Proper load order for Maps

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Question: ATS mounts and unmounts all mods in the MODS directory when loaded. Is there any advantage to removing mods from MOD directory that are not in use for the current gaming session especially map mods?

Thanks

Loading time, maybe ? Even more if you don't use a SSD drive

Seems every mod ever loaded across all profiles are recorded and logged even with vanilla profile session is started.

Thanks.

You're on the right track, but it needs sorting a bit better. Map mods go at the very bottom.

Taken from Vinnies post:

1. General Load Order

Backgrounds (Map background)
Sounds
Graphics / Weather
Physics
Tuning Parts
AI mods / Traffic
Skins
Trailers
Trucks
Maps

Make sure you follow this. It will lessen the chance any of any problems occuring.

2. North America

Fullscreen Map for ATS v1.40 (download here)
<put here the Background file(s)...> 1)
Midwest Expansion (Beta) (filename: midwest_expansion_c2c_required.scs)

Hello MercilessFir!

I don't use this map, sorry. For more information, look here: viewtopic.php?t=280929 and here: viewtopic.php?f=201&t=292914 (Vinnie's page) Vinnie seems to know this map better than me,
you can talk to her if you want.

Good Luck!
