For a long time, the areas now covered by SCS’s Nordic Horizons DLC were ProMods territory. We knew these roads, these towns, and these landscapes well, and with v2.82 over the horizon, we’re returning to them. Today we’re giving you a first look at what we’re bringing to the Nordic Horizons area, with two countries represented and more still to come.

The headline that we’d like to show is Kristiinankapunki, a small coastal town on the western coast of Finland. This is a location that we’re particularly pleased to be sharing. Never announced before.
The town has beenbuilt and merged into the wider Nordic Horizons area, reskinned to align with the visual standards and atmosphere we’ve established across the region. Sitting quietly on the Gulf of Bothnia, Kristiinankaupunki adds a stretch of Finland’s coastline that was previously absent, and brings with it the kind of unhurried, scenic driving that this part of the world does so well.

Those of you on Social Media will have seen a preview on this already.
If your memory goes back even farther, you may recall that this area first appeared in ProMods back in 2022, over four years ago. With v2.82, Seinäjoki and Kaustinen are returning, brought up to the standards of the current map and reintegrated into the Nordic Horizons region.

Alongside the towns themselves, we’re reintroducing two roads that make this stretch genuinely useful for long-distance routing. Road Vt19 runs directly from Tampere to Kokkola, offering a clean bypass of Vaasa for drivers who know where they’re going. Road Kt63 takes a quieter path through the villages of Kauhava, Evijärvi, and on into Kaustinen itself the kind of road that rewards drivers who aren’t always in a hurry.

Crossing into Norway, we’re also introducing Lødingen; a location that some of you may already recognise. Sharp-eyed members of our Discord community spotted it earlier this year through one of our Guess the Location posts in March, and the response made clear it had struck a chord.

Lødingen is a brand new asset for ProMods, and its placement isn’t accidental. This is a location chosen with the future of our Norway coverage firmly in mind, and while we’re not ready to say more than that just yet, we think those who know the region will understand why it matters.

One of the most visible aspects of any road trip, virtual or real, is the fuel stations. They’re a constant presence on motorways and highways across Europe, and their branding is deeply familiar to anyone who has driven through the continent. With the next release of the Trailer & Company Pack, we’re expanding our real-world gas station coverage significantly, and today we want to give you a closer look at what that means.

The Trailer & Company Pack (TCP)’s approach to gas stations is built around a dual layer system. For every real-world brand that we introduce, a corresponding de-branded asset exists for players who use ProMods without the TCP active. Regardless of your setup, we are making sure that you see a high-quality gas station model.
The focus is on the TCP, ensuring that these gas stations carry their real identity, colours, signage, and feel that you’d recognize from the real road.

Bringing real brands into the game isn’t always straightforward. Some existing station designs within ETS2 are generic, and capturing the feel of a real forecourt sometimes means revisiting the structure, signage, or assets from scratch. The goal throughout has been the same though: ensuring authenticity when using the Trailer & Company Pack.

Real-World gas station branding is already present through the first phase of this project, which exists across France, Germany and Italy. Our aim moving forward is to cover every “DLC Area” from SCS, with coverage coming in the next TCP release through Greece, Western Balkans, Scandinavia, “benelux” and Nordic Horizons areas.
Work on Iberia is also underway, and we hope to have that region covered too.

Gas stations are one of piece of a much larger picture. The TCP’s goal is to bring real-world branding through every corner of the ETS2 experience; from the companies that you deliver to, to the billboards and rest stops along your route.

These updated gas station works are planned for inclusion in the next release of the Trailer & Company Pack.
We thank you for your continued support, as always.

One of France’s most important highway corridors is getting the attention it deserves. With the planning starting for the next iteration of ProMods, we’re pleased to share a first look at our rework of the A4 Motorway, stretching from Reims in the hart of the Champagne region all the way Easy to Strasbourg on the banks of the Rhine.
This is a route that connects two of France’s most historically and culturally distinct cities, and we’ve worked to ensure that the drive reflects that.

The A4 is one of the major arteries of eastern France, and it’s ground-up overhaul has been created to more accurately reflect the real-world alignment of the corridor, with improved carriageway layouts, more accurate interchange designs, and smoother transitions between the motorway and surrounding networks.

Eastern France is quietly stunning, and this corridor captures that well. From the open vine-lined plains around Reims that give way to the denser, more wooded terrain as you push further east; the scenery has been reworked to match that character. The drive should now feel purposeful, a major route through Eastern France.

Long-Distance driving means long-distance rest stops, and the A4 delivers that. We’ve reworked the service areas, and rest stops along this stretch to feel much closer to their real-life counterparts: functional, familiar, and appropriate positioned for a route of this scale.

and of course.. it would not be France if we did not mention Toll Booths! The A4 has no shortage of them. We’ve made sure to represent these faithfully, because authenticity cuts both ways.

The A4 Rework is planned to release as part of the next ProMods Europe update. We thank you for your continued support as always, and look forward to sharing more of what’s coming soon!
