The Simplest Way to Get the Most Realistic Graphics in ATS

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.

Are you referring to the "Realistic Graphics Mod" by trainguy_gaming? It seems like he combines skyboxes from other popular mods like "Realistic Brutal Graphics And Weather" and "Weather 3.2".
Yes. No wonder it gave me a vibe of familiarity. Besides, its immensity astounded me.

While its impressive what he can do from outside the game, I wont consider using it as long as it hasn't a full weathersystem.

The weather and skyboxes bring so much more to the game then polished graphics do. But that's just my 2 cents.

Updated July 26, 2025:
  • The sharpness shader I recommend now is Mode 3 (FineSharp.fx).
  • I've added Weather 3.3 and its "Low Saturation" addon: the mod now features more weather types than the default game, and the addon makes everything look more realistic. Download the official "Low Saturation" addon from the original author here: viewtopic.php?p=2047847#p2047847
  • I've also added the best NVIDIA graphics settings.
