Engine Mods

[Stenleh44]

I haven’t used a lot of engine mods in the past. How do they work with both in game trucks and modded trucks?

Are there compatibility concerns i need to worry about? If a engine is not compatible would it crash game or just not be avabbile to install in truck?

With that said…are there any “must have” engine mods? Are there any I need to stay away from? I will do a search on popular engines, but just wanted to confirm with you experienced players.

I’ve been playing ATS for quite some time now…and need to change it up a bit.

Thanks again for all your input!

If you get them, get them off of the workshop or off of the SCS Forum.

I only use workshop… except for pro mods map that i tried once

Yes there are compatibility concerns
Could crash
None are "must have", although that should not discourage you from experimenting. As always it is a good idea to have a test profile to try mods on, no sense risking problems with your favorite profile(s) just on the chance that you will like an engine enough to take on the baggage that comes with it, you might not think much of an engine when you do try it.
EDIT some folks have had real heartaches with engines from Workshop, modders are under no obligation to maintain or even keep their mods available there or anywhere.

Kreicbaum's engine mod is the best on the planet. Available on the SCS forums.

Thanks for the comments.

Is the Kreichbuams engines or engine sounds? I just remembered i have that from a while back. I am not in game now…so don’t know for sure.

Do you know if it’s been updated recently?

+1 best engine mod on the planet

[Jelinobas]

I like the sound of that best and there is also more than "just" 600hp.

In addition, you can easily add your own desired trucks to any engine mod.

I’ll do update tonight if I am not on latest. I don’t think I am because the CAT engines are so damn loud and I see he did an update to lower them. I don’t even use them.

My favorite engine is the zeemods 3406e I am using it with the k100 off the workshop. First it costs 5 bucks and second I like it with the exhaust sound muted. The engine sound itself is a gem. If you do fork out the 5 bucks for it save the email they send you so you can get updates later.

I updated to 3.9....diggin' it.
Thanks again for all the suggestions
