Dear EuroTruckSimulator2 community,
it has been a long time since my last update post in this forum; a whole year passed by and I did not accomplish including additional content in any of my three mods for ETS2.
It is not because I did not spend enough time for modding but it is rather a result of the tremendous amount of time it takes to finish a mod that is not even meant to work correctly in the game due to the lack of support for swap body systems. Most tasks seem to be done in a short amount of time, however, they turn out to consume much more time than expected.

New Krone Swap Bodies
However, today I am presenting the fully reworked Krone Swap Body Pack for ETS2.
This pack consists out of 14 different swap body models, whereas many of them support up to four different door variants:
Krone Dry Box WK7,3 (R)ST (4 door variants)
Krone Dry Box WK7,3 (R)STG (4 door variants)
Krone Dry Box WK7,3 (R)STP (4 door variants)
Krone Dry Box WK7,3 (R)LI (1 door variant)
Krone Dry Box WK7,3 N2(R)ST (3 door variants)
Krone Dry Box WK7,3 N2(R)STG (3 door variants)
Krone Curtain BoxWP7,3 LS5-CS (1) (3 door variants)
Krone Curtain BoxWP7,3 LS5-CS (2) (3 door variants)
Krone Curtain BoxWP7,3 LS5-BW (1) (2 door variants)
Krone Curtain BoxWP7,3 LS5-BW (2) (no doors)
Krone Curtain BoxWP7,3 LF5-BW (1) (1 door variant)
Krone Curtain BoxWP7,3 LF5-BW (2) (1 door variant)
Krone Curtain BoxWP7,3 LF5-BW (3) (2 door variants)
Krone Cool Box WR7,3 (D)S (1 door variant)

New Skins
In addition to that the new update gives you the opportunity to select between 50 different skins. 15 custom skins are part of the swap body pack too making it possible to create small skin packs.
An important piece of information regarding skins is the limited availability for different swap body types: Not all real-life companies use all types of swap bodies provided by Krone, of course. Therefore I did not implement company skins for swap bodies that are not in use of the company in the mod since I do not like having invented skins for real-life companies.

Cargo
Previously this mod contained swap bodies as cargo. This cargo type is not and will not be included in this major update. I decided to remove this “feature” due to the high variety of the new swap body looks and variants. Even the new plateau swap bodies (LS5-BW (2) and LF5-BW (3)) do not and will not have visible cargo model as of a restriction preventing cargo models on trucks. -> Cargo models suitable for the plateau swap bodies added with Krone Swap Body Pack update v1.4

>1.356 Hours of Work.
The Krone Swap Body Pack took over 1.356 hours (~3.8 hours of time each day on average).
