by Andrew Feb 02,2025

Enhance your Euro Truck Simulator 2 experience with these top ten mods! Ten years on, and ETS2 continues to deliver, but modding takes it to another level. With built-in mod support, the possibilities are endless. Here are some of the best:

Trucks and cars driving along a road.

  1. Ultimate Real Companies: Inject realism by replacing fictional in-game companies with real-world brands like Ikea and Coca-Cola. A subtle but effective enhancement.

  2. ProMods: This expansive mod pack adds 20 new countries, over 100 new cities, and hundreds more to existing in-game locations. Requires some DLCs, but well worth the download (though sizable).

  3. Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather: A significant visual upgrade, enhancing weather effects, water rendering, and fog, creating a more immersive and atmospheric driving experience.

  1. TruckersMP: Experience ETS2 with others! This popular multiplayer mod offers servers with up to 64 players, public events, and a shared map to track fellow truckers' progress.

  2. Subaru Impreza: Fancy a change of pace? This mod lets you purchase and drive a Subaru Impreza, offering a different driving experience compared to the game's heavy trucks.

  3. The Dark Side Roleplay Mod: Team up with friends for some illicit activities! This mod introduces illegal cargo, transforming your trucking career into a thrilling smuggling operation.

  4. Traffic Intensity and Behaviour Mod: Tired of empty roads? This mod increases traffic density and realism, including rush hour congestion, adding a new layer of challenge and immersion.

  1. Sound Fixes Pack: Refine your auditory experience with this mod, adding new sound effects, improving existing ones, and adding realistic tire sounds based on the road surface.

  2. Realistic Truck Physics Mod: Experience more realistic truck handling and suspension, enhancing the simulation aspect of the game.

  3. More Realistic Fines: This mod adjusts the game's penalty system, making fines less frequent and more context-dependent, adding a layer of strategic risk to your driving.

These ten mods offer a range of enhancements, from subtle realism boosts to significant gameplay alterations. Level up your Euro Truck Simulator 2 journey!
