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.

[WIP][REL] Realistic AI Traffic Pack

Realistic AI Traffic Pack v0.6 Beta
Tested on game version: 1.58 and 1.59

Download:

Steam version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... earchtext=

This is currently a simple mod that adds painted trucks, trailers, and coaches to road traffic. With this mod, I wanted to introduce a bit more realism to what we observe on the roads — worn and dirty trailers, varied but correct truck–trailer configurations, and popular transport companies.

Mod contents:

* liveries for trucks, trailers (curtain-sided, refrigerated, dump, tankers), and coaches
* several hundred curated truck–trailer combinations that spawn exclusively together: branded company sets for trucks and trailers, as well as unbranded sets with standard worn curtain-siders, reefers, and dump trailers
* a pool of trucks that can spawn with any trailers, including those added by other AI traffic mods
* a pool of trailers that can spawn with any trucks, including those added by other AI traffic mods
* definitions increasing the frequency of the most common real-world combinations, such as high-roof tractors with curtain-sided or refrigerated trailers
* definitions improving the color distribution of spawned trucks — white will be the most common color
* truck liveries including details such as emission standard stickers and “Angles Morts” decals
* Cargo Market support for Krone and Kögel trailers

Planned features:

* expanding the pool of combinations
* creating region-specific sets and assigning them appropriate spawn ratios
* adding truck tuning options (bull bars, additional lighting)
* adding new truck models (priority: MAN TG3, Iveco S-Way, Mercedes MP5, and eActros ProCabin)
* adding new coach models
* verifying whether it’s possible to add low-deck + mega trailer combinations

This is the first version of the mod, so feedback is very important to me in order to improve what needs fixing — feel free to report any bugs.

**FAQ**

1. Does the mod work with other traffic mods?
Yes. The mod is designed to be compatible with other traffic mods, such as those that change traffic density or add new vehicles.

2. What is the correct load order?
It’s best to place this mod directly below traffic density mods such as Real Traffic Density or Brutal Traffic.

3. Does the mod replace vehicles in the game?
No. That is not the intention. The mod simply adds a pool of realistic, painted vehicle combinations to improve immersion. Default game traffic and vehicles from other mods will still appear — only their spawn frequency may change due to the expanded vehicle pool.

4. Why is the mod so large?
All trailer textures are created in 4K resolution. The standard for AI traffic is 2K, but due to the lower quality and lack of detail, I chose to use 4K textures instead.

5. Can the mod cause FPS drops?
I haven’t experienced any FPS drops myself, but I’m using a very high-performance system. If you notice any issues, please report them in this thread.

Thank you for the kind words. Hearing something like that from such a legend is quite motivating :D

I secretly hope that SCS will one day take seriously what we see on the roads.

And here is another sample of AI traffic sets:

Very nice work. What types of trailers are you planning other then curtains and dump trailers? Like frigo or lowboy trailers.

Thank you so much!

I've already added refrigerated trailers and box trailers. More will follow. Tankers and silos will also be added. I don't think I'll even bother with heavy-duty trailers.

This is heavily interesting! Will tuned trucks be included in this pack, and maybe new truck models (e.g. Actros MP2, Volvo FH5)?
