[ANSWERED] How do Vehicles Work?

[paulp575]

I have found some vehicle I'd like to manually add to my game.
For example, one is listed as an "Asset Vehicle" (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1544132104).
Once I subscribe to them, how do they get on the map?
Will C:S automatically add them? Or do I have to manually place them on the map? If I place one will additional vehicles (same asset) automatically add or do I need to manual add a bunch of them?
Thanks for the reply - still expanding my experience with C:S.

they'll appear like any other vehicle does. with mods, you sometimes need to switch them on in the content manager, but assets are just there.

They'll appear automatically. You can use the Advanced Vehicle Options mod to unable/disable vehicles to spawn in your city.

As others said, it should just start appearing in your city.

There are some vehicle assets that are prop versions instead, and would have to be placed manually and they don't move.

Yeah, that looks like just a residential vehicle that cims would use to go to work, shopping, visiting, etc. It should show up randomly in your city, like the other vehicles do.

For this type of 'random' vehicle, it will just start showing up randomly like the 'vanilla' vehicles.

For something like a bus or train or ferry-boat, etc, you can change each individual line to use an asset vehicle instead if you want. The the whole line will use that vehicle, but none of the other lines. (unless you switch each line of course) So for bus, each line could have a different vehicle if you wanted.

I saw then when searching the workshop. Appreciate you confirming what I thought - that props do NOT move.
