Why cant i use mods in multiplayer?

[Mr Snrub]

I would like play online with some nice mods but multiplayer goes away when loading mods. Anyone know is it possible play with mods or no?

TruckersMP will probably never be mod capable.

Convoy, official SCS Multiplayer, is currently running a beta for the next game version which is mod capable. You need to be opted into this beta to run mods on Convoy.

How i can find beta version and which one is it?

[AyMazingATS]

Right click ATS >> Properties >> Betas >> change dropdown to Public Beta 1.42.

there should be a way to play multiplayer with mods ... the way is now is almost impossible to join lobbies ,,,,

Im new here - I have a related question to this thread. Ive got some engine mods loaded, if i unload the engine mod to play on multiplayer do i have to spend game currency to load the modded engine back into my truck when i carry on with single player?

Unfortunately it looks like you wrong and my fears are real... unless im missing something here. If you have modded engines loaded, then you unload all mods so you can play convoy, when you carry on single player after reloading your mods the engines are set to basic default and cost you loads of money to remount the modded ones.. Impossible to do this every time. So currently it seems you have to have 2 profiles, one for single player where you can play around with mods, and one for multiplayer mode. I guess its simulating you swapping engines out in real life.. But annoying as i like the zeemods i use on some of my trucks, i thought i could have a non modded truck in my profile set aside for convoy mode. but alas, i need a separate profile altogether.

Oh sorry i didnt really read you comment properly, now i see, you are right, but i already knew that, the problem im having is being able to play with a modded profile single player and multiplayer, if you play multiplayer, you have to remove your engine mods, if the others dont have it.. and then when you carry on single player and reload your engine mods you have to spend loads of cash on re mounting all the cool modded engines..

So if i want to play convoy i just save my single player game that has all the mods loaded, then unload all my mods play convoy, and when i want to play single player again just load up the mods and load my the last saved game that had the mods loaded.. Means i never gain anything from playing convoy but better than having to spend money everytime to reload my modded engines
