Please help, I am new to this game, if I buy it, do I need any of the dlcs? Are there better games?

you don't "need" any of the DLCs, and you certainly don't need to buy them all at once (though waiting for a good sale on the ultimate edition is the cheapest way to get them, with the bundle discount)

The DLCs very fun (in my opinion, obv.), especially if you enjoy making good looking vehicles with many details and liveries, but they're not strictly necessary.

You can use vehicles that use DLC parts/skins off the workshop too, you just can't save/edit them.

I haven't really invested any time in other sandbox vehicle building games, Trailmakers has been my go-to ever since, bc of how intuitive & fun it is to build.

Thank you very much.
PS: Thoughts on scrap mechanics?

Trail Makers is 100% better

im my opinion they both have parts where one is better than the other and scrap mechanic has a really good survival mode (while still having sandbox)
