Mods?

[jfrye2007]

I was just wandering if there is any site out there that offers mods so to speak. Like offers DLC such as new rolling stock or something like that. Different kind of flatcar loads would be cool to add.

So if anyone has anything, that would be awesome

Yes, there is a good number of sites that offers free downloads of rolling stocks, routes, scenarios and game modifications (but not entire DLCs). Often the quality of downloads is par or even superior to the official DLCs, but it can be a bit stressful to explore different sites, in different languages, that often disappear or change domain, for the various items needed. If you are a web hunter/collector, it can either be fun.

In fact, the main difference with commercial DLCs is that freeware packs and objects are scattered around in the same site or in different sites, and, to have complete and playable freeware routes (for example there are a lot of free non-german european routes and rolling stocks, such as italian, french, spanish, danish, swedish, czech and so on...), you must often collect at least a dozen of different items and packs in various language sites.

The oldest and most famous (and plentiful of free items) sites are uktrainsim.com for the UK, railworksamerica.com for USA. For a long list of sites in various languages, (not all the links functioning), you can start with this page: http://www.railserve.com/Computers/Rail_Simulator/ and do further searches with google.
