As much as I would like to recommend this game, I just can't. The singleplayer is great, but online is a whole different animal. The grind for progression is incredibly slow and compounded by the ever more expensive new content that is released. And the content may be free, but the price tags included in game make the shark card microtransactions seem predatory.
Will you run into modders online? Almost undoubtedly.
Are they all terrible? Anecdotally, no, but the bad ones are gonna stand out a lot more than the others.
It won't take long to see the appeal of having someone mod money into your bank account. Put simply, the only time you should consider buying this game (in terms of the online experience) is if it's on sale and you have a few friends also interested. At least it's a nice driving simulator.
