Enhanced SCS Traffic v1.60[ON HOLD]

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.

Standard Enhanced SCS traffic is great. More Enhanced SCS Traffic is simply amazing. I think it's the best. I don't have any Frame Drops. A big thank you for making ETS2 better.
P.S.: I would like to see something similar from you for ATS2

@VirtualTruckTravels I've been experiment with some values to my preferences. My issue is that when I adjust the values for higher traffic on highways it also seems to do it on local roads. I've only seen entries related to trucks on rural areas but not for cars. Also I've noticed that traffic is more spawning on the side of highway on which Im driving while on the opposite side/direction there is less traffic. Last thing whats the differences between those: "Spawn density car very low" "Spawn density car low" "Spawn density car high"? What those very low, low and high profile means?

@MichalisRH Thank you for your kind words and support :)

@Lionv8 Spawn behavior and where traffic spawns is something SCS has decided. Personally i dont think it is too bad.
What exactly each parameters does i dont know i just wanted more traffic on daytime and less on nighttime so i experimented with numbers until i found the settings for my mod as it is today. Play around with in/decreasing frequency and count limits to get it to your liking :)

@VirtualTruckTravels I've found that the maximum value of frequency is 9.0. That limit made that traffic barely spawns in cities. I lower it so it wont exceeded the limit and now traffic in cities has been improved. I wonder if there is a cap on count limit but even if it is its way higher that the value of frequency. My question is did you change the values in traffic.data.sii file or are you using the default values? I bump some of the settings cuz they might also influence on traffic number. Internally my edit of your mod is doing very good. I need more testing and when Im satisfied I will copy the values and used them in my mod for better traffic in ats.

Yes traffic data i have raised max count to 80 in main mod and 100 in More mod. This effects how many traffic units spawn in total. I have also altered patience And safety to make traffic more calm.

Increased Safety makes Them less Likely to speed and tailgate.
Increased Patience makes Them less Likely to overtake and honk the horn when blocked.
It probably affect Lane changes too, but i have no evidence on that.
I like the traffic is in better flow and not so stressed when these parameters are increased a bit.

I really love the 'more traffic' version! It suits my needs perfectly. Thanks a lot!
Is there any chance you @VirtualTruckTravels will do ATS version of this mod?
