There is actually no way to do so automatically. You have to filter manually the scenarios, based on the DLC that you have.
In the search there is a list of all the DLC and loco; you select the ones that you have, and you will get the list of the scenarios that will run on your setup.

Yes the search function in the Workshop isn't very useful. You can search for a particular route but it will list everything that uses that route no matter what other DLC are required including scenarios for other routes because whoever created the scenario has used assets from the route you're looking for. (That's not a diss BTW- at least not against scenarists who are free to use whatever assets they have to hand and I for one am grateful to them for posting the fruits of their labours.)

You might narrow it down a bit by searching for a particular location such as a station- then you are more likely to find scenarios for your chosen route but you will miss other scenarios and there's still no discrimination for available DLC. There's also the possiblility that other routes will have locations with the same name.

I'm afraid the best thing you can do is search for the route you're interested in and plough through all the results you get checking anything that looks interesting. You should only have to do that once because, when you run the same search later, you can list the results starting with the most recent and go through only the ones you haven't already seen.

If you are missing something, like a train or something, you can press F2 when the error pops up saying you're missing something. Then click on Exit and you can play the scenario

Of course, this assumes, that that train is not vital for the scenario to fuction... if these are just "sidings decorations", not much will happen, but if the missing train is important AI on which your own train is dependent at one point or another, well, good luck with that.



It is best to check the scenario requirements via RW_Tools (just google it). RW_Tools can swap missing stock, though, dose of sanity is required, so to speak, as you should probably have similarly performing rolling stock in your library (for obvious reasons).

Also, good workshop creators always list all dependencies... which means, if dependecies are not listed, the scenario is probably bad anyway and there is no need to waste your time on it.
