Transport Fever 2: How to Install, Enable and Save a Mod Preset

Install through the integrated browser

The September 23, 2024 Autumn Update released the integrated mod system. This guide follows the official PC game manual’s browser and activation controls. [1]

Use the in-game browser to install a mod from mod.io. The manual recommends mod.io across PC and console editions, while Steam Workshop is another source for the Steam PC edition. [2]

Steps

1. Find and install the chosen mod through the in-game browser. [2]

Open the correct mod settings

Installation and activation are separate actions. Use SETTINGS when creating a new game; for a saved game, choose SELECT OPTIONS in its load dialog and open MODS. Both routes expose the installed-mod list. [2]

Steps

1. For an existing save, open SELECT OPTIONS and choose MODS before loading it. [2]

Enable the mod and its dependencies

The Enabled column uses gray for inactive and green for active. Enable the desired entry, then make sure its required dependencies are enabled as well. [2]

Use the mod’s own description for dependency, order and incompatibility requirements. The manual does not prescribe one universal order for all mods. [2]

Steps

1. Click the gray Enabled toggle to activate the mod. [2]
2. Activate every dependency identified by the mod author. [2]

Adjust the ordered list and commit the settings

The index beside an activated mod controls its position. Single arrows move it one place; double arrows move it to the beginning or end. Change the order when the author’s dependency instructions require it. [2]

Steps

1. Select the index and use the arrows to arrange the required order. [2]
2. Press SAVE at the bottom right to commit the mod settings. [2]

Save the preset and choose LOAD or APPEND later

The top-left SAVE stores the active ordered list as a preset in userdata. It serves a different purpose from committing the current game’s settings. [2]

LOAD replaces the current active list with the preset. [2]

APPEND keeps the current selection and adds the preset’s entries that are not already active. [2]

Steps

1. Open LOAD, choose the saved preset and select the replacement or append behavior appropriate to the intended list. [2]
