Must have mods?

[DedMemeXD]

I just started adding some mods to improve my trucking experience, Im mostly looking for realism mods, so I went to the most popular mods of all time setting and added some of them.Are there any "must have" mods ? I don't know much about the modding community and I wanna explore , lookin for some suggestions ^^

Keep a backup, keep a vanilla profile for WoT events, prepare to roll back game version from time to time. Mods may broke and even screw saves permanently, so secure a working backup. Suggestions will follow soon enough (from other users) ; )

Yes, there are some. Traffic, rain, and others. I made collection for you, take a look.

I like this one...it really adds some nice trees and foliage...it also makes the environment in general look better...with no loss of frame rate ( at least for me)

Promods map. Tried it once, now can't play ETS2 without it. Pity it isn't on Steam, but totally worth going to the site to get it.

If you like expanded and more derailed map, ProMids is excellent! Note that you need all map DLCs from SCS for it to work.

Steam Workshop has plenty if moded trucks, trailers, traffic, UI and many other kinds of mods. None of them are required. or nesseccary must have, that is up to you what you like and want.

You can filter and sort the workshop by popularity and rating. Pick the mods ,YOU are interested in. Try them out yourself.

Thk u all for ur tips

As has been said have a separate profile, more so if using Promods since when an update comes Promods wont work. Also when an event like the current Halloween event does come, Promods can screw things up.

AS OP have said it's good to have a profile that's vanilla for when the game is updated and a profile that has ProMods and everything else as far as mods go...you only have to wait a few days until ProMods latest version gets updated....as far as other mods go...sometimes they work on the current version and sometimes they don't...depending on the author keeping them updated and how old they are...I try to keep at least 2 going all the time...and keep my "serious" one going with updated mods.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Depends on the Mod. Things like truck accessories, truck/trailer skins, additional trailers YES, BUT .. Before Deactivating those mods, you need to sell ALL the Modded parts/accessories/trucks/trailers/etc. so that you don't get errors from missing parts.
-Things like Map mods, NO, you can not remove them once installed without seriously messing up your saves/profile.

I'm only looking for better graphic mods , can they mess up my game once a new patch or event comes out ?

[DedMemeXD]

And physics/real logos realism mods and such

[DedMemeXD]

The question is that I had mods on my acc and now I removed em , am I good ? Hope when the next patch comes out I won't lose my save file since I removed em
