Squirrel's Walkthrough mods

[bosbrian]

I'm trying to follow Squirrel's walk through but I have come up against a problem with acquiring the mods he mentions. I go to the workshop, and there a hundreds of mods listed. Do I have to go through that list and search and pick each one, or is there a package of them somewhere I can download? I think I heard Squirrel mention a package somewhere, but I couldn't quite catch where he pointed to. Can anybody please put me on the right track?

One other little thing, all Squirrel's screen shots are slightly different to mine, so I suspect one of us is not using the latest version. Mine is Build 35732 64bit.

Post the link to that guide here.

Unless the mod list is in a collection, you will have to subscribe to all mods manually, one by one.

Thanks for the response. Squirrel does mention in his walkthrough that the list of mods he shows are in a collection of his. I would be interested to find out where that collection is, and would I have access to it. I've had a look at the list of mods and they all seem to be filed in folders, the titles of which mean nothing to the uninitiated. I am not inclined to trawl through those all those folders to find the mods matching Squirrel's posted mods in his walkthrough. Too much trouble, and I have much more important things that need my attention. But thanks anyway

I suspect that since his TPF2 videos are at least 2 years old, he's missing a couple of game updates :) Which means a lot of the mods used back then, are probably not available now. Cheers.

@bosbrain, it is possible to browse, and to also search collections. These may (or may not) be what you're after.

Thanks every one. What I am looking for really is a series of Youtube walkthroughs (like Squirrel's 's) that I can play along with. At the moment, it's the only way I can come to grips with this game. Even finding my way around the interface is problematical, and certainly not intuitive.

I knew I was in trouble when playing along with Squirrel tutorial series, when the map I generated per instructions was completely different from his, and the input dialogues were substantially different. Any pointers in the direction I'm looking for would be greatly appreciated.

@bosbrian,

Try GrandT or Master Hellish. I've enjoyed both. GrandT has a couple where he has saved the map to the workshop so you know you're starting at the same point.

Cheers,
Chris.

What's happened to GrandT?
He's not posted a video in 5 months.
Hope he's ok. There was some family emergencies going on I believe.
He did some great videos and yes would recommend to do/continue some of his saved games/game progress mods on here. He does not use so many mods [which is handy] and some can be disabled and won't affect the save.
He did a Squirrel map too. One of my favourites too. I'll find it and post it here:

Doing this one myself using UK rolling stock. A British sort of theme.
