Update #5 marks a serious turning point for Bus Simulator 21. Already because the list of fixed bugs is long and interesting. We learn, for example, that the PNJ buses no longer wait (too) long at bus stops before leaving so that the player does not end up waiting. Pedestrians are also, finally, able to properly manage… their umbrella. A bug that has been a "task" since the game was released. But it's not the bug fixes that interest us the most in the changelog (available in full here), it is above all the announcement of modding, finally possible on Bus Simulator 21.
The mods will be available at this address: https://bus21.mod.io
After registering on the mod site, you must "link" the platform to the game, which will detect the maps, buses, skins and decals to which you have subscribed. SnowRunner users will not be out of place. For now, mods are only available on PC. Console players will have to wait.
Finally, downloading mods is one thing, creating them is another. The developers provide the mod development kit as well as a very complete manual.
The (free) kit to download from the Epic Games Store:
