Top 10 Euro Truck Simulator 2 Mods Revealed

It’s been over a decade since *Euro Truck Simulator 2* hit the road, and the series continues to roll forward with a wealth of both paid and free content. But if you're looking to add a bit more excitement to your journey, mods are the way to go.

Unlike some games that make modding a hassle, *Euro Truck Simulator 2* comes with built-in support for mods, and there's an extensive library of them available. From minor tweaks to major overhauls, these mods can transform your gaming experience. The easiest method to install them is through Steam Workshop, but exploring other modding sites can uncover even more gems.

To help you get started, here's a list of the top *Euro Truck Simulator 2* mods you should consider:

1. Ultimate Real Companies

Remember *The Getaway* on PS2 with its real company logos? *Euro Truck Simulator 2* usually sticks to fictional brands, but the Ultimate Real Companies mod changes that. It introduces real-world companies into the game, so you might spot an IKEA or see a Coca-Cola truck pass by, adding a layer of realism to your drives.

2. ProMods

ProMods is more than just a single mod; it's a comprehensive suite of mods that significantly expand the game's map. With 20 new countries and over 300 additional cities, ProMods offers a massive new world to explore. While free, some DLCs are required for full compatibility, ensuring that SCS Software continues to receive support for further development. These mods are large, often segmented into 200MB files, but they're well worth the download.

3. Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather

This mod doesn't bring in extreme weather like hailstorms, but it does offer a significant upgrade to the game's weather system and other graphical elements, including enhanced water effects. The improved fog can create a *Silent Hill*-like atmosphere, and the revamped skyboxes make the scenery even more breathtaking as you drive.

4. TruckersMP

Before SCS Software added an official multiplayer mode, the community developed TruckersMP. This mod remains popular, offering a richer multiplayer experience than the official Convoy mode, with servers hosting up to 64 players. It also includes public events to engage the trucking community, and you can track other players' journeys on the TruckersMP map even if you're not playing.

5. Subaru Impreza

Why stick to trucks when you can take a Subaru Impreza for a spin? This mod lets you purchase and drive this nimble car, perfect for a relaxing Sunday drive. While it's more challenging to handle than cars in *Grand Theft Auto 5*, it's a fun change of pace without the pressure of cargo.

6. The Dark Side Roleplay Mod

Gather some friends and dive into the world of smuggling with The Dark Side Roleplay mod. This mod adds illegal cargo to the game, allowing you to live out your *Breaking Bad* fantasies. From counterfeit cash to weapons and more, it's a thrilling addition for those who want to play on the edge of the law.

7. Traffic Intensity and Behaviour Mod

If you've ever found the roads in *Euro Truck Simulator 2* too quiet, this mod is for you. It increases traffic density and realism, including rush hour traffic, making your journey planning more strategic and your driving experience more immersive.

8. Sound Fixes Pack

While *Euro Truck Simulator 2*'s sound effects are decent, the Sound Fixes Pack mod enhances them significantly. It introduces new sounds, reworks existing ones, and adds practical fixes like multiple tyre sounds based on the road surface. Plus, enjoy the addition of six new foghorn sounds for that extra touch of authenticity.

9. Realistic Truck Physics Mod

Even if you've never driven a truck, you'll appreciate the Realistic Truck Physics mod. It refines the game's physics for a more authentic feel, with smoother suspension and other enhancements. It might still take some practice to avoid getting your trailer stuck, but the mod ensures the game's physics are more in line with real-world trucking.

10. More Realistic Fines

Tired of constant fines that feel too punitive? The More Realistic Fines mod adjusts the game's penalty system to be more forgiving. You'll still face consequences for speeding or running red lights, but it's less of a sure thing, adding a layer of realism to traffic enforcement.
