How to install mods on ETS2

[Uzi]

TLDR version. Learn to back up your known good NON MODDED profile first before playing with mods, unless you don't care about lost game time that is.

If I may suggest any new to this sort of thing that read this check out this video first
before jacking around with mods with this game or ANY game as it is relevant.


How to do it safely and a guideline on what to do with game saves/ profiles before jacking with (installing) game modifications.

Watch it all as the English gent there does provide procedures you can use to protect you
valued game profile.
It may not be relevant at all with the mods he uses but the point is the procedures one uses
to keep track of what one has done over time for those of us incapable of using notepad and or paper and pencil.


Plus, as a American I find listening to British sounding people amusing and relaxing.
You may too.

Thanks for this very detailed information on mod installation. I'll have to send a special thanks to DaSquirrelsnuts for the awesome video too.

ANSWER:

Download mods. If they are in an archive, look inside to check if there are more than one mods. Normally, the mods have the file extension scs. Plain zip works, too. Extract them from the archive, if that is the case. A mod must is a single file. If you end up with more files with extensions such as sii or other than zip or scs, then you've gone too deep with the archive unpacking.

How do you amend this part? Should just deleting this and unraring again provide me with the single .scs file needed?

I downloaded a Mod which produced folders and .sii files when unraring.

Thanks

Hi, I have a problem with downloading mod from workshop. I just wanted to download some mods from Workshop but I don't understand they are downloading or not. It just said Downloading MODs (1 left) but never finishes.

This is my internet speed test;

I don't know what I need to do for downloading workshop from steam, am I doing smt wrong?

Just subscribe for mods from your browser, not in-game. Choosing mods is not a fast process anyway, so why doing it from inside the game?

Also, have you tried to leave Mod Manager and enter it again? Restart a game?

[xwerswoodx]

Yeah I tried all but I solve it with restarting computer, I think I need to be restart steam to download mods, I don't know why, but when I restart computer and run the game, it works.

I'm on mac OSX & Steam and fail to install mods since the directions are written for PC owners.
I believe it is impossible to overrule the Steam mod manager by manually installing mods anywhere in the directories.

Happy to be proven wrong anyway. I guess I'm the only mac user on this forum so I have to find it out on my own

Edit: I tried replacing the contents of a mod I don't use anymore but Steam deleted it from the list immediately.

A simple Google search for 'ETS2 mods mac' will give you the solution. Regarding Steam mods, they are located in the Steam instalation folder-> steamapps folder-> workshop folder.

Those instructions are from last year and don't work in 1.25
