic Clouds visual upgrade. You can find them and read more about them here: https://mods.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world-2/c19-patches
There are some really good mods, like new cloud visuals, less signals lens flare and really every mod that changes/improves sounds of the trains.
I haven't really gotten into mods yet, as I'm not the best with figuring out how they work and I do find the thought of modifying my game a bit daunting. However I have really enjoyed the FGW mod and the logo pack for the livery designer, both by Trainsimcz. I also use the livery manager for sharing my liveries. The ability to add proper logos and to share my liveries has made me have a lot more fun with the livery designer. Nowadays I don't even neccesarily use the logos, but the mod has just made me enthousiastic enough to get into livery desiging and to learn techniques .
Does someone have bare trees mod and mod that adds sounds for wind? If so can you write something about them, so are they any good and what they actually do?
A modder named Nina did two must-have mods, one for bare trees and the other a rain/wind sound overhaul. Unfortunately, they haven't been updated to 4.26 yet.
I'd like to try the tree mod mainly because it felt like it weighed a lot less than the original trees to me. If this is true, we will all gain several fps. Of course, to check if what is written is true I should first try this mod updated to UE 4.26
Do you mean this wind/rain mod? I’m not aware of another one. https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...0-sounds/i726-new-in-cab-wind-rain-sounds-426 If so, it’s excellent, but then I’m biased. It’s 4.26 compatible too.
You made another one with increased rain/wind volume shortly after the initial release. Would be able to update/share that as well? Cheers
It would be really nice to be able to control the volume at which these sounds play back on a per train basis but you can’t. It’s a single soundset and the volume of it is determined by whoever mixes the sound for each unit.
Thanks for that. I am familiar with these mods. If there are some mods not from this site and are worth mentioning. Also which sound mod from loco sounds you like the most and find immersive and realistic? I like sound mod for the class 166 and 377, also for the class 43 hst.
