Mod Recommended

[Tender]

Since i new to this game, any mod recommendation should i use?

It’s all up to you. You can start out by browsing the ETS2 workshop here on Steam. Thousands of mods to choose from.
But - be aware. Far from all mods are regularly updated to current game versions and using mods can cause some havoc to the game. So read the change history and descriptions. 👍🏻

I only use 5 mods because the more mods you use the more problems you may run into

the first mod to try in my opinion is
GDC Logistics Economy which is updated regularly and makes the economy more realistic also the fuel prices and other expenses

Also below is what i do every time there is an update or i add a new mod just follow the steps below and hopefully you will have a great trucking experience



First make sure you have verified your files and then simple run the program in vanilla first
that's a profile which has never had any mods what so ever.

simply follow the steps below if unsure


I always run a complete vanilla version which has never had any mods at all every time that a update is done or a crash happens. Then i do a quick job to test always do a complete quick job at every stage

Then i have a second profile where i test each mod for compatibility where i can remove any that are not updated making sure to do a quick job at each stage keeping any mods active that don't cause a problem

Just add one mod at a time running a quick job for each one then leaving all mods that don't cause a crash activated do the same again always make sure that you do a quick job

Then i have a third profile which is my main game profile which is always working as the first two steps make sure everything is fine.

Hopefully this will help you find any mod that's broken good luck

Right now for you? NONE!

Play the game and find out what you want to have added. Mods are a big responsibility and can easily cause issues. The more you have, the more time you need to spend managing and checking your mods.
It is always best to keep the amount of mods you use at an absolute minimum. As the game gets updated on a pretty regular basis mods will become outdated and can cause all kind of issues ranging from them simply not working to outright crashing the game.

And with 1.54 on the horizon I would avoid any physics, economy, cargo and trailer mods.

if you are new to the game, try it out *without* any mods at all. Only then you will know what in the game you want to change/customize/modify/add.

Keep in mind that mods causes a lot of issues for players, especially after game updates, if you don't know exactly what you are doing. But maybe you are more interested in solving mod issues than actually playing the game.

Mods lead to issues, issues lead to unnecessary forum posts because people never ever learning to use the damn forum search, unnecessary forum posts from such people lead to frustration ... frustration lead to the dark side.

My advise for new players: don't use mods at all before you even know what that means and what you're doing. Valid for _every_ game. No offense.

The author makes this mod for both games and the download package contains both versions. ;)

Only my opinion but the sounds Fixes Mod is a good one. Plus if you don't like the size of the virtual mirrors (F2), Then there are Mods to decrease the size and put them in the corner. I use this one.

And that's all for me, Only use two.

with the amount of testing he does for one mod using 3 profiles good idea to only use 4
