Addendum to the The Bus Modding Contest!Apr 11, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsAddendum to the The Bus Modding Contest: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38629408/407e93457e833b88dc0fe39a56e98db1d1df7740.png Unfortunately we had to realize that one of the winning mods in the modding contest will be disqualified. On 2.4. at 23.33 this mod was changed on Steam and was no longer an active mod at the time of winning, but only pretended to be a mod. As a result, the fourth place slips up and the new 3 winning places are as follows: 1st place: RealAI 2nd place Fürth Line 172 3rd place BVG Atron 4.10 New UI We do not support the theft of content. Credits should always be given when using content from other modders. The use of third-party content will no longer be permitted in future modding contests and this will be explicitly included in the rules from next time onwards. The winners will be contacted via Steam. If a mod has already been taken down and therefore the creator cannot be contacted, please contact us in Discord.
