TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (2025)

A pack that contains all my camera mods in a single mod, TSW 4/5 only.
Aim is to have a realistic driver's viewpoint. Some other small fixes like light adjustments are included too.

Known Issues

Only one minor issue: The scenario "Down The Line" on Great Western Expressway will not remove the driver NPC from the driver's seat as you take over - it is rooted in the way the scenario is set up. This NPC is placed in a non-standard way in this very old scenario, and it seems it is tied to fixed coordinates. If you want to play this one, disable the mod.

Compatibility update based on today's DTG fixes

removed

  • TSG BR 218, as the raised driver cam is now official

changed

  • Class 323 and 158: for those preferring the default camera view, I've made it optional. Switch to the old cams by pressing RightArrow. Additionally, I raised the 323 cam further to reflect the real position better, which now gives optimal view through the wiper field.

Update v1.50 (2024-06-25)
Full compatibility update for DTG's UK and DE core updates, all files revisited and replaced with current versions. Hence the version jump as many DLC were affected. This should only need another update in case DTG push out another fix.

Niddertalbahn BR 628: placed the camera more to the right and a bit up to reflect the real driver's viewpoint. The speedo is in the horizontal center of view as well as the SiFa pedal. It's just the seat is not correctly placed in the model file.

Update v1.32 (2023-12-15)
complete overhaul of the BRO425 lights:

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (52)

JBViper 5 Oct 2023

The BR 110 is finally playable in rain and snow :) Thank you for this mod.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (53)

Spikee1975 6 Oct 2023

Thanks :) The Brake key is hidden behind the E-brake handle, but that's a price I'm willing to pay, just move the brake handle a little to reach it :D

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (54)

JBViper 6 Oct 2023

Yes, excellent compromise. You can also activate it while standing, so no gameplay concerns.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (55)

Spikee1975 6 Oct 2023

Exactly :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (56)

FOURPACKBECKER 8 Oct 2023

Awesome mod, any plans to do the ES44c4 from Cajon? The camera sits high and the wipers are small, so when it rains you cant really see infront of you as the wipers dont clear that much.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (57)

Spikee1975 8 Oct 2023

I'm on it.

There you go. :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (58)

FOURPACKBECKER 12 Oct 2023

your the best!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (59)

oct197 8 Oct 2023

Have you made the es44 in horseshoe cab view higher? if not I think the view needs to be higher as it seems too low. thanks

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (60)

Spikee1975 9 Oct 2023

No, if you raise it you'll have a bad visibility in rain or snow. I've actually moved it back a little, but the position is still a bit higher than in my modded Cajon Pass ES44C4. Normally the driver sits about in the middle of the side windows.
It's probably the high control stand and the towered displays in HSC's ES44 that leads to the impression you're too low.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (61)

oct197 12 Oct 2023

That makes sense. Thanks for the info

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (62)

OleDre 16 Oct 2023

Embrace the 13 :) And thank you for making these mods for us all to enjoy and have a better gaming experience.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (63)

Spikee1975 18 Oct 2023

Haha, was just making sure nothing goes wrong there.

Thanks for appreciating!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (64)

OleDre 20 Oct 2023

Y'all are very welcome, I Fear Not The 13, it's been in my life and my family's life for many years. As well as here again after checking the updates here, just this one mod showed me three updates, with a total of 16 and after clicking each one, I ended up with :)
TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (65)
More updates to go through.
I couldn't add an image to ya reply.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (66)

Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023

:) Next update is in the pipeline, adding the Class 150 and 158.

I think it will become a bit more quiet then, got all cameras that annoyed me adjusted now.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (67)

OleDre 20 Oct 2023

I Look forward to it, do you have the 187? some tried to give a few touch-ups, but it still looks like ya are sitting on the desk, that is if it can be changed. I tried searching for any that may have given it a once over. https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/search?query=br+187

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (68)

Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023

Nope don't have that one as it is apparently not worth the money.

If it's on sale I might get it for the layers, and certainly include it here if I don't like the default cam.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (69)

OleDre 21 Oct 2023

Yeah, I saw and heard that sometime after getting it. all is good though, figured I would ask.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (70)

Spikee1975 31 Oct 2023

It will be included in the upcoming patch, got it for €7 in a bundle.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (71)

Hand92250 20 Oct 2023

Good job !

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (72)

Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023

Thanks!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (73)

Myron 20 Oct 2023

is the ICE 3 viewpoint based on the enhancement pack by Nagiphaaa or a bit different? and if I understood it right, if I rename this to be sorted above the enhancement pack, the ICE 3 from KWG will then use the viewport of your mod instead of the EP because it uses that first?

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (74)

Spikee1975 20 Oct 2023

I don't know that EP, all my cameras are based on the latest TSW4 default files, and my own preferences. (Lots of editing, starting the game, closing again, editing, starting the game... :D )

You'll have to try renaming the files yourself, maybe put a "!" in front of the filename of my mod and see if it supersedes your other mod then.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (75)

Myron 21 Oct 2023

yeah already did that and it worked fine but thanks still. :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (76)

Spikee1975 31 Oct 2023

Update for compatibility with today's TSW core and DLC update is in the works, please standby

Mod should then work with TSW3 too, though I cannot test that at the moment.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (77)

Spikee1975 31 Oct 2023

DTG rolled back their update. Mod still requires a workaround that prevents it from being used on TSW3.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (78)

Spikee1975 1 Nov 2023

This mod is now fully up to date with the latest DLC patches from DTG. If you are using an older version of the mod, the updated Vectron might not work correctly. Always use the latest version of my mod :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (79)

Minako 3 Nov 2023

please share instructions on how to change the location of the cameras in the cockpit

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (80)

Spikee1975 4 Nov 2023

Join the TSC Discord - I won't do a tutorial here :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (81)

Luke Barry 11 Nov 2023

idk why u keep updating this every few days its starting to get to the point of having to get rid of this mod because of it i feel its not worth using

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (82)

Spikee1975 12 Nov 2023

"idk"? See the changelog. Adding new stuff, staying compatible with DTG's updates.

You don't have to use the mod if updates annoy you for whatever reason.

Btw, next update is coming to stay compatible with the latest DTG Vorarlberg update ;)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (83)

Luke Barry 14 Nov 2023

yeah not for me sorry as a modder for ATS & ETS2 i dont do every 2 days updates

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (84)

Spikee1975 15 Nov 2023

It's your choice. All you need to do is overwrite the pak, but if that's too much feel free to delete it.
I'm also modding ETS2 (just for my own use though).
Ironically just because modders don't update their mods the Steam forums are full of bug reports that are due to outdated or badly maintained mods. :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (85)

Boomaglev 14 Nov 2023

The rotem camera rework was really needed, i was so tired of looking down to setup the cab. Many thanks!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (86)

Spikee1975 15 Nov 2023

You're welcome.

By request, I've also adjusted the Amfleet Cab Car, will come in the next update. (And the new Blackpool 47)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (87)

jmsimulation 16 Nov 2023

Great mod!
Can you also do it for the Ge4/4 Rhb?

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (88)

Spikee1975 18 Nov 2023

You can adjust the seat height as you like already on the Ge4/4. :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (89)

Smokey 16 Nov 2023

When I have T menu with instructions, zooming works too, can you disable that as in Vanilla game?

Btw, nice mod!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (90)

Spikee1975 18 Nov 2023

No, not possible. That's core game code. And what you are describing has nothing to do with my mod.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (91)

Smokey 26 Feb 2024

But without that mod when "T" menu is toggled zooming camera is disabled. So it must be your mod thing.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (92)

Spikee1975 27 Feb 2024

Nope. That's the effect of GodMode's Zoomier Zoom, not my mod. :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (93)

Padruig__ 20 Nov 2023

Excellent pack, you'de made the ICE1 usable now! Well done for the improvments to all the locos. Is there a way for some trains to not have the adjustments, the 323 and 158 i liked the prevouis cab view. Thanks!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (94)

Spikee1975 21 Nov 2023

Not really, unless removing the mod temporarily. (or just renaming it by changing the .pak suffix to something else like .bak or .inactive. Or use the Mod Manager available here.

Why do you want those extremely laid back cameras back, making the window view too narrow, instead looking at the whole cab?

The point of the mod is to have a view like you were actually the driver, and the default 323 and 158 don't give me the impression as I feel I can't reach the controls.

If someone doesn't like a particular cabview, that's nothing I can address other than telling you to disable the mod when playing a certain route - as the mod contains 90 cabviews I do not want to upload and maintain each one separately.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (95)

Spikee1975 21 Nov 2023

Another update was necessary, as I just received a Steam update affecting Edinburgh Glasgow and the 385. Mod updated to v1.27 to reflect the changes.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (96)

Nippur 27 Nov 2023

I found a problem with the 385, windows are almost white and can't see the exterior.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (97)

Spikee1975 27 Nov 2023

Are you using other mods? The issue you are describing cannot be caused by my mod, as I'm not editing materials, only coordinates.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (98)

Nippur 28 Nov 2023

I tried removing all mods except this and godmode, also removed all ini settings but when this mod is active, the Class 385 has white windows. All the other cabs looks great.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (99)

Spikee1975 29 Nov 2023

I cannot reproduce what you are describing.

Maybe redownload the mod and try again.

Was it possible to find a way to make it compatible with https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/mods/c3-train-sim-world/c19-patches/i4045-reduction-of-the-intensity-of-bro-br-425-red-lights?

I am currently working on my own 425 fix to include here. In addition to the tail lights, I will dim the marker lights too.

Edit: Done, v1.30 uploaded includes the 425 light fixes.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (102)

KCRCRailway 6 Dec 2023

Seems like I still got the nuclear tail light after using v1.30 with no other mods included, any clue what I should look at to figure out the issue?

Me the same it doenst work!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (104)

Spikee1975 6 Dec 2023

Then you have selected the Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr 425. I have not changed that one, as it is a ToDv3 vehicle.
BRO is using ToDv4 which uses completely different light emissive values.

Can't be done for both, it's just due to the switchover to a new lighting system with TSW3. They had copied the Rhein-Ruhr 425 to BRO without adapting the lights, which I did.

So make sure you are using the BRO425 on TSW3/4 routes. I've double checked - it works.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (105)

Xander1986 6 Dec 2023

Eh no! Thats not the case.... You now writing that I am talking about the 425 from Rhein Ruhr, but that is not the case! It's really about the BRO version

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (106)

KCRCRailway 7 Dec 2023

Same as Xander, I used the BOG one that only run on BOG

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (107)

Spikee1975 7 Dec 2023

I don't know. Probably another mod you are using is interfering with mine.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (108)

KCRCRailway 7 Dec 2023

I'm testing with no other mod but this one only (still have custom .ini)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (109)

Spikee1975 11 Dec 2023

Todays winter core patch needs the mod to be updated, hang in there. Will go out tonight.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (110)

Myron 12 Dec 2023

v1.30 is what we needed for the recent BRO 425 headlight fix mod which probably had a compatibility issue with this. even though I don't own BRO I miiiight buy it at some point, and a TOD4 425 would come in handy anyways (idk why though lmao the TOD3 one works well enough) but thanks!

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (111)

Myron 15 Dec 2023

will the BRO 425 light overhaul also be available for the NRM 425?

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (112)

Spikee1975 16 Dec 2023

Not needed. NRM 425 runs on pre TSW3 routes, so no action needed.

BRO 425 was a special case as it's a TOD3 vehicle on a TOD4 upgraded route.

But, never say never ;)

And the top marker cone is irrelevant on NRM, as there is no volumetric fog for old routes.

Poedem_Poezdato! 17 Dec 2023

Hello, dear Spikee1975! I really want to draw your attention to the fact that when the light in the locomotive cabin is turned on, when viewed from an external camera, it looks completely unreal! The cabin windows are usually too transparent, the interior lighting or the cabin textures themselves are too bright, and the camera's appearance looks unnatural! Is there any way to fix this? This is bad taste or incompetence due to the lack of an artist in DTG, but they will never fix it, so many locomotives have this bug with lights and cabin windows.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (114)

Spikee1975 17 Dec 2023

Which loco are you talking about?

Also, might be worth checking out other modders (JetWash has fixed the saloon lights on the 700 for example).

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (115)

Poedem_Poezdato! 17 Dec 2023

I mean, most of the locomotives in the game. There is 1 locomotive with good glasses Cajon Pass BNSF SD 40-2 look at what kind of glass it has and what the interior looks like from an external camera through the glass and what transparency there is and compare it with all the other locomotives in the game and you will understand what I'm talking about. Thanks for your attention!

OleDre 21 Dec 2023

While tracking down a mod or mods that would cause TSW4 to hang in a forever loading loop when trying to load several different scenarios, actually there were three so far, Two Vest mods for CSX and NS DLCs. As well as a sound mod for the class 155 working with the mod author it was worked out, I understand this may be TMI, but as I was putting the mods back in one at a time load the gammee and test & so on. I then ran across the issue as you see in the images, this only happens when CabCamFix mod is installed, and this only has happened with the class 166, when doing the "Down The Line" Scenario and when choosing either of the services on Platform 8 Slough & Platform 10 Reading and Platform 14 Hayes & Harlington doesn't have an NPC in the seat, this not an issue.

I un-installed every mod from the game and started all over again and I only have "CabCamFix" installed, I did not un-install the ini mod, I never heard of an ini mod that would have this kind of an effect on the game. Up til now I never had any issues with the CabCamFix, this is very odd. I tried to make the images smaller but still be able to see what is happening. And I will remove them to keep the thread cleaner looking if that is what you wish.

JetWash 21 Dec 2023

I've seen exactly the same thing and haven't got as far as testing it mod free, but I suspect it's yet ANOTHER bug with the game. The NPC isn't disappearing when you sit in the seat and I'd be very surprised if a mod that simply altered camera co-ordinates could prevent that happening. It only happens in this one scenario and if you look in the external view there are two characters in the seat. It maybe that this mod has unmasked a bug that is hitherto unseen because the player has always blocked out the NPC. It’s a PITA but all I can suggest is remove the mod to play this scenario and put it back in for everything else.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (121)

OleDre 21 Dec 2023

The scenario is playable :) But I would not be surprised if it's not another Game Bug, nevertheless, I figured Let you both know what is happening as I see it. And yes it's not that much of a hassle to remove the mod to do one or two scenarios.
I just noticed that I neglected to mention that the choose from the list that pops up was screen-capped from TSW3 as this doesn't show up in TSW4. Thanks for getting back to me. But it is kind of funny when ya think about it, no sense in crying :) Oh yeah If y'all want me to remove the images let me know.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (122)

JetWash 21 Dec 2023

This is entirely Spikee’s mod, I’m just an interloper. Did you say it works ok when the mod is uninstalled? Maybe Spikee could take a look at it.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (123)

OleDre 21 Dec 2023

With the mod removed, No Eye & Tongue :) took a few screencaps.

OleDre 22 Dec 2023

Things happen, it's the life of modding, as for the second man I will have a look-see and grab a few screencaps, let me know if I should take the images down to keep the thread clean. This was not the game being buggy then?
I was going to do a scenario like the two-faced guy :), I wanted to ask you first because I don't want to do ya wrong, would rather promote the mod and I would have a disclaimer saying all was fixed and show it. Merry Christmas.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (129)

Spikee1975 22 Dec 2023

testing... hold on...

I have checked my mod and my initial suspicion was not true, I don't see any error.

When do you see the two faced guy? Service on P8?

OK, he's on P10. Wait.

That's weird. Using my mod, the driver stays in the seat and you're on top of him. Without it, he disappears as soon as you take a seat. (Secondman has nothing to do with it, it's a driver)

I'll need some time. Because the 166 is set up a little different. The camera coordinates are not relative to the seat, but to the loco centre. This must have something to do with it.

If it only affects this scenario, I'm gonna leave it as it is. If I can take over any service on foot, then it's not worth the effort.

I'm not sure how this old scenario is scripted. But it seems the way the NPC is removed is different than normal...

If I take over any service, it works. It is just this one scenario that works in a different way.

But I will see on which coordinate it depends, maybe changing the X a little will resolve this

Nothing I can do here
The driver change in this scenario is somehow depending on the coordinates, if I change the camera just by 0.1 it's not working. This one is pretty weird... the NPC is not placed in the vehicle like a normal NPC, it seems he is tied to fixed coordinates that are related to the driver CAM not the SEAT. As these coordinates have changed, he is non-existent for the game and doesn't get removed. So the bug is in the design of that one scenario. (which is one of the oldest TSW scenarios.)

I won't remove the 166 from the mod just because of this one scenario, so I'll leave it at that.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (130)

OleDre 22 Dec 2023

I hear ya, and it's no biggie, I didn't expect you to go through all this, sometimes it's just not worth it, and hear ya and can understand. The mod can be deactivated when doing either of those scenarios on Platforms 8 and 10 and I just did some of a timetable service with a 323 and took over from the AI NPC with no issues at all. There is something that is just off with the 166 and "Down The Line Scenario" The pop choice of routes to take does not show in TSW4 & Yet in TSW3 it does most times the is. I appreciate what you have done and the time you took to make this mod, not to mention troubleshoot it now. Heck, you have done more than you need to with this one, and if I could tip all y'all modders I would, I can live with it as is.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (131)

Spikee1975 22 Dec 2023

The introductory scenario on GWE was also broken for years, not recognising you taking a seat. It seems they are set up differently.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (132)

OleDre 22 Dec 2023

So it would seem, and TSW4 is just helping to bring the issues to light even more so on this one, that is a shame I kinda like the 166, the way it sounds and rides. so much more could have been done with it. Who knows if they released the source code like a few others have, well then maybe. Wish I could have stayed with modding but life had its way and those days are way beyond me now. That is why I try to give back what I can in my own way.

is it possible for you to lower the caab view for the mbta cab car? it's way too high up when compared to real life.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (136)

Spikee1975 26 Dec 2023

You mean the CTC-3? I've worked on this already, I think it has good view. If I lower it, you can't see the cab-signalling displays...

were to install this mod on the TSW4 from gamepass?

Nuwanda 14 Feb 2024

On the gamepass version, each DLC has its own folder. By default it should be in C:\XboxGames. For e.g., I have mine here: C:\XboxGames\Metrolink Antelope Valley Line\Content\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC.

YamadaRyo 26 Mar 2024

If convenient, can you provide version v1.29 again?
It runs well on my TSW3, at least working on CRR SD40
The latest v1.37 version will cause issues with my game, such as CSX GP38-2/UP SD70ACe/UP SD40-2, which will disappear after entering the game
If you don't understand what I'm saying, feel free to ask me anytime, because my native language is not English

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (148)

Spikee1975 29 Mar 2024

Hi YamadaRyo,

the mod is based on the TSW4 files, so it's not intended for use with TSW3.

Making it TSW3 compatible would require me to reinstall TSW3 with all DLC, extract all the needed files and basically redo the mod from scratch.

Sorry to say but I'm not interested in supporting TSW3 any more. It's double the trouble.

I'm on the discord so I can reach out if preferred, but I was wondering if this effected, or on request, might be able to include, the Underground '72 stock? It'd be nice if the speedo was within the default field of view.

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (150)

Spikee1975 21 Apr 2024

That would only require you to look down a bit, no change of camera position. I'll not make changes to the default rotation, you're always looking straight forward.

I have tested it succesfully on my end. There is nothing in it that could cause a crash, no idea why it crashes for you. When does it happen exactly?

By the way, I just made another update which fixes the too weak reading lights in the Semmeringbahn Taurus. :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (165)

Spikee1975 25 Jun 2024

Indeed.

Note there will be another big update coming - I have only updated what I found in DTG's patch notes to presumably affect the RailVehicleViews which I altered.

I cannot rely on their patch notes to be complete, so I am basically redoing the mod based on all updated paks, which will take some time as this mod is now almost 100-in-1 mods.

Before I am finished, if you experience something strange, remove the mod and test again and please report if it's my mod that caused the effect. Thank you, should be finished updating the all updated mod on the weekend, which will then be 100% compatible. It might be already - but I must extract and compare the files from all paks again to make sure so I can sleep at night :)

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (166)

Spikee1975 25 Jun 2024

Full compatibility patch is out - I've extracted all paks that were affected by the UK and DE updates, and updated the files accordingly. Should only need another update when DTG decides to release patches again.

A word on the Bremen-Oldenburg Br 425:

In the latest patch, DTG destroyed the possibility to tune the marker lights by removing the spotlight sources completely. By doing so, they destroyed my fix which was carefully tuned. Now, the top marker is the only illuminating light source unless you turn on high beams.

It is now impossible to give the 425 realistic lighting by modding the values. Instead of applying my fix they pretty much ruined the thing due to their incompetence.

Spikee, is this mod incompatible with any other mods? The past couple versions haven't been working for me, including the latest version

TSW CabCam Improvements All-in-One v1.67 (174)

Spikee1975 8 Aug 2024

This can never be guaranteed, as everyone can put out a mod that modifies the same files as mine. You can change its priority by putting an exclamation mark in front of its filename though.

Everyone is using a different set of mods, so I cannot check against every other mod out there daily. In the end, it's my mod based on the vanilla TSW4 and not others, so all I can gurantee is that it works fine with TSW4.

Sadly I don't know. I would need a copy of the game from Epic, as I don't know how the file structure works on that version. I know that won't help, but for the full experience I can only recommend buying from Steam, as all mods are working on there.
