I had this mod under sound fixes for months not knowing why it wasnt working and confused and then I re read this and realised why it didnt work. I put it over sound fixes and it works now. Thanks!

@RainyGosling0 - do you maybe have conflicting mods? its working fine for me as well.

@RainyGosling0
Are you sure it's this? Working fine for me.

causing game to crash

@DeltaTango529 - ultimately its something I would like, as being an avid railfan myself too, one-unit-wonder for all trains is a little odd. I am just not really sure how to go about it, especially with the the way the trains are setup ingame. Maybe one day, but for now I am not sure. Appreciate your kind words though, glad this mod is working out well. :)

As a railfan on the side, I have really enjoyed this mod - thanks for your continued work.
Have you considered having 2 locomotives at the head end of most trains, as that is more typical in the U.S.? Perhaps the fundamental game structure doesn't allow that.
Either way, thanks again!

Aye mate! Always a pleasure to chat with you! First of all, that's fantastic to hear! The mod working as intended should always be priority one! Super stoked to see what else you can add onto it to make it even better! I'll keep my hopes up for DPU's making an appearance some day! xP

I do hope finding a work around for those alternative liveries won't be too much of a headache for ya whenever you sit down to do it! Keep up the phenomenal work! ^^

OH! And thank you SO for adding me to the special thanks list!
Always a pleasure to help out!! <3 <3

@Jerry521 - Good to see you again! Glad the update is working for the most part. As for the liveries, I ended up just axe-ing those for now because 1.53 broke the textures and left hideous pink squares all over the trains that I couldn't figure out how to fix. I plan to add them into a separate mod eventually, but right now I feel its best if I polish this mod first.

Hey FE! Thanks for getting an update out for this amazing mod!!

Everything works like a charm, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting the AC44 & SD40 to spawn in with the more 'realistic' liveries, I took out all my mods besides this one to see if there could be a conflict somehow, but to no avail :C

@miker107 - thank you so much! I'm glad people like my work, and moreso that its made your experience more enjoyable. Appreciate the kind words, take care too :)

@DreezyMoto - this mod modifies the traffic rules spawn file, that could be your issue. It might be overritting what traffic density does. Ill look into making a separate version without this file (though a lot of the core features would be missing) but for now its kinda one or the other. My apologies.

@Utonian - yeah lol, thats how the game words it. Ill update the description to say that, thanks.

Is "4 for UT railrunner" referring to the FrontRunner??

I don't like sitting waiting for trains in real life, but I have to say this mod has made the game more immersive and enjoyable. The default trains in the game I find to be bland and boring, however, the added variety of cars look fantastic, and I don't mind sitting and watching them go by. Excellent work on this mod, Thanks for creating it. I have ignored this mod since I started ATS 7 months ago, but glad I finally took the plunge. Take care of yourself my friend.

@DreezyMoto
Try unsubscribing and resubscribing to force Steam to download the update, that:
"-updated traffic rules spawn file, should fix crashing"

not sure if its an incompatibility or just this mod, but having this mod enabled crashed my game on load.
Here's my Mod List:
Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather
Real Life Fuel Prices
Realistic Truck Physics Mod
Sineptorros Cargo pack

Thanks for the update, Femboy Enthusiast

updates out! sorry that took so long. Please report any issues and I will try and fix them in the future on a more, faster note.

@Dragon32 - thank you very much. Really do appreciate all the kind words.

on a more general community note, Ive gotten a splash of motivation to work on the mod. Ill see if I can iron out some of the issues before I leave for this weekend friday night. Ill try to update this before friday night, but if not, expect something next week if all goes to plan.

@Femboy Enthusiast
Keep on hanging in there. Creating mods is supposed to be enjoyable, if it isn't go and find that where you can. And I hope you can.

@satan.ipod @KiingBranden - thank you both!

@danoporto7 - unsure. I dont use that mod as Im personally not a fan of it. I dont thiiiink there should be conflicts? But if there is, there's not a whole lot I can do. Sorry

Does it make any conflicts with the realistic companies gas stations and billboards mod?
I seen it changes the textures too.

agreed with KiingBranden. Your not alone with this. Take care

Hey stranger, your mental health is what's important. We understand, you're more important then some train mod. Hope you feel better soon, and can find in your heart what makes you happy again. Love your mod, but we wouldn't have it w/o you. God bless

Hello - should give an update here. Apologies that this mod isn't working right now :( Currently trying to find the time and motivation to fix it, but life and my mental health have both taken a nose dive for me so Its hard to do so. Ill try and figure something out this week, my sincerest apologies to you all.

So sad..Dont work anymore with real traffic Density. I try all the combinaison possible and the only way to avoid crash is to remove train length. Hope you find a way to use both. Those two mod are the best best for realism on my opinion.

Not using this mod at the moment. Real Traffic Density won't load with this since the latest 1.55 hotfix. Just FYI.

I'm definitely seeing some texture errors and some red text however none of it is game breaking. Just something to take a look at when you're free @Femboy Enthusiast. (I have the correct mods/ load order as well)

I can supply some log.txt when i'm free but there definitely some NON game breaking issues. So urgency isn't high for updating.

Thanks for reading Femboy!

@dustinking875 - can you tell me what the gamelog/crashreport/console errors say? I just tested this mod, and its working fine for me. First train I saw was a long one. Ill take a look through the mod and see if I can find anything though.

Well due to the recent update 1.55.2.2s this mod no longer works train lengths have return to ATS default length and the game won't load with the mod active it causes it to crash.

@FindFloppies - what do said errors say?

Getting some errors in the console, and over time will build to a crash. Unloaded this mod, and it all stopped. Just FYI. (1.55)

@lj450r - this mod should work on the latest version unless otherwise stated.

I love this mod, does it work on 1.55? I'm still on 1.54 but going to update next week.

@Luke - look man. Im not an expert modder. I barely have any modding knowledge and the steps it took me to get to the point of this functioning mod was well over a year, all learned by myself. I do not possess the knowledge of how to properly backdate my mods to support older versions. Supporting older versions is useless to me anyway, as I do not play on older versions of the game. I rather not waste my time doing something that serves 0 purpose to me. In the end, I originally only made this mod for myself (as well as the ETS2 counterpart) as I felt the trains could use a little more polishing ingame. The only reason I threw this on the workshop is because I felt I could offer my work to the ATS community something back, after many years of using tons of lovely mods. That being said, this mod will be developed in my interest. Suggestions are welcome obviously and Im happy to take them but certain things like this I dont see a reason to do. Sorry.

(ty btw Dragon32, much appreciated)

@Luke
Maybe dial down the passive aggressive? They said they can't support old versions, which with demands of real life is understandable.

If I want to continue using an old version of a game I back-up my Workshop mods and, if a game supports it, load those old versions manually instead of the Workshop ones.

@Femboy Enthusiast - What do you mean? Any reputable mod creator can provide previous versions of the mod that are compatible with previous versions of the game.

@Great_Prophet_Zarquon - this mod is meant to be used on the latest version of ATS which is now 1.55. I am sorry that it is crashing for you but I cannot provide support for older versions of the game.

I really like this mod. Unfortunately, it crashes ATS 1.49 when activated. Bummer, because I really like to watch the varieties of trains at stops and on the road! :)

@Dragon32 - I see I see, Thank you

As a more general note for the community, this mod is in no way abandoned. I am currently finishing school and dont really have the energy to sit down and work out all the problems facing this mod currently. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can pump some bug fixes out :)

@Femboy Enthusiast
CTD = Crash To Desktop

Not sure how that happened, I played for a few hours last night and the mod, apart from the pink textures, was working fine.

@FLYBOY4222 - CTD?

not sure what is going on, but this mod causes CTD. I turned on each mod one at a time to narrow it down as i'm running 12 mods. This is the one that does it :(

@NASTYxRyder - the hell? can I get like pictures or videos of this?

Just want to let you know that my friend and I are using your mod, and the train appears like 3 feet above the roads at random points pretty far from a set of train tracks.

@D3cod3d - weird. Im looking into it, this mod needs a bit of a restructure currently.

So I am pretty sure I have used this mod before, but I just tried to use it again and it is crashing the game every time I try and load it up. Not sure what is going on, the mods that I have already in I have had in for years now. Just curious if anyone had this same issue, and what they had to do to get it to work. Thank You.

@the_mighty_butt_pir8 - I thought I updated those. weird, guess Ill have to do more mass replacing and see whats up

@Boscorelli - cool, thanks for letting me know. will look into it as stated

@Boscorelli, ya we noticed some odd textures and missing pink textures too, and while we do use the other mods you mentioned, it does it alone by itself too. Seems the issue is this mod is using files from an older DEF file (looks to be 1.51/1.53) and needs to be updated for 1.54 as it looks like SCS has changed around the default trains a little bit.
