MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL v1.0 ETS2
“MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL” is a widely recognized mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) aimed at replicating Brazilian roads and cities, providing players with a unique transport simulation experience in Brazil.
Main Features:
Brazilian Cities: The map features multiple cities in Brazil, particularly focusing on states in the Northeast like Pernambuco and Paraíba. There are references to a more extensive map, “Explorando a América,” which claims to include over 900 cities across 27 Brazilian states and 12 South American countries. It’s essential to verify whether this is the same mod or a different/paid variant.
Free: The majority of “MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL” versions are available at no cost.
Compatibility: The map is regularly updated for compatibility with the latest ETS2 versions (e.g., 1.50, 1.53, 1.54, depending on the mod version).
Additional Content: Certain versions come bundled with trailer and wheel packs, removing the need for additional downloads.
Loading and Scenarios: The map aims to provide immersive scenarios and a cargo loading system.
Not 100% Simulated: While the design is impressive, keep in mind that the map may not be entirely accurate in scale, though the cities are sequenced correctly.
How to Download and Install (General Step by Step):
1. Check Compatibility: Ensure the mod version you’re downloading aligns with your current version of Euro Truck Simulator 2.
2. Downloading the Files: The map typically comprises several parts (e.g., Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and an optional Part 5 for those without certain DLCs). Download all necessary parts.
3. Extract the Files: The mod files are usually in `.scs` format (or compressed in `.rar`/`.zip` that require extraction). Use software like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract if needed.
4. Move to the “mod” Folder: Transfer all `.scs` files of the map to the `Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod` folder.
5. Create a New Profile (Recommended): It’s advisable to create a new profile in ETS2 for using the map to prevent conflicts with other mods or the default Europe map.
6. Activate Mods in the Mod Manager:
Open Euro Truck Simulator 2.
From the main menu, select “Mod Manager.”
Activate all components of the “MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL.” The activation order is important and is usually specified by the mod developer (e.g., Part 1, Base, Complement, Real Traffic, No Europe, Real KM). Follow the recommended sequence.
Common Order (may vary):
American Brazil Map (Part 1)
American Brazil Map (Base)
American Brazil Map (Complement)
American Brazil Map (Real Traffic – if available)
American Brazil Map (No Europe – if you wish to drive exclusively in Brazil)
Real KM (if you prefer real mileage, generally positioned above “No Europe”)
Confirm changes.
7. Change the Map Module: While creating or editing your profile, on the map module selection screen, select the option for “MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL” (usually labeled as “Brazil.mbd” or similar), instead of the default “europe.mbd.” This step is essential for proper map functionality.
8. Select the Starting City: Upon starting the new profile, maneuver the map to locate Brazilian cities and choose your starting city.
Important Tips:
Always watch tutorials: The mod developers often release detailed videos on YouTube that explain the download and installation process for each map version. This is the best way to ensure you’re following the correct order and requirements for the version you downloaded.
DLCs: While some mods offer an optional part for users without all DLCs, it’s generally recommended to have all official ETS2 map DLCs for the optimum experience and to minimize compatibility issues.
