How to Reset Your Game's Economy

Introducing an economy mod into your game can often mess up your game's economy, leaving you with no jobs to take. In that case, resetting your game's economy is your best option. Follow this guide and learn how to do it, it will come in handy.

Introduction

Introducing an economy mod into your game can often mess up your game's economy, leaving you with no jobs to take. In that case, resetting your game's economy is your best option. Doing that will reset and repopulate your jobs list (Quick Jobs and Freight Market) and return you to your home garage. Before resetting your game's economy, make sure you have finished with your last job as to not lose money, progress and experience. It is best to do this when you are roaming freely.

Below are two methods that you can use to reset your game's economy: both will work, choose the one you prefer.

Method 1: Config File

This method utilises changing your profile's configuration file. Follow these steps:

1. If your profile is stored locally, follow step 1.1. If your profile is stored in the Steam Cloud, follow step 1.2.
   1.1 LOCAL PROFILE: Go to My Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles and find your profile. This can be hard if you have multiple profiles. Profile folder names are the hexadecimal equivalents of your profile name, so you can use an online hexadecimal to text converter to find your profile easily.
   1.2 STEAM CLOUD PROFILE: Go to My Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\steam_profiles and find your profile. This can be hard if you have multiple profiles. Profile folder names are the hexadecimal equivalents of your profile name, so you can use an online hexadecimal to text converter to find your profile easily.
   
2. Open the file named config_local.cfg in the profile folder in your preferred text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
   
3. Find the line uset g_force_economy_reset "0" and change the 0 (and only the zero!) to a 1. Save the file.
   
4. Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2 and load into your profile. You should receive a warning message saying Game change detected, etc. This means your game's economy has been reset successfully.

Method 2: Game Console

This method utilises the game console. Follow these steps:

1. Enable the developer console if you haven't yet. Instructions on the SCS Software Forum: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=61852.
   
2. Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2 and load into your profile.
   
3. Open the console.
   
4. Type in uset g_force_economy_reset 1 and press the ENTER key.
   
5. Save your game and exit the profile (or the game).
   
6. Load into your profile. You should receive a warning message saying Game change detected, etc. This means your game's economy has been reset succesfully.

The game has shown "Game data has been modified..." but fast money's function is still not implemented, why?

Does this ONLY reset the job market?

If you are using an economic mod which messes things up so badly that you end up with no jobs to do, then the first, best, and most important step to take is to uninstall that crap mod and run the game without it! :-D

@BiceNice you need to enable the game console. go into config.cfg in the ETS2 documents folder, open as text file, find "uset g_console" and make sure that it isn't set to zero, but one. Once it's set to 1, save and then the console should work.

@robi I knew the cause of the problem and I had canceled the game update but thank you for your efforts and good luck
