ETS2 Mods: Unlock New Features and Enhancements

Enhance Your Euro Truck Simulator 2 Experience with These Top Mods!

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has been a trucking sensation for over a decade, constantly expanding with new content. But to truly elevate your gameplay, explore the vast world of mods! With built-in mod support, ETS2 offers countless options, from subtle tweaks to complete overhauls. While Steam Workshop is the easiest entry point, numerous other modding sites await your discovery.

Here are ten must-have mods to transform your ETS2 adventure:

1. Ultimate Real Companies

Remember the surprising realism of real-world company logos in older games? Ultimate Real Companies brings that back to ETS2, replacing fictional businesses with actual brands like Ikea and Coca-Cola. This subtle addition significantly boosts the game's immersion.

2. ProMods

ProMods isn't just one mod; it's a massive collection expanding the game's map dramatically. Explore 20 new countries, 100+ new cities, and over 200 additional cities in existing in-game locations. While requiring some DLCs, the substantial free content is well worth the download (divided into manageable 200MB chunks).

3. Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather

This mod dramatically enhances ETS2's visuals, particularly its weather system. Experience improved water effects, atmospheric fog, and stunning skyboxes. While not overly dramatic, the improvements are substantial and create a more immersive driving experience.

4. TruckersMP

Before the official multiplayer mode, TruckersMP emerged as a fan-created multiplayer experience. Still thriving today, it often surpasses the official Convoy mode, supporting up to 64 players and hosting community events. Even if you're not driving, you can track other players' journeys on the TruckersMP map.

5. Subaru Impreza

Fancy a break from trucking? This mod lets you purchase and drive a Subaru Impreza, offering a change of pace with a more agile vehicle. While challenging to control, it provides a refreshing alternative to the heavy-duty trucks.

6. The Dark Side Roleplay Mod

Team up with friends for some illicit activities! The Dark Side Roleplay mod transforms you into smugglers, transporting illegal cargo across the ETS2 map. Establish your own rules and engage in thrilling, player-driven scenarios.

7. Traffic Intensity and Behaviour Mod

Experience more realistic and denser traffic on the roads, including rush hour congestion. This mod significantly increases immersion by mirroring real-world driving conditions.

8. Sound Fixes Pack

This mod refines ETS2's audio, adding new sounds, improving existing ones, and incorporating logical fixes. Enjoy enhanced tire sounds that vary with the road surface and six new foghorn sounds. The subtle enhancements create a more immersive soundscape.

9. Realistic Truck Physics Mod

This mod refines the game's physics engine, resulting in more realistic vehicle handling, especially noticeable in the suspension and weight distribution. The improved physics enhance the simulation aspect of the game.

10. More Realistic Fines

Tired of constant fines? This mod introduces a more forgiving law enforcement system. While speeding and running red lights still carry risks, they are not guaranteed to result in a fine, providing a more balanced gameplay experience.

These ten mods offer a great starting point for enhancing your Euro Truck Simulator 2 experience. Get ready to hit the road with a whole new perspective!
