We haven’t see new versions of Southern Region map since version 1.54 (May 2025) and it was adaptation of 13th edit with minor new content and mostly compatibility. Since that we’ve seen a lot of changes in the game. Its only author Artyom (aka SimKA) has not enough time to make updates and never share the map with other modders. So to avoid speculations it has been revealed statement on the official community:
1. No new versions are expected at this time. The project has been effectively “frozen” since June. Artyom (author) will unfreeze it when he comes back online.
2. The current version (13.1, for ETS 2 1.54) has been removed from sharemods for violating rules. Furthermore, version 13.1 for 1.56 is no longer particularly suitable, so there’s no point in restoring the link for now.
3. Overall situation with the project is as follows: we’re waiting for Artyom to have enough free time to adapt map for the current version (not even for 1.56, for sure) and we’ll restore the download links (with mirrors).
4. In terms of map builds, it’s best not to use it at all for now. Since the official version is outdated, and when using third-party “improvements,” it’s unclear what the creators have added.
