How to Download and Setup Promods 2.76

punk0 commentsEuro Truck SimulatorMapsModsNewsVideos1.56AI trafficcommunityETS2FreeGuidemap modpodcastPromodssneak peekteaserTrucksim

New Promods 2.76 released last week and includes new content we were waiting in 2.75. Since the procedure of download and setup map mod is the same as for previous version you can watch it in video I shared on ETS2 1.55.

On the video below I installed new Promods and in podcast style talked about changes we got in 2.76.

Nordic Horizons DLC will come soon, possible challenges

We still have no release date of new DLC for ETS2 – Nordic Horizons, bug we have good signals that the expansion will be released soon in 2025. Early trailer and gameplay preview from SCS usually means that the DLC is in final pre-release stage and since we never have open betas for chargeable content we get Nordic Horizon instantly.
It is still discussable on which version of the game the DLC will come and it could be 1.56 or additional major version on this branch like 1.56.5 (as we got West Balkans on 1.48.5 instead of 1.49). Another option is early release on 1.57 with short lifecycle of current 1.56 version.
It will be challenge for map mod community – they have to adapt to new DLC or even merge with their content if the new area with collide with existing mod structure (e.g Promods). The mods locked on the game version can also loose compatibility.
Anyway we are waiting for new big DLC (Greece was very small) to discover new roads in Nordic Countries – Sweden, Norway and Finland and also waiting for Scandinavia rebuild which will be good update for this beautiful expansion.
In video below I collected gameplay timelaps, trailer, available teaser footages provided by SCS on their media channels.

Map Combo Study 09.25.2025

We switched to ETS2 and ATS 1.56 but no map combos available yet. I’ve strted to prepare setups for both games but busy times on new work don’t give me enough time to provide new map combos fast. Obviously not all maps have been updated to new game version but I believe on upcoming weekends I can show you at least classic combinations for both games. Until that and if you are still on 1.55 you can enjoy massive combos for previous version of he game below.

If you just started with mods and map combination please see beginner’s guide. If you ask obvious questions explained in that guide most probably you will be send to watch it again.

As always before you start please always check if the guide you see latest and actual (check dates and videos availability). Please also follow rules and requirements – correct load order, DLCs compatibility and avoid extra mods that did not mentioned in the guide. Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems.
