why do people say they're making mods, and they never actually finish them.. nearly all members have mods in their sig, and they're 'in production' yet they be in production for lots of year.
WHY do you fool us?
theres only one good mod and thats LA mod, oh and the netherlands mod.
Why are so little mods actually finished?

Good mods take a lot of time to make, and some mods have to be stopped for various reasons.

You have forgotten the NY mod. Some people start a "mod" and they spend their time on making useless models in SketchUp or making forums and websites.

Well the majority of mods are German because:
1.The game is originally German...
2.They have a larger active fan base in Germany than anywhere else which equals more people modding
3. With the exception of about a quarter of the mods, they are just reskins of models by others, nothing special
4. The game is based in Europe so conversions to other countries are hard to achieve.
5. American Apparatus selection is more diverse than most European countries, meaning most mods have to create a complete new set of units not just reskin the same 8 models from another mod.
6. Modding is hard
7. Real life can be a pain, and slows or stops work on mods
8. Limited tools to work with when modding

BECAUSE PEOLPE HAVE LIVES!
Seriously no one here is superhuman and we all have personal lives. Personal reasons are about 60-70% of the coause of all mod deaths I'd say.

I like what they did with the UI, and the traffic cones. I loved that! the cars went around them and you could put them in a line!
I've been working on a urban UI for a while now (Lotsa stuff to work on there)

We got complains from your reaction. Please behave, before you start a flame war. You know that the Dutch people share the same ancestors as the Germans? Watch out before you say anything, there is enough to say about Americans as well.

Hmm. The Wuppertal mod looks good, but I still have an issue with it. Like so MANY other mods its in German, and there isn't an English translated version. Now don't get me wrong I like the mod, but to me English is like the second language everyone in the freak world learns. I mean really you might see someone speaking German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, or Chinessee, and then all of a sudden they start speaking English. So, there isn't a shortage there, when they start making English variables so we know what the (insert what ever you want) is happening instead of having to post "what does this button do", then I'll get back to you.
In addition to that what's with Germans are nerdy, I'm an American citizen and I'm beginning to wonder about this Damn country. Japan is surpassing us (and they had a TOUGH road), I wouldn't begin to talk about Germany. Wait .... everyone we've conquered in a war is smarter then us, odd. Hmm could it be because most of our country is lazy .... I'm not sure anymore about the US.
Anyway ... good mods (that are up), the Wuppertal mod is good, but when I can understand it in english we'll talk. For me the best so far is Hoppah I don't really care about LA but meh, the mod is pretty awesome. Can't wait for the NY mod but I have my own opinions there. I'm sure my comment will break a few hearts but the truth hurts sometimes too.

I think you have missed our a major modification that is finished. Winterberg modification adds so much to the game and is really worth the download.
Wuppertal modification seems to add a-lot to the game as well. From the screen shot's and videos that are available they seem to be focussing mainly on the fire aspect of the game.
Ultimately there is nothing to stop you creating a modification with no intentions of ever completing it, get a website, post a few screen shots and get a following.
