Quick answer
Yes, Transport Fever 3 supports mods from day one, for free, and across platforms. You find and install them through an in-game mod browser.[1][2] The developer also runs a Curated Mods Program, where approved modders make vetted, high-quality mods.[3]
How you get mods
- In the game: the Steam listing describes "cross-platform modding support with in-game mod browser for easy content discovery".[1]
- Mod Hub: the Dev Blog highlights mention "a cross-platform Mod Hub" together with expanded modding and "major upgrades to the Model Editor".[2]
- Free on day one: the First Look highlights promise "day-one and free cross-platform mod support".[2]
The Curated Mods Program
Announced on April 22, 2026, the program exists so players get "high quality mods that provide a smooth and reliable gameplay experience already on day one".[3] It works like this:
- Only modders "with a proven track record" are approved to take part.
- Every mod must meet specific quality and eligibility criteria.
- The developer says nearly every feature was built with moddability and cross-platform support in mind.[3]
Creating your own content
The store page says the modding tools "have been greatly improved". An in-game map editor lets you build maps from scratch or recreate real places.[1] Wikipedia notes that the editor can import heightmaps as well as sculpt terrain by hand.[4]
Do Transport Fever 2 mods work in Transport Fever 3?
Neither the store page nor the modding announcements say that TF2 mods are compatible.[1][3] Given the rebuilt map generation, road and cargo systems (see what's new vs TF2), assume you will need TF3 versions of your favourite mods until modders confirm otherwise.
