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 is still going strong with a plethora of both paid and free content. But if you're looking to add even more excitement to your trucking adventures, mods are the way to go.

Unlike some games that make modding a hassle, *Euro Truck Simulator 2* offers built-in mod support, with thousands of mods available. These range from minor tweaks to game-changing overhauls. The easiest way to install them is through the Steam Workshop, but exploring other modding sites can be a fun treasure hunt.

To help you get started, here are the top *Euro Truck Simulator 2* mods that you should definitely try out.

1. Ultimate Real Companies

Remember *The Getaway* on PS2? It featured real company logos and storefronts, like Pizza Hut and Thorntons, which added a unique touch. Nowadays, for legal reasons, games often use fictional companies. The Ultimate Real Companies mod brings back that realism by adding actual companies to the game. You might spot an Ikea store or a Coca Cola truck, enhancing the game's authenticity.

2. ProMods

ProMods is not just a single mod but a collection of mods under the ProMods banner, focusing on expanding the game's map. It adds 20 new countries and over 100 cities, plus 200+ cities to existing countries. While the mods are free, some require DLCs to function, ensuring that SCS Software continues to receive support for further development. These mods are substantial, coming in 200MB chunks, but they're well worth the download.

3. Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather

The Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather mod significantly enhances the game's weather system and includes other graphical improvements like better water effects. If you've ever wanted to drive through a *Silent Hill*-like atmosphere, the mod's improved fog could be exactly what you're looking for. And while you should keep your eyes on the road, the enhanced skyboxes make the skies even more beautiful during your journeys.

4. TruckersMP

Before SCS Software introduced the official multiplayer mode, fans developed TruckersMP. This mod remains popular and offers some advantages over the official Convoy mode. It supports up to 64 players on servers and hosts public events to unite the trucking community. You can even track other trucks' journeys using the TruckersMP map, even if you're not playing.

5. Subaru Impreza

Why stick to trucks when you can take a Sunday drive? The Subaru Impreza mod lets you purchase and drive a Subaru Impreza on the game's roads. It's faster than the trucks but trickier to handle, offering a fun and challenging driving experience without the worry of cargo.

6. The Dark Side Roleplay Mod

Gather a few friends and turn your trucking into a thrilling smuggling operation with The Dark Side Roleplay mod. This mod adds illegal cargo, allowing you to live out your *Breaking Bad* fantasies, albeit without meth. You can transport counterfeit cash, weapons, and more, with some rules agreed upon by players.

7. Traffic Intensity and Behaviour Mod

Ever noticed how quiet *Euro Truck Simulator 2*'s roads can be? The Traffic Intensity and Behaviour mod addresses this by adding more realistic and denser traffic. My favorite feature is the inclusion of rush hour, giving you another reason to time your journeys carefully to avoid road rage.

8. Sound Fixes Pack

Sometimes, it's the little things that make a difference. The Sound Fixes Pack mod enhances *Euro Truck Simulator 2*'s audio by adding new effects, reworking existing ones, and incorporating common sense fixes. It even includes multiple tyre sounds depending on the road surface. The addition of six new foghorn sounds is just the cherry on top.

9. Realistic Truck Physics Mod

While I've never driven a truck, *Euro Truck Simulator 2*'s vehicles feel somewhat realistic, especially in terms of weight. The Realistic Truck Physics mod takes this realism further by refining the game's physics for a smoother and more authentic trucking experience. Even with these improvements, you'll still need to be cautious not to get your trailer stuck, but it's harder to blame the game. The mod's development benefits from input from real truckers, ensuring its accuracy.

10. More Realistic Fines

Tired of the omnipresent law enforcement in *Euro Truck Simulator 2*? The More Realistic Fines mod introduces a more balanced approach to fines. You can still get fined for speeding or running red lights, but it's not guaranteed. The mod's creator, frustrated with constant fines, especially after accidents caused by other vehicles, aimed to strike a balance, leaving you to wonder what you might get away with on any given day.
