ProMods Europe v2.81: Poznan

The latest ProMods Europe update is soon upon us: ProMods Europe v2.81. This marks the completion of one of ProMods’ longest developed projects of nine years. The latest addition to Euro Truck Simulator 2 is Poznań, and its surrounding areas.

Alongside the release, we’re also publishing a brand-new trailer that takes you on a dive through the area, showcasing only some of what you can expect on your newly built western Poland, featuring cities such as Poznań, Luboń, Komorniki and more!
Let’s have a look at what this update brings.

Western Poland offers a distinctive driving atmosphere; wide open farmland, gently rolling terrain, dense tree corridors, and expansive motorway networks. In v2.81, we’ve carefully recreated the feeling of driving along the regions modern highways while maintaining the natural beauty that defines the wider area of Poland.

You can expect detailed interchanges, accurate road geometry, and long stretches of motorway surrounded by the beauty and atmosphere of scenic-highways, and industrial outskirts through western Poland.

I have never made an area for ProMods with this level of detail. I am sure the players will love to see it, after 9 years of development.

At the heart of this update lies Poznań, one of Poland’s major economic and cultural centers. The city, and its surrounding towns of Luboń, Komorniki, Września, and Konin have been designed with careful and appropriate attention to scale and detail. Each location contributes its own character, from suburban environments and service areas to larger industrial districts and highway hubs.

One of the standout features of this update introduces new custom prefabs tailored to the Poznań Region.
Most notably, we’ve added a fully custom automotive factory to Poznań. Users with the “Trailer and Company Pack” from us will notice this is based upon Volkswagen Poznań, bringing a realistic industrial presence to the area.

Additionally, to the east of Konin, you’ll find a brand-new custom motorway services, designed to be true-to-life, including a place to eat, a fuel stop, and a wonderful rest area, offering players a much more immersive break point along your route.

A large portion of our authenticity is in our details. For v2.81, we created a range of custom Polish signage, including accurate local street and motorway signs that reflect the region’s real-world standards.
In addition, we’ve continued our modelling work to introduce local bus models to populate these cities and improve the urban realism. These small touches contribute to making the Poznań area feel distinct and believable within the ProMods Mod.

Poznań felt quite empty in the base game, which inspired me to open the map editor for the first time. Over 10 years later, that decision has completely changed my life; I now work at SCS, someone else finished the original project, and my strong connection to the city pushed me to give it far more assets than most cities usually get.

Moving away from Poznan, our other change to ProMods Europe v2.81 consists of the UI. With ETS2’s latest version, SCS introduced changes to the game’s UI system. To ensure seamless compatability, we’ve updated and adapted our own custom UI messages to align with the new structure.

While not directly tied to the Poznań region, these improvements are part of the 2.81 release and help maintain a consistent and polished user experience.
We hope you enjoy exploring Poznań region in ProMods Europe v2.81. As always, we thank you for your continued support.
