TRUCK MODS WONT SHOW AT DEALERSHIP

[Venzy17]

Hello everyone, ive downloaded some truck mods for ATS and they show up in the mod area on the main screen but when i go to buy one it doesnt show up at the peterbilt or kenworth dealership. Any ideas? because i cant figure it out.

Make sure you have enabled them in the mod manager, they should appear on the list on the right side of the screen.

i have but they still wont show. i did however, notice that it says something about modifications not being supported? would that have anything to do with it?

Make sure the truck mod you are using supports the latest version of ATS (which is 1.29).

Also make sure your profile has sufficent XP level as sometimes trucks/upgrades require specific level of XP before you can see/buy them.

No, it's the standard disclaimer.

Are you *sure* the mod is *supposed* to appear in either of those dealerships? If not, have you checked the Volvo dealerships?

[edit]
Also, check the truck browser to make sure it's actually making into the game. If it's not there you might want to check the game log.

if you downloaded the volvo vnl 670 mod -> volvo got a separate dealer (3, to be exact)

but if you read the mod description you should know that

Lauch the game and load your profile and then click About at the bottom of the screen (next to the quit button) then click Truck Browser

okay so the trucks do not show up in the browser, what do i do?

Okay so i figured out that only one of the mods i downloaded (which was a trailer mod) worked because it was a zip file and the rest were 7z or rar or scs files. im really confused on what to do

Are the mods updated for 1.29? I find that any trucks made for patches below 1.28 will not show up ingame.

Here's a quick & simple rundown:

• .SCS - No need to do anything special with these, just copy them into your mod folder.
  
• .ZIP - This may or may not need to be extracted. Check inside it, if you see any .SCS files in there, extract them into your mod folder. If you see some folders and files then treat it as .SCS above (especially if it contains the file 'manifest.sii').
  
• .7z; .rar etc - These will need definitely need extraction.

[edit]

A slightly more in-depth rundown:

.SCS files are .zip format archives using the .SCS extension to distinguish them from 'ordinary' library archives. .SCS files should be valid ATS/ETS2 mods 'as-is' and can be copied directly into the mod folder. ATS/ETS2 mod archives are ordinary .zip format archives with the exception that sound files can not be compressed.

.ZIP files *might* be valid mods, or they might be library archives containing valid mods, you can't be sure without looking inside.

The game will only accept either .SCS or .ZIP extensions as valid mod extensions. Anything that's archived with some other format (7zip, RAR etc) can't be seen by the game as a valid mod, so it will be a library archive containing the mods inside it (which must be extracted).
