TSW Mod Manager 2.2.1

With the TSW Mod Manager you can do the following things:

  • Activate and deactivate mods quickly (especially useful for mods that aren't compatible with each other or for Legacy Repaints).
  • Get notified about new updates for your installed mods or when some of your mods aren't compatible with the current game version anymore.
  • Browse a mod database to find new mods you could like.
  • Download and install mods and updates directly within the Mod Manager.
  • Install mods directly from your downloads directory, even from within zip archives.
  • Manage your mods with mod collections. This way you can enable many mods that belong together at once or make sure you don't have conflicting repaints activated.
  • The Mod Manager automatically downloads metadata for your installed mods (when they are available). With the metadata you can easily filter and search for the mods to quicker find what you searched for.

The patch notes for previous version as well as an alternative download link are available at https://tsw-mod-manager.de/.

The TSW Mod Manager updates itself automatically as soon as an update is available.

En règle générale, les mods/skins et autres, sont enregistré sous le nom de leurs auteurs et rarement sous le nom d'un site (sauf exception !!!)
Après pour de plus amples informations mieux vaut contacter le webmaster de ce site ou le/la/les modérateurs(trices) de la section [utilitaire] de ce site

If I already have a bunch of mods installed, will there be any problems installing this over them?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 19 Jun 2021

No not at all. This won’t affect your installed mods. You can always install mods the classic way with the Mod Manager installed.

very nice tool
is it possible to add these 2 functions
search/filter to find mods faster instead of having go through all the mods
an mod updater or an exclamation that there is a newer version for the mod

What 2 functions do you mean?

A mod updater isn’t planned for now as that’s a pretty big topic but I have planned to add a notice for outdated mods already.

its saying its harmful to my PC will i get a virus from it?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 4 Aug 2021

Yeah that’s because you would have to „sign“ an exe for Windows Defender / Antivirus programs. Every unsigned executable is suspicious for most of them. Sadly signing costs a big amount of money.
So you would have to trust me (and all the other users who downloaded it) on that. But if you want to make sure, better don’t install it.

This tool is awesome, thanks for keeping it up to date. It makes managing mods (both those it knows about and those it doesn't) really simple.

Great tool. Hoping to see Rush Hour route compatability soon. Any chance it'll be possible to filter by last updated sometime soon in the database search?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 14 Sept 2021

What do you mean by Rush Hour route compatibility?

I can put sort by last updated on my list and investigate whether that’s a good idea.

Can I like get .tsw2liv files actually working without it deleting my liveries from this thing?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 19 Sept 2021

The .tsw2liv files should have nothing to do with the Mod Manager.

Hello, where should I install the mods in the Epic Games version?

  • TrainSimWorld2/TS2Prototype/Content/Paks (all the .pak are already here)
  • TrainSimWorld2/TS2Prototype/Content/DLC (this folder does not exist)

Thanks.

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 25 Sept 2021

You have to create the DLC folder yourself when you don’t have any DLC.

Avatar of oeTZi1974
oeTZi1974 25 Sept 2021

Thanks but I don't know if it was very clear ^^

I have a Content/Paks folder with the 3 included DLC (base game) + a few other DLCs (that I bought later).

My question was: should I install the mods in the same existing Content/Paks folder or in a new Content/DLC folder.

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 25 Sept 2021

That's strange, I would still install them in the DLC folder though.

I am using the most up-to date version of this mod, and no mods for american content are showing. Is this pulling from a subset of the TSC database, or the entire database?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 21 Nov 2021

Sadly the database has to be completely manually maintained for the moment. The coverage for German mods is close to 100 %, UK stuff is somewhere in the middle and there is almost no American stuff. That’s too much for me to maintain alone currently.

Hi, I have a problem in that I moved my trains sim world directory after installation of this mod. I have tried deleting and reinstalling this mod but it no longer gives me the option to select a location for my tsw2 folder, (only the dlc directory). Is there any way to force the program to allow the input of a new tsw2 directory please? Thank you

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 27 Nov 2021

You should still have the option „Change DLC Directory“ on the programs main screen after you open it.

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 22 Mar 2022

No, you definitely don’t need to use it. It’s just a utility that helps with mods. But if you downloaded it the next step is just installing the exe.

Does this mod manager need to be installed within the top-level game folder or same drive as the game? I kind of answered my own "Q" but TSW2 and TSW3 are installed to different directories, how is this handled?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 13 Mar 2023

You can install it wherever you want, you can freely set TSWs path in the Mod Manager.

Good morning. It seems incredible but after reading hours I can't find the path to install mods for TWS2 in Epic Games.
Thank you

TrainSimWorld2/TS2Prototype/Content/DLC (this folder does not exist)
I understand that I have to create the DLC folder but within the game's installation rai, right? not in My Documents?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 17 Mar 2023

Yeah it would be in the installation directory, not in Documents. I sadly also don't know the exact path but it would need to be next to the Paks folder if that exists for you.

Also just be aware that some mods just don't work with Epic.

Good evening, Are you planning / working on more updates to the Mod manager?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 14 Apr 2023

I have some smaller ideas but nothing tangible at the moment, no. Anything specific you would like to see?

Avatar of OleDre
OleDre 14 Apr 2023

Just wondering if you were, nothing that I would want, the change downloads directory button brings you to the DLC directory, or is that the way it's designed to work? the mods I downloaded I have are in a folder I made "TSW 2 & 3 Mods" For what it does and how well, it is a great help it sniffed out the mods I have in no time at all. Maybe not put updated mods in the trash but in to the deactivated folder? This way if one chooses to revert "and they can" for any reason it's easier to get back in to the game.

Windows 11 22621.1992 (26/06/2023) silently kills this program. No events or protection history events anywhere but it won't allow either its setup or the program itself to run. If I can figure out what kills it I will reply to this.

Does this work for TSW4?

Avatar of TaskPlays
TaskPlays 4 Oct 2023

It works basically the same as in TSW 3, yes. But be aware that most mods currently don't work. I didn't label them all as "incompatible" as DTG is planning to release fixes that would make most of the mods work again without having to change anything.
