I mean, that's kinda up to you ... If you feel like mods will add to your enjoyment, then yes.

Again, up to you. The route enhancement packs are very good as are some of the sound mods. I also enjoy the mods that substitute stock in the timetable mode.

It can happen. Personally I've not had any such issues, but the mods are easily removed if they're causing trouble.

3. What do you mean with route enhancement packs?

"Scenarios" section?

No. They're under Patches. They do different things depending on the route. Correct ballast colour, add correct logo's to things such as vending machines etc, some add extra announcements at stations and so on. Nothing major, but they add to the immersion.

You can use them and most of them are great, but they may have some performance impact and few of the published mods do not work properly. They may cause game crashes or other weord behaviour. So it is good idea to install them one by one and make sure to play the game in betwee to see if everything stays stablile.

You also should be aware that mods may interfere, if you install different mods for the same route one may deactivate the other one. So mods are awesome, but be modest and do not think to install them all. In some cases DTG will fix the issue for which a mod is intended. In that case you can better uninstall the mod.

In the TSW2 Starters Guide you can find some information on using mods, there is a lot to tell about this topic. Get this guide here for free:
