[REL] More realistic Truck Stops - 10 June

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.

From now on I will be working to make the Truck Stops even more realistic, such as more traffic options inside the Truck Stop, semi-trailers entering the weigh station, parking... etc, etc. All this, of course, to make the simulation even better:

@Trucker_71 I appreciate that, Mr.! I can say that I'm getting better and better at doing this, and I feel happy that the community is accepting this mod very well. :D

Sounds awesome @SouthernMan. I hope you can find a way for Jazzycat or SISL trailers to spawn in these truck stops as well as have all the trucks be turned off. Best of luck!

@Carfreak200 Definitely yeah buddy! I will look into the possibility of making this mod more compatible with Jazzycat or SISL. By the way, I just released the California version. :D

I really enjoying pulling up to your truck stops. I love the animations. Can I ask whether you considered adding some of the missing truck stops. Specifically in Northern California where recently SCS has changed the map. Using a trucking app I noticed in the SCS map there are no truck stops in the Sparks (East Reno) area and either side of Fearnley. IRL All are off the I-80 and mostly on the southern side. The other spot is Weed where there is a truck stop with 80 places for trucks just south of the main town. The rest area is in the wrong location on the SCS map compared to real life. It shoud be north of the junction of I-5 and the US-95.

@Oscar de Wyldde Yeah, I have updated Northern California's top Truck Stops. Old SCS locations I will not update as it will be rework. And I'm glad you're enjoying it! :D
About the Trucks Stop that SCS didn't add, it's probably because of the scale it doesn't help because it's too small.

SouthernMan, you bring truck stops to life. I just drove the truck to the rest stop you made yesterday and it makes me feel like I'm not so alone, thank you for your work.

@b1121 This is the best part of this mod! You arrive at a Truck Stop and have the feeling that you are not alone, that there are more people out there and each one is "living their life". I'm glad you're enjoying it, and thank yoy buddy! :D

People mentioning load order on the previous page.

Does this look right.
