This week's ETS2 picks 31 October 2026
Read this week's picksThis week: a new sky and lighting for the darker evenings, suspension that makes trucks lean and dip like real ones, and road markings instead of floating icons. The scenic route takes you through a reworked West Balkans with new cities and roads. As always, the game versions shown are what each author lists. Press Works for me on a mod's page once you've tried it, so other players know.

Why download through us?
We link, we don't re-upload
Every download button opens the mod's official page: Steam Workshop, the author's website or the SCS forum. You get the real, latest file, and the author gets the credit.
Clear about what works
Every mod shows the game version its author lists, what other players report, and "Tested by us" only when we've played it ourselves. After each ETS2 update we go back to the authors' pages, so you can see what's ready before you risk your save.
