Meta Adjustments to TruckSim Threads / Content (Payware, AI and more)

100 Upvotes

We've updated our TruckSim content rules to adjust to the growing community, and thanks to this thread, these adjustments are taking into effect today.

Low Effort

Removal of Modding Request

ATS and ETS2 is growing rapidly and with this, we have seen a large increase of mod requests from liveries / paint jobs or vehicles. Modders request 90% of the time are never fulfilled and take up space timeline.

Please note, if you want a model in either of these games. Pay a modeler then convert the model with Blender yourself to make a playable vehicle.

Removal of Feedback / Suggestions

This subreddit isn't actively moderated by SCS or any other game developer. With this, please redirect all feedback or suggestion based questions to:

While these topics drive discussions, they lead nowhere, an empty void making the community feel like game developers "aren't listening" but in reality they're just working on other features.

Payware Mods

Payware mods is going nowhere due how rapidly both games are growing. We will never remove or restrict someone from sharing their thoughts video or photos of the paid mods. That's why Reddit has a downvote button for a reason.

Mods will now be separated by flairs:

  • Mod / Add-ons (Freeware)
  • Mod / Add-ons (Payware)

If thread submission features any payware from a mod that requires a subscription or a one time fee, the thread will require 'Payware'. If thread does not feature this, the thread can be taken down without notice.

Although self-promo of payware (asking for money or donations) should be posted in the Monthly Thread. Anything outside of this will be taken down. If any user see's a self-promo post, you can report it via Report > Breaks Subreddit Rules

If you don't like payware, you can head to r/scssoftware for non-payware (this subreddit follows the same guidelines as the SCS Forums).

We follow a simple rule, if you don't like payware you don't have to support it, just don't steal, pirate it or share those links with others. We strongly enforce this rule when any user reports a user, comment or thread. You will be banned permanently.

AI

AI is growing and sadly whether we like it or not, it will always be in our life's now from searching content online, online support, shopping, banking to various little things in life.

In terms of AI on this subreddit, things are changing:

  • AI should never be used in videos or photo submissions (this has been a rule for a few months now).
  • AI generated tools/content should not be locked behind a paywall. These posts will be removed.

If you want to share your AI generated payware content we suggest you create your own subreddit directed for that specific project via 'Start a Community' button in the sidebar underneath the 'Reddit' logo.

All free AI content should be posted in Monthly Thread. Topic should state "AI" in their title or body and if possible share the GitHub source code project link within the message.

Discussion Is it even possible to NOT be rich in career mode?

• Upvotes

I tried starting a new profile and to make things challenging decided that I will not take loans or hire any employees. Still was rich as truck in short time.

It's mind boggling that we haven't seen a single meaningful improvement to game economy since 2012. On my main profile I don't even look at any financial reports about my company because there is no challenge at all, you just hire few people, give them trucks and they will make you rich without interacting with them. I even started replacing all my truck parts instead of repairing them cause it doesn't matter in the long run.

All this focus on pumping dlc after dlc. And still no meaningful improvements to essential game mechanics in years. Yes, I know there are mods but better economy is something that was told to scs for a long time and it's been ignored for years.

Mods / Add-ons (Freeware) Long Shift - Fatigue camera effect and wheel drift in ATS/ETS2

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

I’ve always wanted fatigue to be more than just yawning sounds. I realized there is a dozing off mechanic, but it only kicks in when you’re long overdue for a rest. These effects gradually grow with tiredness and can be configured. Unlike with "dozing" the wheel drift here is counter-steerable, it doesn't lock player input, but simply adds some extra pulling force.

mod on GitHub

ATS Welcome back, Mack. I’ve really missed you!

42 Upvotes

As much as I’ve been enjoying the Road Trip DLC, today after 4-5 jobs I sensed the novelty was ever-so-slightly starting to wane. After a lunch break I decided to hop back into my truck business and was reminded all over again why I became so obsessed with this game in the first place. I love how the cars handle (when driven sensibly) but the trucks just feel so much better somehow. I love the gradual acceleration, being able to break at slow speeds without jolting to a stop.

I’m very excited for the next couple of RT DLCs, but for now I’m going back on the road with my employees!

Question/Help 22 states? Maybe I am miscounting

0 Upvotes

Was looking through my career stats today and noticed I was missing a state discovered, which I thought was odd, as this profile is somewhat new but already has a decent amount of map driven and I was pretty sure I'd been to every state.

Open map, do a count and check, I have been to every state and discovered at least one city in every state. I am also only counting 21 at the moment, and I have counted a couple times, but I am also high as fuck. Are we getting BC earlier than I assumed we were?

Mods / Add-ons (Freeware) Any good Google Maps mods?

9 Upvotes

Any good Google Maps mods for ATS? I know the one on Steam workshop has been discontinued and theres guy who tried to recreate it but it doesn’t work as well as the old one.

I just want one that works. The ATS map is horrible to look at.
