[@cjquillinan5686]

FTG thank you so much for this video. I started playing games for the first time in 20 years about 9 months ago and your videos have helped and inspired me. Really put a spark back into me that I thought was gone since becoming disabled. Thank you again and be blessed my friend.

[@errol6788]

Man I appreciate this video so much, I have watched it before, just was a lot to take in, but now on the second times sound it makes sense and then sinking in. Next step will organize, group, and prioritizing these said mods......again thank you for asking the time out to do this videos.

[@FullTilledGaming]

Hey dude.. I'm glad it helped.

[@DripBird]

Thank you very much FTG! I was trying to help my friend out but i couldnt find anything but now i can finally help him. Im going to download some mods myself now.

[@colecowan4223]

Nice vid man!! Lots of info I really appreciate it!!

[@sybsygstgstsgysg5330]

I came here just to find a good website to get my mods, walked away with way more valuable information. You have earned my sub.

[@Nicholas.C]

Love the intro man!

[@angeldelgado9049]

another great video. keep the good work.

[@gameclasher9997]

I like how you don't have to unzip files, so you don't risk a virus leaking out.

[@graeme__allen]

Thanks for this DTG

[@FullTilledGaming]

You're Welcome

[@elijahthrossell481]

Thank man it worked for me

[@sheltonlindsey7965]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@jasonmarshall7401]

Wish the steam workshop had all the modded trucks their is vary few

[@austinn_6161]

I wish

[@jasonmarshall7401]

They also need to keep the mods updated I have seen great mods now incompatible with the latest version 1.4 for ATS so sad people make mods and never update them

[@HoldmyWine2024]

Hello firstly loved your video and subbed to your channel and I am currently playing the game and loving it ok let me say off the mark I am in no way computer tech savvy when it comes to files and doing these Mods Now i went ahead and downloaded a couple of mods and i checked my PC downloads and can see them on my pc now what do i need to do to get them onto my game??

[@b9bot148]

Hey I would like to know the list of mods that you use and like the best. Thanks for the great video!

[@ProfessionalDumbass420]

Even though I have parents in the IT field and I know whats bs and what's not - you can never be too safe.

[@chriscrane5327]

hey,i need your help,almost all of my mods but few are from steam,and they all work,i have a winter mod and the USA map mods from the atsmods,com my issue is my game is crashing when I use the USA map mods,but at RANDOM,when I use the other steam mods,i don't wanna drive in mexico or cananda just the USA,but when I use my own trucks/trailers,and just a FEW mods with the USA only mods my game crashes,i set the steam options to public beta and direct x,the only mods im trying to use with the USA mods are mainly unlock everything and some extra transmission mods,i wanna paint my trailers with company names like Schneider Walmart etc,but its not letting me do it,just on my trucks,so how do I fix this

[@lukedavison9430]

Hey, I am seeking help for ats. I opened up one of my scs files with explorer not thinking anything would happen and now all of my scs files are jacked up. What can I do?

[@jamisonk.097]

Can you delete any extensions that are put on your chrome?

[@keidens3753]

it just seems odd because it all the mods i clicked on i pressed download, and then took me to download them in or on rar?

[@Brayyyo]

When I try to install mods now, it makes it into a notepad.

[@chasehowland5259]

Mine is a utorrent file for some reason.. will it still work?? someone help pls

[@matthewjessee6395]

thank u

[@kingfilms2502]

Hey i don't know if anyone still comes here but I need help. I downloaded exactly the way you showed and everything even made sure that the mod matched the version I was on. Showed up in mod menu too and I activated it, but when trying to make sure it was actually in my game. I looked for it in the truck dealership and found out that there is supposed to be a button that says "access mod dealer" yea I dont have that. I've looked for over 2 hours now for some way to fix this and I found nothing. Someone please help im ripping my hair out over this

[@keidens3753]

Hey man i loved this video but still dont trust the site and want this truck KENWORTH W900L 2005 1.43 would you mind checking and it and making sure because i pressed the download and then took me to another site but seemed odd.

[@rossmacintyre1059]

I use Adobe and it keeps saying the k100 mod isn't safe

[@_Shadowmear_]

Hey FTG I have a problem. I downloaded the file fine but when I went to put it in the mods folder I accidentally changed what it opens with how do I change it back to normal so it will work properly?

[@FullTilledGaming]

my guess would be right click on the file and choose what to open it with again to the one you really want?

[@derp8575]

My ATS file doesn't have a mods folder. If I create one will that work?

[@robertmyrtle7083]

i just wont say to you i reset my my passwork with steam and it not doing nothing

[@whataboat5415]

Will you do gold rush tonight?

[@FullTilledGaming]

Magic- Gamer no not until next week when the update drops

[@OBJ_Twin]

The mod I got it showed in the mod manager but I didn’t get it

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

All I download from is Steam. The other sites are full of bugs. Very informative, this answers a lot for me.

[@killersquad614]

gruppenfuhrer45 So do i but I'm trying to find some good trucks not skins do u know any?

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

KillerSquad614 on Steam there are only a few trucks. Shame

[@punithaannathurai8308]

Wast not nice video games don't see this video games 😴sleep video

[@David488013]

I tried to install a mod. I do not have a mod folder to put the mods into. So I made a folder I named Mods and I put that folder in there but no mods in the game showed up. There is a spot where all the DLC are and there are all scs files tried putting it there but no luck. Any help would be great. I am want to add the frosty mod.

[@FullTilledGaming]

yes you create the folder that says mods and drop your files in there. Make sure they are either .scs files or Zips. If they are 7-zip 9-zip you'll have to download a free program to extract the files from there.

[@jeepshd5436]

quick question is a tri axel chassis only a mod or do u unlock it im playing ats and only level 25

[@FullTilledGaming]

Most of the time that’s a truck mod or modification chassis pack. It just depends on the truck and what’s available

[@jeepshd5436]

ok big thank you

[@subjectc7505]

So i downloaded a Bmw M3 Car mods for ats and when i downloaded it was a scs file and i zipped and kept it as the scs file. Neither of them worked when I went in game to find the car at the volvo shop and it didn't show up. What did i do wrong and can u help?

[@FullTilledGaming]

It’s purely possible that the mod doesn’t work. It doesn’t always mean you did anything wrong. Sometimes they just don’t work

[@SilentRoadStudio]

I know im years late on this, but do I actually have to buy the ad blockers? I have looked for free one but they all seem to have you buy it and also take me to pages for premium.

[@FullTilledGaming]

The adblock through chrome is free and exactly what I've used for years. It just helps you navigate the pages where ads are littered all throughout the page. One thing to keep in mind, is all those ads buy ins payout to the company that houses all of the mods. They also after so many downloads will payout money to the modders who house their mods with their site which is how a few of them that have aa many of downloads earn a little cash even though it's "free"

[@SilentRoadStudio]

@@FullTilledGaming Ok, thank you! Time to get me some mods😉💯

[@robertmyrtle7083]

hey it robert i was worrying if yohelp me with mt steam

[@JimmyMcneil]

what about steam versions? my ats does not have a mod folder but does have a plugin folder

[@FullTilledGaming]

Mine is a steam version. If you go into your documents folder and in your ats folder there is not a mod folder, create one that’s says mods, and drop your mods you download in there. It can be zip folders from sites or .scs files. Those are the two formats that are accepted.

[@JimmyMcneil]

@@FullTilledGaming thanks man!

[@SemperFi042]

Why can't Steam just buy the mods and pass along the cost, and then everyone can download from Steam and be supported?

[@FullTilledGaming]

AHAH money.

[@a1krazor259]

I download alot of FS mods and they all work. but the ATS ones don't show up as a Compressed Zip Folder. and i dont know how to fix this.

[@FullTilledGaming]

Hey buddy, All you need is either the Compressed zip folder or a .scs in the mod folder. That's what different than FS.

[@mikek2824]

Can you help me find a good no damage mod? I can't find one anywhere

[@gradyehrman7620]

try steam workshop

[@thehunterstruck]

Literally every mod I've downloaded EXCEPT ONE the BigT BritTax LED lights have REQUIRED a password and it sucks!

[@tmangamingx]

This is so frustrating All I want is one damn truck and I can't get it into my game !

[@FullTilledGaming]

so what exactly are you wanting to do?

[@tmangamingx]

@@FullTilledGaming I want a Kenworth W900L for ATS and it doesn't matter what 3rd party mod I try to install it just doesn't work. It shows the truck ing the mod screen. Where you can move it from active to in active. But when I try to find the truck I can't find it at all anywhere.

[@tmangamingx]

@@FullTilledGaming IF you can help me I would forever grateful.

[@Repavich]

@@tmangamingx When browsing for the truck at the dealer, it wont be at the Kenworth Dealer. You have to go to the "Mod Dealer" in game. Took me a moment to figure it out. But this may not be the issue you had? I know its been over a year, but cant hurt in case others are wondering.

[@fairybreadcat100]

In my files all of the mods do not work

[@FullTilledGaming]

Yeah that doesn’t even make any sense

[@Corydakat]

All the mods on these sites download as notes why?

[@FullTilledGaming]

Notes are the general icons sometimes for files.

[@loubot5000]

Dude my anti virus is so strong it detects the smallest virus that is not even a risk......

[@FullTilledGaming]

Yeah mine does too. I think you can see it trigger after a few downloads in the vid.. Hope it helps some people out that have been asking for a vid like this

[@loubot5000]

Thx for replying and yes it will help people with TERRIBLE antivirus software

[@NotMe-sn9so]

windows defender can do that too

[@FullTilledGaming]

Yes it can. There are a few really good ones out there. This isn’t the only one

[@oloyolo6711]

I use Norton and it blocks files that aren't even bad like some mods or attacks from mod websites

[@B.nanana]

Whats a really good anti virus

[@FullTilledGaming]

cold shoulder I use Mcafee anti virus. It’s very lean and doesn’t bog my system down. I’ve not had any problems with downloading and using it plus it’s got some great web browser tools as well. I’d recommend it, but I don’t have any other info on any others, but if it helps you I wouldn’t use anything else.

[@B.nanana]

Full Tilled Gaming ok thank you

[@sp3ctrvm838]

i use avast

[@ragingvoids]

steam workshop is all to be said

[@johndoe7109]

i think my vpn blocks all that

[@FullTilledGaming]

usually does. It's usually not a big deal, but some people don't have anything.

[@luvkvri9789]

How do you deal with rar files

[@FullTilledGaming]

I use Winrar and you unzip them just like a regular zip file. It's just another form of compression.

[@luvkvri9789]

It worked thank you

[@connorhardman4347]

The SCS files won’t work. The mod doesn’t show up in the game.

[@FullTilledGaming]

Come on dude. You can’t post a comment like that without some details. What mod ? What version?

[@FullTilledGaming]

And yes .scs files are the package files for ats. Don’t tell me it don’t work. It’s obvious by my vids they do.

[@connorhardman4347]

It’s shows up as a .rar file doesn’t say SCS when I look at the files.

[@FullTilledGaming]

You have to unzip that. You need winrar or 9zip to open it up. It’s the same as a zipped file.

[@connorhardman4347]

Thank you for the help and I love to watch your streams.
