Canadian Provinces DLC in the Future?

[leeham15]

idk if this has been talked about before but as a Canadian who plays this game it would be nice to be able to go to Canada do delivers across Canada i would totally understand if there's a main focus for America its self right now but just wondering if there's any plans in the future maybe to add Canada as a dlc expansion?

Once SCS gets the 48 states done, they will do Canada and Mexico.
It's gonna be a while so don't wait up.

Hundreds of times. Easily

As long as we keep buying DLC, SCS would like to keep adding to ATS. Including Canada and Mexico.

I'd say it's head-to-head to people asking to skip all states to east coast on ATS, or asking UK revamp on ETS2. But like gallagher4005 posted, most likely after contiguous USA is complete. Just not sure if Canada or Mexico will be first.

Just as a friendly warning before putting your horses there, pay attention to what appears when you use mods of any sort:

The game contains unauthorized mods. No support is available for modified game. In case of problems or crashes try to remove your mod packs!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxdnF91uCRQ they mention Canada in fact try to understand SCS Software meaning when the game say American Truck Simulator because SCS Software basically saying American Truck Simulator is doing continent which is basically North America and South America but I understand the confusion because the word America mean that people think that they are doing American Truck Simulator because of United States of America which I get it though but now I understand that SCS Software call this game American Truck Simulator because they are trying to get every contient of America which is North America and South America meaning for North America they plan to do all 50 states, 10 Canadian Provinces and 3 Canadian territories, 31 Mexican States and etc but you can find out what SCS software are basically saying if you are still confuse about why they call this game which is American Truck Simulator by clicking on this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas.

I mean, to clarify for future grave diggers:
The plan, currently, is to do the 48 continental U.S. states. SCS would like to go, eventually, North into Canada and South into Mexico. We are voting with our wallets on how far they will go.

As for your "America" confusion, the game isn't America Truck Simulator. It's American Truck Simulator. The common conclusion drawn by the more dedicated fans is that it's a game that Simulates American Trucks and driving those in places resembling those which would have those truck designs, such as the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

To not make this reply long, to reply to "jonshelljonjon"...
I'm not going to watch that video, I'll just do this as a time thing....if it takes SCS 5 months to do one state DLC, as they have team members literally drive the state before building it...the US alone will take over 5 years to complete.
A province in Canada is HUGE. Add a year for each of those, and you said South America (using the "all America" approach), meaning you would have to add Central America...
I will go under the assumption that...
well, I would be dead before it was complete, and I would figure most of the team would have to be replaced, along with never finishing it because they would go bankrupt from all the travelling they would have to do. Also, you're not going to do all that with electric cars, if that ever becomes the only mode of transportation being forced to be a thing.

I know, the math isn't accurate, but, the expectation that they would complete 2 continents in our lifetime, seems very unreasonable.

In comparison to ETS, I feel there is a lot more detail given in ATS. That's probably why they pump out the countries there faster.

This is an opinion.

I hope SCS leaves Mexico up to Team Reforma, I think they are doing a great job on Mexico. Canada should not take anywhere near as long as the U.S. Most of the population in Canada is along the southern U.S. border. I am from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and I tried Discover Ontario once a couple years ago and it showed zero reference to the surrounding area, it had the quality of Coast to Coast. I would rather pay for SCS quality to get a decent representation.

I very much doubt that SCS is going to leave anything official up to modders.

[Madkine]

I for one wouldn't touch team Reforma's work with a barge pole, but will get any DLC on day one.

[Jonah Falcon]

It's hard to have CA and TX and not Mexico, tbh.

[BlackJakSchelack]

I am currently at the end of a delivery in Southern Mexico and I have thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I spent 2 hours in Coast2Coast and I could not get it out of my load order fast enough. Team Reforma's quality level is on par with SCS. If you haven't used Team Reforma's Mexico how do you know it is not worth touching. I do not use the free version but I am sure it is decent. I join Patreon to get the current map version then opt out and rejoin when a major update is released. I highly recommend driving around Durango, some great road work through the mountains. There is also a huge quarry in Guadalupe that I think is worth checking out.
I could not stand the quality of C2C or any of the Canadian stuff other than ProMods Canada. Alaska: North to the Future is worth picking up. I also run Great America by Voith on Patreon. Basically I follow GMC Logistics Map Mod load order, they make it super easy by providing Mod version numbers and providing links.
I am currently running 196 Mods in one profile and I am about to add one more for some new California content that was just released on truckydotio. Your game is currently good but it could be fantastic.

I can't say much about Reforma. The last time I played a map changing mod was ProMods, back in ETS2. After that, the only map mods I play are the standalone ones.

But if Reforma is made like ProMods, the main quality of it is probably only adding roads that wouldn't exist in game by default, like roads where semis are prohibited, and reusing existent assets of the game - the latter is something you see some players bashing the devs for, no matter how many new assets they create, yet they forgive modders for doing the same.

C2C is a pretty decent job considering it's literally a one-man job. But in the end, no matter if it's Reforma, ProMods or C2C, all they are just excuses to have more roads to go, no matter the quality or if we can realistically go there. That's why I prefer to wait for something official. Not only for that, but also I don't have to worry about having separate profiles for a modded map and play it without the newer game features.

Canada hates truckers. Plus more important things like add more drivers to hire. I can only staff 2/3rds of my warehouses

Fixed that for you.

Use a mod if you want more drivers
