How to Install ETS2 Mods – Step-by-Step Guide

Many players aren’t sure how to install mods, but it’s actually very easy, follow this simple installation guide.

Step 1: Check Your Game Version

Before downloading any mod, make sure the mod is compatible with your game version. To check your game version, simply launch the game and look at the version number shown in the bottom corner of the main menu. (See image below.)

 

Step 2: Verify That the Mod Version Matches Your Game Version

After confirming your game version, check the mod’s version as well. For example, if the mod is made for version 1.54, it will only work with game version 1.54. If the versions don’t match, the mod will be incompatible and cannot be activated in the mod manager of game. (See the image below for reference.)

 

Step 3: Download and Place the Mod File

Open any mod post on our website and click the Download button.

After the file is downloaded:

• • If the file ends with .scs, copy it to the "DocumentsEuroTruckSimulator2mod" folder. (See image below).
    
    

• • If it’s a .zip or .rar file, extract/unpack .scs into the same folder. (See image below)
