how increase the traffic density?

Anyone know? Sometimes seems no one is in the roads

simple way is to go into the config file and change this line:
uset g_traffic "1"

1 = default and can go up to 10 (I think)

alternatively it can be done through the console while gaming, for that you need to change these 2 line in the same config file:
uset g_developer "0"
uset g_console "0"

change both to one
once done you can open the dev console in game (while parked, or stopped at traffic lights), or in the menu with (in my case) the ~
and type in g_traffic 2 (for example)

The variable g_traffic can take any decimal (float) value from 0.0 to 10.0 with 1.0 as default.

0.0 is no traffic at all. 10.0 is crazy insane traffic jam. Somewhere between is probably what you want.

it is possible to give the values as integer (0, 1, 2, ...). The game will convert them to float.

I use Real traffic mod for ets 2 and ats. Great addition, highly recommend over console command. I use with my main save, never had issues. It is my only mod for ets 2

Just as an FYI g_traffic is not the correct or best way to increase traffic density it should be done through the def files.

g_traffic is a quick and dirty option it does come with some drawbacks. It can cause infinite loops of trains crossing rail road crossings since these are all under the traffic category.

This!

g_traffic will increase ALL traffic and not certain traffic. For more precise traffic increase making a mod (or even modifying one for personal use) would be the better idea. Of course, a mod comes with its own drawback of potentially breaking with a game update.

Though generally increasing the traffic will put more load on your CPU and if your CPU is already bottlenecking everything then having more traffic will just cause more issues.

Didn't mention modding because I didn't feel like writing an essay :-)
