MODS / STOPPED VEHICLES

Vehicles stopped after using Realistic Environment Pro?

Desktop saves using Realistic Environment Pro, formerly Just More Weather, by Lorenz0FF. Author instructions checked October 22, 2026; not our own playtest or a confirmed diagnosis of every paused vehicle.

Clear REP's effects before removing it from the save

If this save uses Realistic Environment Pro, the author instructs players to load it with the Scenery preset, Service hours Off and Day length Off, let it run for one minute and save before removing the mod. Disabling it first can leave vehicles stopped by its snow, ice or operating hours. Preserve the original save and use a separate recovery copy.

Recover a save that still has REP enabled

  1. Check the affected save's active mods. In Load Game, open the save card's details and mod list. Confirm Realistic Environment Pro, also known as Just More Weather, is active. Its listing ID is 6415745. If it is absent and was never used, this is not the diagnosis for your save; use the failure checks below.
  2. Preserve a copy before changing settings. Keep a known working save if available, following the local backup steps. Do not overwrite it while testing.
  3. Open REP's gear button in that mod list. Select Scenery, turn Service hours Off and turn Day length Off. Keep REP enabled for this recovery load. These are three separate parts of the author's removal procedure.
  4. Load the game, run it for one minute and save under a new name. The simulation must be running during this step. Note what happens to an affected vehicle and its line; merely closing the settings menu does not complete the procedure.
  5. Only then remove REP if that is your goal. Exit normally, open the recovered save's mod list, remove REP and load that copy. Keep the original backup until you have checked the network. This procedure concerns saved simulation state; it is not a new shader-installation tutorial.

Check whether this is weather or service hours

The author describes two different reasons for vehicles to stop. Severe snow or ice can interrupt traffic; service hours can hold a line or vehicle outside its configured operating period. Open Weather and Time and its weather bulletin, then compare the warning and service period with the affected vehicles. A train in a depot alone does not establish which rule acted.

If you want to retain the mod, its settings allow individual effects to be disabled instead. Scenery leaves weather visual rather than applying its simulation effects. Keep a record of the original settings so you can compare the same save deliberately.

Using Timetables at the same time?

REP's author permits that combination only with Service hours Off: otherwise both mods can hold the same vehicles. REP controls when a service runs, while Timetables controls station waits and departure slots. After changing REP's setting, inspect the Timetables stop rule separately; an intentional timetable wait is not proof that recovery failed.

How to tell the recovery worked

The previously affected vehicles can serve their assigned lines again in the recovered copy, and they continue after a normal save and reload. Check several stops and a further trip, including vehicles that returned to depots. A successful file load or a cleared snow texture is not the same as restored service.

If the vehicles still do not move

  • REP was already removed: preserve the current file and use a backup that still has it active for the author's sequence. The source does not establish that reinstalling into every altered save will restore its state.
  • Only one vehicle is stuck: inspect its actual state and line assignment. A broken route, signal wait or full-load rule needs its own diagnosis.
  • The same network stops again: record the game and mod versions, other scheduling/weather mods, active settings and the state before it stops. Keep the pre-change save for the author; no universal mod-conflict repair is established here.
  • You are playing on console: this REP listing is for Windows, Linux and macOS. Do not apply its desktop instructions to an unrelated console symptom.
