Mods + Experimental?

[Creamincorn101]

Howdy! I've been enjoying the game and figured I'd opt in to experimental. Been playing for a couple weeks on experimental with minimal issues, so I figured I'd look into some mods since my only real complaint was a couple track structure designs and the lack of buildings in places that clearly should have them. However, even following the instructions from Railloader I cannot seem to get the game to launch with any mod at all. Does anyone have any advise on it or should I just play vanilla and be happy? I assume experimental is the problem? Or am I just a dummy?
Thank you!

Best to check discord and nexus for the downloads
Not everything works with the experimental version and not always mentioned.
There are also updates to find for the experimental ver on discord . Takes a bit of fiddling whjat works and what not. Keep in mind you'll need UMM and/or railloader plus some basic files to get the others to work

I have the same problem. Can't go back to the "vanilla" version though now that they added the waypoint feature...

Right? oh well, I'll wait a bit and see if any mods get updated I guess. Thanks buds!

Richard,

That is really encouraging! Are you using Railloader? If so, did you get it on the Railloader & Friends site or did you have to find some special version for the experimental branch on Discord?

Thank you in advance for any help!

On Discord check the pinned topics in modding-discussion.

That is what I did. I got the Railloader and the mods from Discord

I'm French, and, on the site "http://www.railsim-fr.com", i've put a zip with my Mods working in the Experimental build (more than 80 Mods).
https://www.railsim-fr.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14018-railroader/&page=2
Look at the post on November, 8th, for the zip "Mes_Mods_2024.6.2_v4.zip".
You have to register on this site to download the zip.
PS : This zip doesn't include "C_L_B.ASSETS01", too big ...

Sorry if this feels like a dumb question but, what mods are you using?

I'm still playing I'm the main branch with most of the locomotive mods as well as some track mods. I've been tempted to go to the experimental branch but have been hesitant on what mods will and won't work.

I have no experience with locomotive mods and use railloader mods only. I use the track mod of Alina, west bryson industries and the special mods of Zamu and some others. I have a screenshot of my mods but dont know how to insert it.
