Euro Truck Simulator 2 Map Mods
Annette Fazzari
In 2012, SCS Software released Euro Truck Simulator 2. Despite the years and a specific genre, this title remains popular and boasts an active modding scene. Among the available mods, we can find simple texture swaps for trucks and roads, but also mods improving graphics or the economic system in the game, as well as huge projects adding completely new areas to travel down to.
Thanks to fan-made mods, ETS2 can be completely transformed and given a second life. The shortcomings of the original have long since been eliminated by modders, and the content of the game is constantly expanded by new mods.
Before you start downloading and installing various mods, be warned that any tampering with the files can damage the game. We recommend backing up your driver profile before attempting to install any mods.
Installed mods just need to be activated in the mod manager inside the game. To access it, you need to go to edit your driver profile. Some add-ons require a bit more effort, in which case you will find detailed installation instructions under the mod description.
It is worth remembering that not all modifications work with every version of the game. Some mods for ETS2 require specific release editions, or the presence of certain, official expansions. If this is the case, you will find a note to that effect in the add-on description.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
Due to script complexity, some users may face a small known bug(Arrows disappearing, Destinations & Mission Vehicles not getting spawned)
To fix this issue, Simply, reload the script by pressing "insert" key on your keyboard, once the game finishes loading screen completely.
P.S. Please consider this as a last update from my side for this mod. After spending huge amount of time, in developing the functionalities and the mappings, the initial download response was too low for me to continue the development of this mod.
First of all i must say that this is the most complex and well made mod for GTA V i ever played. You did a very good job ashishcw and i hope you will keep making these kind of mods in the future. One thing that i dont like about this mod is why when you purchase your own truck and deliver your own goods, you still have to choose the longest route possible in order to get the maximum amount of cash. And as a curiosity, i want to know if you can buy other farms beside the first one. I saw at the land dealer that are 3 farms. The first one is bought, but the others are not purchasable yet
when I get into the truck to do a vendor delivery I get no prompt as to where to deliver the goods and there is an error in the F4 console to say something wasn't initialised, but other than that it looks like a great mod!
Great mod and you can see how much work there is, thank you!
An idea:
It would be great if there was a car somewhere after a mission :-)
I urgently need the cheats, because otherwise "inGame" takes too long for me.
It would be awesome if the earnings were also booked in the real game account, so only one cash register or account but also so great!
Hi, me again, I have now played the mod hours and it is just annoying - always the same attacks and the damage is programmed far too high. the locations are mostly uninteresting and the same. if you add several locations yourself, the mod will usually read them incorrectly and the marker is in nothing or in the sea. even if you insert the coordinates yourself in the xml file - a shame it could have been great but it annoys too much and I have to uninstall the mod.
Classic case of 95% well programmed and then the 5% in gameplay totally wrong :-(
aaaahhhh ......Sorry for the openness, but especially when a mod or game has done so much work and is programmed so perfectly that you don't think about gameplay anymore? unbelievable a shame, would love to play the mod :-(
going to same places make everything boring. plus the actual game system should be synced with the mod. i have various other job mods through which i earned money so i will buy land from my earned money
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a deep and rewarding game, and it was met with favorable reviews when it released back in 2012. It's maintained a large, active community since its inception, and gamers from all over have lauded its in-game economy, career paths, and authentic European roadways. And even if you've never climbed behind a simulated wheel before, it's likely you'll find something to enjoy thanks to the game's level of customization, and its open-ended environment. There's just something incredibly fun about driving a gigantic, metallic behemoth that you've tweaked with your own hands across breathtaking sceneries and delivering a payload successfully (and on time).
But it doesn't stop there. Euro Truck Simulator 2, in addition to all of its out-of-the-box goodness, also has a huge amount of fantastic mods. So many, in fact, that it can be a little dizzying trying to sort through each and every one. That's why we hand-picked the very best and included them in the list below. We also categorized the list by specific topics (such as AI traffic packs and truck types), so if you're leaning towards a particular area, it'll be easier to locate the file.
For detailed info on how to install the mods, check out these instructions. All you'll need ahead of time is an unzipping program, such as WinRAR or 7Zip. The installation process is remarkably simple, so once you've downloaded the mods you should be able to get them up and running immediately.
This simple but effective mod replaces the default map symbols on your GPS unit as well as the main map. The author also includes steps on changing the descriptions of the symbols to different languages. At a mere 7kb, this one should only take a second or two to acquire.
This add-on recreates the vast Russian territory, and includes such famous locations as Belarus, Minsk, Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and many more. There are also plenty of cities in the Republic of Belarus, and a staggering amount of roads leading between everything. Aside from the larger metropolitan areas, there are plenty of smallish towns dotted about as well.
Jazzycat makes some amazing mods when it comes to traffic in Euro Truck Simulator 2. The link above leads to a whole host of options, ranging from loads of detailed tour buses, trucks and trailers, sports cars, and standard cars. Each vehicle is a work of art, and each of them will look completely natural on the road beside you. There are makes and models from all over the world, adding significant variety to the standard game's mix.
Itching for as realistic an experience as possible? For the notably hardcore, you can install this traffic jam mod to make the in-game driving world mimic our sometimes unfortunate reality. At times you'll grin and relax as you see a line of unending cars on the other side of the highway, while other times you'll panic as you need to slam on the brakes while the traffic comes to a steady halt in front of you.
D.B. Creation's traffic mod is wholly compatible with Jazzycat's data, and it offers a lot of extras to the table. There's more traffic per city, optimized traffic flow in general, AI vehicle lights, different speeds for different cars, better visibility of warning signs, improved rain effects (including sounds), and higher interior sound for your radio and music.
With this mod, you can buy your very own American classic Peterbilt 389 (available from the DAF dealer located in Amsterdam). The truck comes loaded with features, such as a wind deflector with the Peterbilt logo, a red light inside the cabin, a Viking bullbar with chains and hook, and a wide array of auxiliary lights, including parking, reverse, and turn signals. There are also four new engines to choose from, each with unique sounds.
A classic flat-nosed rig, the Volvo F10 can be bought from the in-game Volvo dealer (once the mod is installed, of course). The latest version uses less fuel, comes with oversized gas tanks, and incorporates a revised set of exhaust pipes. The chassis' V6 engine rumbles with authentic sound, and you can purchase the 8x4 motor in the shop independently of the truck.
Want some wintery paradise in your Euro Truck Simulator 2? This mod adds snow-covered roads that blend well with the chilled environments around them, creating a distinct change of pace compared to the usual summer landscapes. If you happen to have a snowy skin for your truck, this is the perfect time to use it.
This mod adds in a reworked rainy skybox and optimizes the game's graphics for HDR (High Dynamic Range). It also includes performance tweaks for 1980x1080 resolutions, and enhancments to various external sounds from violent storms and strong weather. Overall, Brutal Environment HD makes your highway cruises far more intense when the clouds start gathering.
A complete reimagining of the stock menus, the New Menu Style mod includes a new loading screen, tweaked menu icons, and a realistic game map, which makes for an incredibly immersive experience with an updated look and feel. It won't take up that much storage space either, as the file clocks in at 47MB.
This 204MB mod adds 25 distinct trailers, most of which are flat-beds with heavy-duty equipment on top, such as industrial dump trucks, farming vehicles, road maintenance gear, and building materials. This trailer pack stands out thanks to the sheer size of the hardware carried and the detail in the model design.
This trailer pack is technically included with the giant Jazzycat Trucks, Buses, and Cars suite, but it's so good it's worth highlighting all on its own. It adds 47 distinct trailers, 1,500 skins, and 255 pieces of gear to go on top of them (including a helicopter, scores of lumber, and even a red, double-decker bus). The wide range of cargo is available from 82 companies for hauling.
Think you have what it takes to drive an actual truck in Europe? This mod might be as close as you can get to doing so. With Improved Truck Physics applied, driving becomes far more challenging and realistic, and it heavily adjusts such crucial values as brake efficiency, retarder effectiveness, suspension, engine compression, flywheel resistance, and overall responsiveness.
