I don't use any mods at all

But without mods, you don't get real world trucks like this on the road (@Lopéz would be proud).

Or real world signs like this by the side of the road.

It just adds to the realism and makes it a nicer place to drive.

@Feek What's with the lack of oil and air pressure in your FH?

To be fair your screenies are always better looking than what my game looks like

I should look into it

Alright chaps, for a laugh at our next LAN we are going to sort some challanges on this, none of us have played it before (other than to drive the wrong way down M62 and try find our house, ha)

What sort of small 1-2hr challanges could we set? We expect a lot of crashes / red light running etc.

Also the above mods look cool, how would one go about getting signs / other npc trucks etc ingame? Would need to be simple stuff, 8 people to get it installed and setup on.

Thanks

Mods can be downloaded via various sites (I use the Steam Workshop and ets2.lt) They come in .zip/.rar/.scs files, then simply moved into the "mod" folder.

"Euro truck simulator 2" > "mod" then put the files in there, going via Steam.

Challenges. Could race from one town to another with out damage, hitting a certain speed etc?

That looks really wide angle and I wonder what model Volvo that is.

Better addition, you're not allowed to go below a certain speed

I keep looking at this game and im seriously tempted even though I'll be on controller but Im scared to get addicted

The first step is the hardest

Welcome to the club, assuming the steam sale nudges him to make the right decision.

Digital X · 20 Dec 2017 at 16:54

Steam sale should be on the 22nd, should be around £5 or less then

Join us!!

keeping an eye on the sale for the Italy expansion and the new trailers. taken out all my mods bar promods as they are al causing crashes now and keep getting headaches with other map pack like RusMap and Project Balkans. Might look at some of the other truck mods though. Like the look over a couple of the Peterbilts

Snookums · 20 Dec 2017 at 17:07

I've done it and joined the club, best mods to use for a more realistic trucking experience?

Do all of these work with ProMods without issues?
