| To install the mod, extract the archive into the Transport Fever 2 mod folder which is located in [[gamemanual:gamefiles#folder_locations|userdata/.../mods]]. Make sure that the mod has its own folder inside the “..\mods” folder. The folder of the mod itself should have the format ''author_modname_number'' where the author and modname do not contain special characters and the version number is 1 or higher. | To install the mod, extract the archive into the Transport Fever 2 mod folder which is located in [[gamemanual:gamefilelocations#folder_locations|userdata/.../mods]].

| While in most cases it is no problem to activate additional mods at a later point of the game, deactivating mods may have a serious impact in the integrity of the savegame. There are some indicators {{:gamemanual:mods:mod_severity_warning.png?nolink&18|}} {{:gamemanual:mods:mod_severity_critical_enabled.png?nolink&18|}} that might serve as an orientation to estimate the impact. They can be defined by the mod authors. Be aware that it's unlikely that a mod author can test all possible combinations of mods so these indicators are a good estimation but no definitive information. | While in most cases it is no problem to activate additional mods at a later point of the game, deactivating mods may have a serious impact in the integrity of the savegame.

| Mods that are marked with a red triangle {{:gamemanual:mods:mod_unavailable.png?nolink&15|}} can't be found by the game. This may happen if you want to play a foreign savegame using different mods or might be caused by some technical problems of the Steam Workshop update mechanics or a mod being removed from the Steam Workshop due to legal reasons.

| ==== Adding a Mod to an existing Savegame ==== | |
| It’s also possible to add mods to existing saved games (enable additional mods for a saved game). | |
| |
| Warning: Because some mods modify game resources in a critical way, doing this can lead to unexpected behavior or even game crashes. Nevertheless, adding mods to existing save games is needed in some cases. | |
| |
| To add a mod to an existing saved game, go to the load game screen. Select the saved game you wish to start with and click on the plus "+" sign in the mods area at the bottom of the screen. | |
