(UPDATED 19.06.2026) Better Raindrops v2.1.19 [ETS2 v1.60]

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.

Current version should work fine with 1.59, but I'm working on update and plan to release it after Better Flares.

Mod is updated to game version 1.59.

Changes:
- Increased number of raindrops to 100,000
- Reduced raindrops size and tweaked their physics
- Slightly rebalanced rain audio and cabin equalizer (truck cabin "soundproof" effect)
- Improved side window masks for all SCS trucks
- Slightly increased water splashes from vehicle wheels

Have a nice game and let me know if you'll find any issues! :)

P.S. The game engine currently supports very large numbers of raindrops, so you can experiment with drop_count_per_meter and set it 200,000 or even bigger (be careful though as it might hurt game performance)

Thank you so much for the update!

One question: Did you remove the truck add-on? I can't find it anymore, but I'd imagine it became somehow obsolete due to the increase in the number of raindrops.

You're welcome! And yes, you are correct about Truck AddonI It's not needed unless SCS decides to lower raindrop limit :)

Thanks again for the confirmation. After a few hours, I have to say that the updated version feels like the perfect balance between the previous version and the added raindrops from the Truck Addon. I also like the updated visual features. Great job! :)
