ATS/ETS2 1.50 and Map Mods

[harleyfrank1959]

As SCS have announced that the next update (1.50) for both ETS2 and ATS is going to essentially totally revamp the way both games run, is it worth investing any time in reinstalling map mods now as presumably, they will all also need changing again? I am guessing here as I have no idea how Mods link into the base game.

I assume the update won't be too far in the future. Do we have any idea of timescale?

Just wait and see what happens. Jumping the gun might get you into trouble and your game might stop working.

Map Mods always need to be fitted to the a new (major) Game version, as most Map Modders lock their Maps to certain game versions to avoid people having issues if something major got changed.

If custom assets needs to be changed it will of Course take a lot longer for the modders to convert their map (as they need to rebuild the stuff in the 3d modeling tool/texture editor they use.....or wait for someone else to update them), as when they just use already existing assets.

A lot of mods will have to be reworked, not just map mods. So expect mods to take much longer to be updated this time then normally.

However it is always recommended to keep a vanilla profile for these occasions.

Engine changes may have little to no impact on map mods. Map changes and additions are more likely to have an impact.

Vanilla has become my favourite flavor...it just works regardless of updates

Vanilla profiles are the Best. No mod problems. I have 2 profiles on ATS and on ETS2. All 4 have never had any mods attached to them and Never will.

Is there a way to copy a profile in the game. I’m thinking I’d like to make a copy of my existing profile sell my trucks and remove all mods. I don’t want to lose my progress.

Everyone knows vanilla ice cream is the most commonly sold ice cream flavor world wide. Why would games be any different from this pattern?

As for the release date of 1.50 : the exact time would be "when it's finished".
Just go from there once that point in time has been reached.
