Please Make on for the Lord Nelsons

Very useful, thank you. With the inconsistent appearance on Steam of VM's mods, their continued presence cannot be assumed and so I've been through all my saved games and systematically removed them. I've also removed all the VM mods to which I was subscribed and made a mental note never to do so again.

Absolutely disgraceful what VM did. Thanks a lot for putting this up to save our games. You really are a life saver.

VM Has started uploading mods again, not sure how that will turn out.

Killakanz I beg can u make some british EMUs Or DMUs becuase your the best modder for british trains i absolutly beg u

Maybe someone that doesn't steal can remake BR Class 0X shunters and other British Rail stuff?

@Col0Korn if you did that you would be an absolute Legend!

Well crap, I guess my UK save will have to be put on hold untill some new british locomotives can fill the void that this has left.

@Nick B.[US] you need to deactive the missing mods and activate this to replace them. The J70 is included in this.
I will be looking into other older versions of the 450 when I have time. I've not included any cars in this as the cars were not any of VM's mods.

@Col0Kom Yeah that would be good as I need to get those out of my game as well

I also have the LNER Class J70 if you did not do that one already, that is one that was also removed.

I am having problems with it. Do all you have to do is enable it and it will work? It will not let me start my save.

I might be able to get a work-around for the SGD3S1GN cars which are as follows -

1961 Jaguar E-Type
1995 Audi RS2
1995 BMW E34 M5
1998 VW Golf Mk3 GTi
2004 Audi S4
2009 Seat Ibiza Cupra
SGD CarPark

These were removed from the workshop weeks earlier and do not have a dummy mod currently available, though I still have my backup of these mods and could try to rig up some replacement files similar to what killakanz and JK have done here. It would probably involve using models with the same filenames, but just pointing back to vanilla traffic assets.

Does this sound like an issue I should focus on? Are many people still having issues with these car assets? I hate the idea of the community losing so much time and effort at no fault to the users. Thank you to everyone who's helping with this dummy mod!

The car mods are from someone else according to CoolKorn. They were lifted from one of the Forza games. Only one has been activated (1961) in my game. I removed the others but it's too late. Unless a work-around can be figured out I've lost my save game :(

Why did He/She Bring down all of there mods?

Any chance you could add v1.1 of the Class 450?

Yeah, same problem with Car mods; 2009 Seat Ibiza Cupra (*1284760811_1)

Well there are some car mods that still say file missing and break my savegame if you could please add those it would be much appreciated

im not getting missing file errors now but my game just closes itself after loading about 25%

@Northern Fail - update done

@KIERAN PSYV The mods contained stolen models, which is why VM deleted them from Steam and ran away when it was discovered...

@Northern Fail hmm... That's odd... You seem to have been running an older version of the 450 mod... I'll add those and update... gimme a sec...

i wonder why the mods dont exist anymore they where great mods most of all my save games depended on them

https://i.imgur.com/NuYbxi1.png this is what im getting with all of vm's mods deacvtivated and the dummy mod active

@Col0Korn I havn't played for two months and as the cars also had red triangles as well, and had to be removed, I just assumed they were all from Velvet :P

If you can provide any help to save my game that would be much appreciated :)

Thank you!

Thanks for this m8 - you saved hours of gameplay!

@killakanz, Thank you for taking the time to help, my saved game is playable again, Top Work.

@Captain DiaBeetus the Jaguar is from another author who had their work taken down in recent weeks due to those models having been ripped from Forza Motorsport 4.

If you need any help with that mod's dummy files, I'd be glad to assist!

To anyone who wants to prevent any problems in the future - BACK UP YOUR MOD FOLDER!!
It is located at /Steam/steamapps/workshop/446800/content
Copy & Paste the folders to a safe place so you will never lose them if a mod gets taken off the workshop!

The Signs are fixed now. The only issue I have left is a jaguar 1961 e type.mdl that's still affected. As it's a world asset my guess is I have a broken game? Is it possible to turn all of them into ugly pink blocks until they deactivate? I'm hoping there's a cut-off point for the car appearing in the world. If not, bye-bye my big american map game :(

@Tremoniax37, you need to de-activate the missing mods (written in red) and activate this mod.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Uncountable hours of gameplay would otherwise have been lost.

As others have said, game developers and Steam really should provide a recovery mechanism when this sort of thing happens in games that enable such significant use of the workshop.

Ok. when i activate this mod i my crashed savegame i cant even load it :/

This has now been updated to include the station signs mod, thanks entirely to JK who kindly offered to help.

This should resolve the remaining issues people were having since the mods were deleted yesterday.

One thing is that it is no longer possible to download a mod after the account has been deleted. What is more serious is that the mod is deleted from MY COMPUTER without my permission. This is illegal, and Steam need to stop this practice or else they will run into trouble like other companies have before.

HI. I need your mod very much, because station signs breakes my game :/ Keep up the great work :)

thank you very much!

Hi guys. Like I said in the description, I didn't think I had all of them covered, and I didn't. I missed out the station signs mod and his class 156 reskins. I didn't have these myself, but I'm working with other modders to get dummy versions of these patched into this mod this evening. I'll update soon. Thanks for your patience.

Always fun when you load up and the game doesn't display the continue option! "Oh no, not again..."

Thankfully I only had one of these mods installed, but hadn't got to its activation year.

You do good work, Killakanz.

Thank for helping, I've subscribed to your mod but still am unable to load my saved game, here is a list of the mods I had installed, (BR Class1, 2, 3, 444, 03 (Network Southeast), 156 Repaints, 450 1.1, 455 1.1,), LNER Class J70 and Station Signs, any help would be great, Thanks again..

Thanks for you work but i have the same problem. I can not load a save game. He say to me the Mod is not installed. I can not uncheck the mod. there are no longer in my list. :-(

@koolkop You'll have to enable this mod and disable the deleted mods (the ones with a red ! beside them) when you load your save. Affected mods include Station Signs and the British Rail Class 0X Series.

I enabled the mod but still cannot load my savegame, can someone help please?

V's been stealing meshes apparently. At least he should've talked to us first...

Maybe he would not have permission to use those models, he would not do them, or he decided to charge for his services XD
Anyway, I've always had problems with their models and their textures always came back in reverse

Station Signs and a world-spawned '61 Jaguar are the ones causing my game to fail to load :(Silly way to handle things and a shame it seems he was stealing assets. Poor show Velevet!

It's not just sad, it's incredibly inconsiderate.

What happened? I didn't have any of his mods installed, but it's sad when someone decides to leave the Workshop this way, often without thinking about the consequences for the users of the mods.

Thank you, rescued my long played save, Great Work :)

Great job killakanz, worked stright away. There is actually one I know of that I didnt have - "Station Signs". Don't know if your fix addresses this one too.
