Update of ProMods 1.95 Available!

Posted on May 20, 2015 | by ScuL | 14 Comments

We updated our map with version 1.95 to fix several bugs and ensure compatibility with the latest update of Euro Truck Simulator 2. You can download the updated version from our download site. And don’t forget to generate a new DEF file, since we made some changes there too!

ProMods in its original form was not compatible with the Scandinavia DLC. To give you the chance to enjoy the new DLC, we decided to release a version with our Scandinavia being removed. In this version some roads and ferry ports on the German/Danish border were changed to fit the vanilla DLC map and and make it compatible with the Scandinavia DLC.

Due to some changes in the map files of ETS2, we decided to release our current version as ETS2 1.18 compatible. This way we don’t need another update when SCS releases its next update.

Unfortunately the complexity of releasing one version that works with and one that works without the Scandinavia DLC, we came to the decision to release only the version that requires the Scandinavia DLC. But for people playing ETS2 without the Scandinavia DLC, version 1.91 is still available with help of a compatibility patch for ETS2 1.17.x / 1.18.x.

The Future of Scandinavia in ProMods

There’s no doubt that we will merge our existing Scandinavia with the one of the DLC – to provide you the best of both. This task will take several months and we only have a vague idea what parts will be used from ProMods or SCS. But you can keep up-to-date by checking our forum or social media accounts on a regular basis.

With ProMods 2.0 you will get a new and enhanced Scandinavia and we plan to include the Baltic States and the long-awaited Romania. But to connect these countries to the map, we are forced to make ProMods DLC dependent. In other words, with ProMods 2.0 and higher, you need to have both DLC (Going East and Scandinavia) to be installed.

MandelSoft from ProMods reviews the recently published Scandinavia DLC. Is it any good and is ProMods really that great in Scandinavia? This video gives an opinion of the pros and cons of both and see how good they are holding up against each other…

(Note: this is the first time I work with a script for the commentary. I still had to take a lot retakes on the voice recording)

Scandinavia DLC Review

Posted on April 13, 2015 | by Nico | 5 Comments

Today the information embargo on the Scandinavia DLC ended, hence the huge amount of information that all of a sudden hit the internet.

The coming weeks we will reveal more insights of the DLC by showing certain areas with screenshots and videos.

However our first post about the DLC will be more of an insight of the huge challenge we are facing. We already posted an article about this and now it’s time to go into more detail. We have collected some screenshots and compared them with our own areas. We will also show the world map and discuss what the best strategy will be once we get ProMods converted to the DLC. This conversion can also be influence by YOU, the daily user of ProMods. We will open a new sub forum where you guys can post what you think needs to be changed. We already have alot of ideas but we might forget certain things. This way we will try to make sure that the Scandinavia DLC will be even better with ProMods installed.

So let’s get to the details. First a couple of pictures from the DLC (These pictures are taking on locations that do not exist in ProMods or look completely different.)
