Question about mods in the game

[oPunchDrunko]

Can you download mods in the game or do you have to install the mods into the game? The reason I ask is because in the game there is a browse mods option and I wasnt sure if you could download them from there or not.

Yes, you can download them from there. Using ANY mod will disable achievements while you are playing that mod though you will get the "use a mod" achievement.

Ok, I have another question... hwo do you get the mods to work in the game? I just downloaded a mod that makes roads pay no maintenance, but I don't know how to get it to work. I went to mods and clicked set up game but I dont think it started me with that mod... any help?

Anybody?

When you browse mods, you have to activate it. Then when you select single player and choose the map you need to check the box to activate it. It took me a while too. I hope this helps.

yea basically any time you download some mods you will need to go to the tab where you enable them as well. There will be an "install mods" button on the bottom right, click it. After that just find whatever mods you want to use and enable them. Then go back, and setup game.

Also just for reference, if you download a newer version of a mod, you should delete the older version first. This may not matter with some mods, but if some files have been removed or other things then it could.
