Which games are similar to this?

Which games are similar to Euro Truck Simulator 2 in terms of simulation games, games you can just play and relax without worrying much as well as games that you can spend hundreds of hours on without getting bored of it. Like I said it doesn't have to be just simulation games.

You can try checking out your Steam Queue. You can search the Steam catalogue by typing "simulation" in the search box on Steam Features page. You can try Euro Truck Simulator 1 (lol)
You can try Scania Truck Simulator. That one's actually good for practicing how to reverse park a trailer.

Usually if you're interested in a game you can always go to that games steam store page and scroll down, all they way towards the bottom you'll see a similar games section, you can check there. THOUGH, most of the games they say are similar to ETS2 really aren't. There are some bus and train simulators that are good. Though I would highly avoid the TS franchise for trains, very poorly made.

I'd recommend Transport Tycoon for IOS.

Similar to ETS2 I suggest EMSI, Orbiter, FSX, TS2015 and perhaps the GTA Collection

"City Car Driving" is a neat one (unfortunately not on Steam), it's used in Russia to help with their licenses. Very realistic (button to put on your seatbelt, for example) and depending on the traffic settings can be a relaxing way to drive around a very detailed city:

"Farming Simulator 2015" seems like another good one. I haven't personally played it, just watched videos, but it has the same satisfying "grow your business" aspect as well as pleasant driving.

For less simulation-y I think "Banished" is very relaxing. Build a small rustic community, watch your citizens go about their lives, etc.

City Car Driving looks interesting. Is there a purpose other than driving around?

As far as I know there isn't an overall money management or company building like you find in ETS 2. They do have mod support so there are plenty of non-standard vehicles available. To me the biggest appeal is turning the traffic to super busy and suuuuuuper aggressive, and then trying to drive around. It gives me an idea of overseas driving, at least from what real life dashboard cam crashes in Russia tells me. :)

Yes, because 1. Everyone is has iOS 2. A strategy game is the same as a truck driving simulation.

The 18 WoS series by Valusoft is good, not as realistic but fun.

There's Spintires, all Russian and off road trucking

Humble Bundle has simulators on it's weekly bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Simulate lunar landing, firefighters, farming, post office and a zoo all for 1$. Bump it to 6$ and get car mechanic and cities in motion 2 as well, while 10$ adds on Space DF-9 (basically a community builder in space).

Even the 1$ option gives a bunch of games to check out and see if you like those kinds of games. :D

- Scania Truck Sim's basically like a standalone challenge mode for ETS2, although it does have freeplay.

- GTAV has really nice-feeling driving and afaik doesn't lock off the world at all, so once you get past the intro missions you can just drive and explore.

- I really like the Aquanaut's Holiday games for the PSX and the Endless Ocean games on Wii. There's also stuff like Africa on the PS3, though I haven't played that. Shadow of the Colossus is wonderful for just wandering around in.

- It's sort of loopy but Mike Oldfield's MusicVR games are free.

Anyone know of SCS's Bus Simulator ever had like freeplay modded in? It always bugged me how routes ended after a single un.
