Re: How many "vanilla" gamers are we?
I went from being a vanilla gamer to be using Promods during the two first years of ETS2. Disabled Promods when the Scandinavian DLC was released and I have been a vanilla gamer again since. I'm probably just a casual gamer of ETS2 and I will probably stay that for as long as the interest for the game is still there. Already put down a total of hundred hours or so into it the last four years. I have nothing against mods, just saying it!
Re: How many "vanilla" gamers are we?
Started with ETS2 a few weeks before DLC East release. Didn´t know about mods, but after vanilla map bored me I´ve found TSM, much later Promods. Now I can´t play without Promods, RusMap etc...I love traffic packs with all sort of vehicles, flare packs, wheels´n rims, trucks, sounds. So I´m definitely not a vanilla gamer.

I'm NEVER gonna go back to vanilla game! Mods make this awesome game soooo much better!
Re: How many "vanilla" gamers are we?
I Must admit that modding the game can be an addiction
But as much as i would like to play the game "Vanilla", i also want my Actros to have the real gear ratios, plastic parts, i want better flares, lighting and vegetation, nice rims with real tire brands as well as real companies etc. etc.
All that COULD be vanilla, but i think the base game gets better and better and one or another mod can be disabled from time to time. But to get the most out of it and all its details it is also fun to search for mods , combine them or even do your own because it is such a modding friendly game after all.
I am always searching for an increased realism to make it more a simulator than a game in my specific taste - taste can vary so nothing wrong with vanilla at all!

^^^ +1
Since ETS2 and ATS are smartly designed to highly support mods, I don't think using them is a bad idea.
Although vanilla map is getting amazingly better with every new DLC, it still doesn't cover the entire Europe, and obviously doesn't include many of the trucks and accessories I use.
Anyway, I always have a vanilla profile, and switch between profiles depending on where I want to drive each day.

Re: How many "vanilla" gamers are we?
How would you hardcore vanilla gamers look upon what I'd call Vanilla mods? I mean mods that add Vanilla stuff.
Currently there is a mod that makes the company gates move, just animating something that is already there. Then there are two mods letting you have the VLF harvesters and tractors on all local roads. I guess this is something that SCS will come up with anyway some day, as the sparse presence of these highly detailed vehicles is most likely a shakedown on how the feature will be recieved (I like it a lot; however I had to turn down the spawning considerably, as both mods work with 0.3, so you see both of them definitly every time you do, let's say, Carlisle-Newcastle with traffic at max.)

Re: How many "vanilla" gamers are we?
I been so addicted to mods and at some point it got out of hand, when you have 1Tb HDD filled with mods for this only and that is not even with Promod and those heavy truck mods and you have another hdd filling up with mods your trying to make.. I have cleaned up now and my mod folder atm is only around 1Gb, im cleaning out slowly, but im getting there very soon and then my mod folder will be empty. It's only a matter of days now.
Im pretty sure i will be so glad when it is empty
*Edit, now down to 28Mb in mods And when SCS comes with the new Scania, then it will be 0Mb in mod folder.
