The best mods for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (2021)
These are the best Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) mods for PC, from new maps and vehicles to improved graphics and gameplay.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one of the most acclaimed driving simulation games on PC thanks to its accurate representation of the trucker’s work, a task that gives off a certain calm and relaxation when it moves to virtual terrain and allows us to get behind the wheel of big and heavy vehicles on long stretches throughout the European continent, including Spanish roads.
Its creators, the SCS Software studio, know that the community is eager to interpret the bases that they established themselves in their own way, so they do not hesitate to support the creation and distribution of mods. Thanks to this collaboration, we can find fan-developed projects that alter the aesthetics of vehicles, both inside and out, as well as adding new content in the form of maps, sounds and other types of vehicles.
There are two basic ways to install mods in Euro Truck Simulator 2: the first and easiest is to do it through the Steam Workshop, a library of community creations that makes it easy to install mods by simply pressing the ‘Subscribe’ button, also allowing Simply browse through player creations. Of course, to use this method it is necessary to have Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam, obviously.
Go to the ‘Games by GG’ folder that you will find in your ‘Program Files’ and copy the ‘base.scs’ file that you will find there.
Now go to ‘My Documents / Documents / Euro Truck Simulator 2’, create a folder called ‘mod’ (if you don’t already have it) and paste in it the ‘base.scs’ file.
When you download the mod you have chosen, you will see that it brings files with the extension ‘.scs’: those will be the ones that you have to copy and paste into the ‘mod’ folder that you created before.
Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2 and open the Mod Manager section that you will see in the menu. The mods that you have installed will have to appear there and you can activate them to test them in the game.
Either using the first method or the second, we can manage the Euro Truck SImulator 2 mods in the Mod Manager, as its name suggests. Not only will we see all the ones we have installed there, but we will also be able to activate and deactivate them, in addition to checking whether or not it is compatible with the version of the game we are using.
