No, you are not. Both options are essentially a modding tools. Car editor allows you to create, or edit car parts layout (change suspendion, engines, seats, etc.). Workshop uploader is a tool to upload your mods to the Steam Workshop.

But what can the players who download the modified car do with it? I would celebrate it really abnormally hard if you had a tool with which you can create your own orders.

Players, who download a mod car would do exacly the same with it, as with the stock cars. The mod car will automatically appear in the orders, auctions, barns, junkyard. The game will also automatically damage it, according to the place, where you obtain it. Then you can take order, or buy it and repair it.
There is no tool for order creation. Damage to cars is generated by the game semi-randomly.
You definitely should try some mods from the workshop section, if you haven't yet done so.

So I can set up a car in the car editor so that everything really has to be renewed and then upload it to the workshop uploader and when a player downloads the vehicle it is displayed in an order? So I ask myself why wasn't a tool created right away to create orders and then share them with the community? That would be a lot better in my opinion.

No. You can not use the Car Editor to change state of the car parts, as I already mentioned above. The Car Editor HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RELATION to altering a car state, or altering the in-game orders.

The Car Editor can be used to create A NEW VERSION OF A CAR. For example, you can take an existing FWD car with I4 engine and turn it into an AWD car with V8 engine. Also change default seats, steering wheel and name of the car.
Or, you can create a completely new car body in a 3rd party 3D modeling software, import it into the game and use the Car Editor to add a proper engine, suspension and other functional parts, that are available in the game, to that new body.

And then you can use the Workshop Uploader tool to upload this NEW TYPE of a car to the Steam for everyone to play with it.

The orders are generated AUTOMATICALLY by the game. There is no way to create your own orders, or modify existing.
In the same way cars at the auctions, barns and jusnkyard are placed by the game automatically. Their state is also generated by the game automatically.

Yes. So I can change the car to my liking in the car editor, and then make it available to other players. And when the player then installs my car, then this car will appear exactly as I changed it at some point as an order, barn find, auction or in the junkyard, right?

Yes. You can also download other people creations by subscribing to their mods in the Steam Workshop. Those cars will appear in your game. You can also open them in the Car Editor tto see how they look and what is inside of them, before you will get to them in the game.

Thank you for the information. I would like to ask you something, and you also think that the commission payments for the orders are massively rejected compared to the 18? Besides, I think that's really huge! In the 9th campaign job with the GMC, you have to replace 8 sides of defective parts. That was so much work, I click on the field where you can see the remuneration I think I can easily collect 30k now, but then there is only 7.4k so something really has to change again. I get a job for another campaign that is only half as much work and over half more than for the 9th campaign job. So something went completely wrong in the development in my opinion ^^

You can modify existing orders, as far as what level any vehicle will appear, in the Other tab. You can set the rarity of a vehicle by modifying the Unique mod parameter in the Logic tab, which will dictate how often it shows up in any given location. This will also increase a vehicle's value. A vehicle with a Unique modifier of 1.5 will spawn more frequently than one with a value at 2.5, but it will be of less monetary value in-game. You can do all this in the config files, as well.

You can manipulate the original configs too, without creating a new car. If you mess up, verifying file integrity will reset the original car to its original state. It won't affect cars you've created, since your configs, if properly numbered, aren't a part of the game's original files. I'd suggest always creating new configs, even if you're altering existing configs to tidy them up. And pretty much all of them need tidying up.

I am not sure. I didn't notice a really big difference between 18 and 21. In the CMS 2018, I had an impression, that a player was paid for any job, done to a car. I mean, even if your order was to change filters and oil, but you would fix all car to 100% state, you were paid for everything, you fixed. But, may be, I am wrong.
In the CMS2021 it definitely does not work this way. There is a certain budget for each order, based on what is adked to be fixed. Everything, you do above that isn't paid.
