Help with mods
I need help with mods in OTTD. I downloaded 3 mods: American trains, dutch stations, and dutch stations add-on. However, I followed instructions on a You tube video but it still doesn't work. I would appreciate if someone helps me.
Re: Help with mods
The steps to install a NewGRF varies based on how you downloaded it. If you downloaded it from the in-game content downloader then it comes ready installed. All that you have to do is go to NewGRF settings before you start a game and activate them. The NewGRFs will now be applied to your next new game.
If you have downloaded them manually, then you'll need to put the NewGRF in :C/Users/[username]/Documents/OpenTTD/newgrf. Then, restart the game (or in NewGRF settings click "Rescan files) then in NewGRF settings you activate them and then again, they'll be in active in your next new game.

Re: Help with mods
you need to
- activate the NewGRFs in the NewGRF settings from the main menu
- start a new game (loading an existing savegame or a scenario will not apply the new settings, but use the ones stored in the savegame)

And, just another to throw in, just in case the instructions didn't mention it:
If you manually downloaded, and the files are not in an unpacked folder or a .tar file, then you will need to extract them from the archive file you downloaded.
