The big WOT events are extremly great, but you don't have an active event to do every time you want to do something diferent in WOT, sometimes because there aren't any event at that time active, other because you don't have the DLC or even the game. (for players that only play in one of the games.)
Thats why I would like to suggest the addition of a smaller periodically rotated events, something that garanted that you will have an WOT event active for you all the time.
You don't need many diferent ones because will pass some time till the next time the event will repeat, that manner there will be at least one small event active for each game all the time.
Let me explain more about my idea:
This kind of events should be easy to do for the players with small duration and objetives, like for example only three/five deliveries and the distance of the work don't matter and with the event active for at least 15 days (maybe more but less than 1 month) before the rotation.(Not every body has a lot of time to play).
The events don't need a very special cause or timing, they should be things that can be done anytime in the year, and for that type of events it shouldn't matter if you have DLC because they will not requiere specific cities to pick the cargo from or deliver, soo everybody can play it and do event deliveries all over the map( Like the Covid19 Vaccines for example).
The event trailers will only appear when the event is active so if you want haul and take some pictures you should play while the event is on but maybe is good to keep the trailers in the vehicle explorer so the players can see them when they want.
With that kind of events everybody should be able to finish the event and get the achievemt(You can achieve it more than once, because the events will repeat after some time).
You don't have to model new reward objects or paintjobs (and if you do, you don't need to do a new ones each time the event repeats) I think the achievement are enough because I in my opinion in this kind of small events the people will play to haul the event trailers and take pictures, or simply to haul something different than the usual cargos and have fun.
Although the events will be the same for both games, that doesn't mean that will be active for both games at the same time, in fact to give more variety to the game i recomend activate diferent events on each game soo the players that have both games don't get bored of the same event cargo in both (for example while in ETS2 is the Concert event in ATS is the Circus one).
As optional thing maybe for that type of events the pickup and delivery zones should be in neutral places outside any company prefab to avoid search for justifications to deliver in one company or in the other, something like deliver to the midle of X street or one parking lot outside the prefabs.(And the zones could be the same for all events)
So the justification of that is to wait until you have permision to enter where the thing you are haullin is needed.(but your work end in that parking spot)
Finally with that type of events everybody should have at least one event for each game active no mather the date, or if other events are active.
Thinking about posible tematics for that type events i have this ideas for posible events, that can be used simultaneosly in ETS2 and ATS:
- Circus: A circus hired you to move arround their trailers while they are on Tour.
The objective is to move the trailers from one destination to the other. Since this days animals in Circus are forbiden in some places, the trailers for this event could be standar dryboxes or tautliners but with a Special circus paintjob(Maybe SCS circus to avoid rights), gensets trailers, or even motorhomes semis for the artist to live in, some examples:

- Art transport: A special piece of art piece will make a world tour and your hired to move it around, i was thinking in an big sculpture to be able to move it in platforms and lowloaders so you can see it or at least their form if is covered by some protective tarp, but you also can chosse paintings and move it around in standar refrigerated trailers with some museum paintjob.(But I think i would be nice the big sculpture, some examples:

- Fair Atractions: You are hired to move the trailers with the atractions from fair to fair, for this I think you will need to model some kind off atraccion trailer (you can use the already in game plataforms as base for that or the big potato event trailer, even more maybe you can do a standar atraction trailer that fit both ATS and ETS2 changing only the wheels, the lights on the back and plates and in this event you can also use the motorhome semitrailer for the people who work in the fair to live in(like the one on the circus event), and genset semis too, some examples:

- Concert: You are hired to move around the Semitrailer with the mobile stage for the Tour of a music Band (SCS metal band for example?) for this you would need a mobile stage semitrailer, and big screens semitrailers, maybe with the paintjob of the music band, examples:

- Motorsport event: you are hired to transport the trailers of an motorsport competition durind a short season.(SCS cup maybe)
For this event you can reuse the Big Screen semitrailers from the concert event, the motorhome semitrailers where the teams has meatings and add new racecar carrier/workshop trailer. examples:

- Cycling grand Tour: I was thinking in and itinerant sport event like a cycling tour, you was hired by the organizator to move their trailers from the finish of one day to the start line of the next day.
For this event you should need standar tautliners painted with special liveries of the event(to carry things like fences, banners...)and motorhome semitrailers for the press on the finish line, the big screen semitrailier, and mobile stage semi for the podium and the start presentation in the start line. some examples (From trailers of "La vuelta España", Giro and Tour use similar trailers)

- Police/Fire/Ambulances: The Police(for example) are renewing their fleet of vehicles (buying new ones or leasing new ones, if leasing the trips can be returning the old ones), you need to haul the newer models to the police stations, this is simplier car transporters loaded with police cars, (or ambulances, or fire trucks), example:

- Horses competition: Your are hired by a jockey to transport their horses trailer from one competition to the other, examples:

- Crane moving: you are hired to move a self erecting tower crane from one work to the next one, examples:

There are probably more easy events to do, like only include especial paintjobs or even only special cargos for trailers currently in game but these are the ideas that came to my mind, maybe other people can help with more ideas for that kind of "small and quick" events that would need less model work.
What do you think about that?
Any ideas for other quick events?
Greetings and keep it improving the game.
