30 Mods that Transform ATS into a Realistic Trucking Game

[@busy_and_broke]

As the author of the GDC Logistics Realistic Fuel Prices mod; I'm happy to see that such a popular member of the ATS/ETS2 community is using and promoting my mod. Thank you very much Toast.

[@ncwildchild9216]

Love your mod can't wait to see what you make in the future.

[@elnewbie2611]

Your mod is top bro, keep that great work 🙌

[@xxhalfbakedgamingxx7644]

I use your mod and I love it

[@anthonyshalda4332]

I wish your mod made the game more UNrealistic 🤣

[@babaganoosh1969]

Now you need to make a out of diesel fuel mod to add at random gas stations...

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

As boring as most people would think it is, I think the game should have a tutorial phase where you can go to trucking school to master everything and get your CDL and you can either lease a truck to work for a company or buy your own to build your own business when you graduate. Sims but for trucking.

[@jesperviktorsson8027]

Agreed 100%

[@ryanlawrence1764]

Agreed it just throws you in the deep end lol

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

@@ryanlawrence1764 legit and my ass can’t back up for shit lol

[@ryanlawrence1764]

@@TheRealJohnMadden haha yeah I'd like to do some training for the double and triple trailers

[@soggybogwitch]

Nah, I agree. The current career progression is totally unrealistic. Like your not gonna do a dozen freelance gigs and then get your own truck. I feel like a really old SCS game 18 Wheels of Steel had that progression where you were a company driver first and then you could graduate to like an Owner-Operator or start your own business and that would just feel so much more immersive, to me

[@dhblan8591]

Hi Toast. Thanks for presenting these terrific mods. The best part is that they are all mostly from the Steam Community or SCS forum. Hopefully, every helps to protect mod creators by only downloading from a trusted site, and not re-upload these mods somewhere else.

[@trulylondon1]

I can admit, the Real Traffic Density mod made the whole game WAYYY more realistic. Traffic in downtown feels like you're just driving on the outskirts of any city, barely any traffic.

[@NutjobGTO]

Gonna admit, the light traffic is a real plus for me. I have to fight it every day driving the real rigs, why put up with it in a fantasy game? Then again I'm also running around in a bulletproof supertruck with a helicopter bubble for a cab, so...

[@katt7836]

Dude, the mods that you show on this videos, all of them together make the game 3 times better, i download most of the mods that you show here, and play with all of them active at the same time and i have a much better experience with these mods, thank you for showing me that any game can be better with mods i am eternally grateful for that.

[@toastcz]

Thanks for the comment man! Glad that you like it ;)

[@tuneboyz5634]

thats great little Kitty 🙂

[@Steve-ny1si]

Where do you go to download these mods from a legit creator?

[@midlifehemi88]

Do you happen to know how many of the mods shown here work on TruckersMP? I'd love to use most of them but I often play on TruckersMP and I have a feeling some might not work there

[@JLPetter]

Wonderful how you present all these mods. I love the way you edit these vid's. And I find your vid's very useful, a nice source of inspiration.

[@Mr.ElPelonLeoos]

I just can't find them on steam!

[@gunmunz]

10:52 Very realistic cause if you see Obi wan Luke or Vadar as your co-driver you know that its time to find a place to sleep.

[@MuskokaMatt91]

My CDL teacher said "you know you're tired when you see a purple dragon go past you" 😂😂

[@Kaan777]

I was about to search some mods and the notification came out! Glad to see it, thanks from now Toast!

[@CJr_M]

Same

[@lukerumsey7093]

the rain one is prefrence, cold rains good but I often find even with wipers on the fog to be too dense/visibility too small, which is why I use Realistic Rain instead, but brutal weather is the best for lighting weather

[@mick4316]

If you use the swift skin your truck won't be able to back up properly.

[@jrstreams1227]

😂

[@RonaldPlett]

The most important for more realistic game play can be changed in setting. It's to widen your fov. It makes the truck speed feel realistic and the braking distances

[@IamAW]

A lot of bangers in here, I hope the ones I picked are up to date. Thank you for putting this together.

[@dheerajrao]

Thanks for making this!

[@vadim5147]

Man, thank you so much!! You did incredibly great job! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@asagoodfriend]

This is just extreme level of hardwork and dedication towards the entire gaming community! For someone who's just started ATS do guys recommend switching to these MODS quickly or try out the Vanilla version first?

[@papapuffin9181]

Do mods, vanilla honestly is kinda rough around the edges

[@asagoodfriend]

@@papapuffin9181 yeah dropped in lots of mods, the gameplay turned out to be more fun and realistic types! Thnx for the heads up amigo! 👍

[@hampter1279]

This was surprisingly well edited for a compilation video. So coming from someone who never comments; good job

[@jonhcena3809]

hi toast thanks a lot for the video just both ats a couple weeks ago and found the mod scene kinda week until i found your chanel u gave a new life to this game for showing this mods 💛

[@AlanRoehrich9651]

Wow. The sim itself looks pretty cool. But the mods look awesome. As a guy who used to drive, decades ago, this interests me. I might find myself willing to spend some money and time, *IF* the sim, or the SIM and mods, will allow me to build a hard core old school truck from my era. For instance, if I could build a Peterbilt 359, 260"-270" wheelbase, juiced 8V-92 TA Detroit, Spicer 6 over 4 transmission, etc, I could probably convince myself to spend the time and money. Thanks for posting this video, great job!

[@R6-D2]

0:29 Whoever came up with this idea doesn't know jack sheet. 😆🤣

[@tobiandobito3736]

Yea those are not scratches. Plus scratches are harder to see. I would prefer a dirt texture for the windshields.

[@aicontrolled]

very nice mods but some link dont work anymore. can u update them?

[@YourLocalCountryBoy23]

Random Road events is actually in th game itself inthe settings lol

[@DB7GamingSimulator]

Great video man!!! I think I'll add some of them 😎👌🏼

[@SquatPenguin2]

Google Maps was the only one I had downloaded. Can't wait to have a computer again and use all of these.

[@TheBigMaxYT]

11:50 yeesh, I dunno if I’m ready for realistic fuel prices in 2023…

[@redbelliedgaming]

The wheel pack and the sound packs as well as the rusty wheels and rusty trailer pack are some of my favorite

[@VegaVermilion]

Great mods all around, you showcase the mods very well and I will most likely be using most if not all of these. - I actually use a good portion of them already so now I have more to add to make the game better! Ty

[@WiscoGuyGaming]

Amazing mods! I'll now be using severl of these in my ATS game. Thanks for sharing!

[@Chris-Rife]

wear and tear should be in the vanilla game, every truck in game looks brand new even with 800,000 miles lol

[@gamernorbbika]

Great mods for the great game ! 👍🚛

[@Kot.20]

how do you use jazzcat's cargo pack

[@maxencelecluse85]

Just started ATS, great video 👍🏽

[@LCStyler27]

I never thought of using mods, but after this video maybe I will try

[@H.EL-Othemany]

You're missing out.. mods are literally a game changer

[@thientuong9775]

I think the intermittent long Freight train pack should have 2, 3, 4 and more locomotives and more manifest train or long mixed freight train

[@willterrell852]

its unfortunate that 70% of these are out of date and wont see a update

[@justwowmanplays2941]

Here I am playing damn near vanilla with maybe 6 or 7 mods for textures and cargo. I have all map dlcs and have been enjoying every second of it but I can guarantee I'll be subbing to most if not all these mods when I jump on next, thanks a bunch!

[@grindjunkiestv]

Awesome video man. Crazy how many mods there are

[@stupidsnek]

I want a mod that makes the trucks handle like they would in real life

[@swiftxxw0lf]

6:20 the guys description for this mod (on steam) gave me a good laugh for about a hour and haven't used it yet (I'm busy right now while typing this and haven't had a chance to log in.

[@travistharp4215]

Thanks for the info I need a good mod selection. I’ve been playing for about a year off and on and just now got my own truck lol

[@wakcedout]

Def some things ill be checking steam workshop for when I buy this game next sale.

[@XxSoGRAMBOxX]

Which mod adds smoke to come out the exhaust stacks like in the thumbnail?

[@knight896661]

The first one on the list in the description of the video

[@XxSoGRAMBOxX]

@@knight896661 I found it now. Doesn't look that great imo

[@williamhux4737]

I'm already using some of these mods. Want to use more, but I'm having a lagging or stuttering every so often and can't find out if it's a mod causing it. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.

[@adamdion7574]

Most likely a traffic pack

[@williamhux4737]

The only one close to traffic is real companies and billboard signs.

[@Pboy7272]

I'm surprised I didn't see realistic traffic light patterns / times. I can count on one hand how many times I've gotten a green light 🤣

[@chacorta3478]

Clicked the video hopping for the rolling coal mod but was disappointed.

[@be1tg]

always a worthy post @Toast . thanks my love xx

[@KrimProducXion]

Merci, Thank You !

[@twistedleo841]

Love these videos man I appreciate it . So much .makes my streaming and video purposes so much more realistic

Hezký video, třeba si jednou i ty ATSka namoduju 👌😄

[@toastcz]

No, nekecej, kdo to tady je 😮

[@playerzero0000]

Why did I have to see this video?? Now I’m going to go down the rabbit hole of ATS mods and download too many for my pc to handle lmao

[@NekoJax]

Thank you for the video! ive downloaded most of the mods and I hope to get back into ATS!!

[@nathanielalcantara]

Can't wait to mod my play through

[@redbelliedgaming]

I used almost all of these and they are amazing, great for realism for sure

[@forzafunzone8575]

just started playing this week deff gonna try these

[@BosstyGaming_YT]

I don’t play the game but I seen people play it. And I hope this month would actually go great with the game

[@BosstyGaming_YT]

I meant that I haven’t played it yet

[@DonForceFeedback]

So you had the thumbnail show a mod that adds smoke to the exhausts, but didn't include it in the video.... Fantastic job right there! *slow clap* Then again that's the only thing I want to complain about with this video 😄The rest is great and edited well.

[@AnthraXaXis]

I didnt see the smoke like your thumbnail shows? anyone else see the smoke?

[@HU1212ICAN3]

You didnt even show the exaust mod. Good job.

[@realRohit001]

Nice video. Keep doing these mod videos👍

[@frankbo25]

I was hoping for one that made the Freightliners leak in random spots when it's raining lol

[@GreysonFarias]

Thanks for sharing this great video

[@brockgaming.4280]

thanks for the info bro i need this stuff bad, i really like every mod here

How do u customize the SISL mega pack … some of them are picture frames that say customizable.. how I put a picture of my wife on it.

[@AmillionCo]

😂

[@mastine]

Amazing Video 👏🏽👏🏽

[@MiguelitoMacuarito]

Los mods funcionan para la demo?

[@Tomcat05warpup]

I wish this game was on console looks so fun, plus I literally live for semi's. Hope to get my cdls in a few years

[@unhomme8906]

Love the video and the first music track too! I guess it is a NCS track but I love it!!

Hello Toast! What an amazing and well edited video! Thanks! 😎

[@FloppyFiona]

You deserve a follow, sir💖

Truck World Australia is around the corner, realism redefined

[@sideofgoals984]

Would it be alright to download all of them and use them at the same time?

[@Dwergarphalanx]

Nice Video. is there a more up to date one? I thought the Sisl's mod was obsolete

[@HumanSlayer]

thanks for the video, much help all love keep up the grind

[@nathanielalcantara]

I assume all mods listed are all compatible to each other?

[@Nobody_PlaysGames]

I have all these mods great video

[@BlackEagleGermany]

how i get all of this in one packet? or i must download all of them one by one?

[@davidistakinganap]

Does realistic brutal and cold rain interfere with each or do they work fine with each other?

[@cabocotrancoso]

I'm from Brazil . thanks

[@Lonewolf23-26]

Is the description the order they should be in your mod manager in game? Some of the ones I tried don’t seem to be working? Also sound sliders should be where with the sound mods? Thanks in advance I’m new to this.

[@mluthfiridho1505]

Are all mods you show make a game to need higher PC spec?

[@NikkiFingerstyleJourney]

I wish someone will create a mod where an NPC car in the intersection will be like not paying attention to the light and you have to use your horn to make them move when it turns green. That way, there would be an actual use for the horn

[@2004DodgeRam]

Not me watching this video knowing I don’t own a pc

[@brucejenner9472]

i need the lawyer signs in las vegas for it to be real lol

[@CitiesByDiana]

Now all it needs is a mod to add HANDS to the steering wheel do it feels like there's actually a person driving.

[@Akhrl]

Impressive mods! Thank you ❤️

[@ayoitsyayo]

As the creator of all these mods, I don’t have a follow up to my previous statement. Thank you

[@ykshults3433]

thx for the video and great mods

[@CaptainMuffin]

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use to record your videos?

[@destroyedworld1185]

Some mods are quite unnecessary, but there are some I already have in my mod list, so all in all it’s a good video.

[@dxb8086]

Every mod is unnecessary since the game is more than playable without any mod. It all depends on your personal preferences.

[@mean.p.c.g7012]

that how i love to play american truck simulator,

[@randomguy2732]

genuine question, does cold rain work with rbgw?

[@nitrozack3062]

How do you get your in game to look so good?

[@MuskokaMatt91]

Probably expensive ass graphics mods and a really good computer

[@theofficiaIsteve]

do all of these packs work well with eachother or are there compatibility issues???

[@knight896661]

Now the biggest question are you using them all together at once?

[@toastcz]

Sure

[@senatortempest5874]

2 questions: 1) Cold rain and Brutal Graphics and Weather can be used together? 2) Can ALL of this mod be used together?

[@pixistix_]

yes to both of those questions

[@vladwow1]

@@pixistix_ sorry to ask, but which one should go first in the load order? Brutal Graphics or Cold Rain?
