[p]We’re excited to present a new Modding Support Update! [/p][p][/p][h2]🛠️ What’s New for Modding?[/h2][p]
- A Mods folder is now automatically created when launching the game for the first time – making mod installation easier than ever.
- All detected mods are now listed in the log.txt for better transparency.
- If a level fails to load, you’ll now see a clear error message via popup instead of falling endlessly through the void.
- Mods can no longer overwrite each other – mod conflicts like this should be a thing of the past.

The newest Modding SDK can be found here: \[GitHub](https://github.com/SimuverseInteractive/SubwaySim2-ModdingSDK)

Heads-up:
If your mods include custom classes (e.g. Signals, DataTables, etc.), you may need to make some small adjustments in Blueprints to ensure they work correctly after this update. More details can be found on Discord.
