How to Merge Map Progress in Profiles for ETS2 and ATS – 2025 Guide
New game versions updates are here so we will also see the mods updates and it is perfect time to make you perfect profile.
In this guide I explain how to merge several profiles map discovery progress on example of merging vanilla 100% and Roextended 89% profiles on ETS2 1.53. You can try this scheme on 1.57 and in both ETS2 and ATS. Below you can find link to text version, tools and also ready strings used in this video (updated to 1.56).
Guide:
1. Reason
Merge discovered items in two profiles let you have updated visited roads in the end even if you exploring maps on different profiles. Also when the new version of the game is being released you can again discover as much as possible and then merge with your old combined profile.
2. Preparations and tools
Download and install software we plan to use – TS SE Tool, Notepad++, make sure that you have mods in mod folder if you plan to merge mod’s profile, make sure that Steam cloud disable for all profiles which will be changed, check config file if you can decrypt game files (g_save_format 2) and can use console (uset g_developer 1, uset g_console 1) and so on.
3. Backup
Backup all the profiles to the separate drive before doing any manipulations.
4. Profiles job
Enter to the profiles you wish to merge and save game to locate desired profiles by timestamp. You should carefully pick correct profiles. Decrypt profiles one by one and open game.sii in each mergeable profile and copy all discovered items to new text file (in this file we will merge them). We can merge 2 or more profiles but don’t forget that it should be from the same version of the game.
5. Merge (most important part)
When all discovered items strings pasted to the text file we have to change the order of numbers – the way as game read each string. Start from removing left part of the string (discovered_items []: ) with Notepad ++ command Find and Replace (Ctrl+C). On the Find what enter discovered_items \[\d+\]: and keep blank on Replace with (we have to remove them). Do not forget check Regular Expression in Search Mode. Replace all and you will get list of numbers. On this step you can also remove duplicates. Now we have to return discovered_items []: text with empty brackets. Alt+C and choose Text to insert and place there discovered_items []: and push ok. On the next step we have to add numbers to the brackets with correct order from 0. Select all in bracket spots (Choose first one and with Alt+Shift select last one) and again Alt+C and choose Number to insert – Initial should be 0, increased by 1, format decimal. Push ok and wait. If you have lot of string it can take a while. When all numbers added to brackets we can remove redundant spaces. Now we can copy strings and paste them to the target profile where will me merged result.
6. Results we get
We have to see discovered roads from 2 or more profiles we combined.
7. Back to play Load from profile where strings added and if you see desired result you can back to game but please bare in mind that recruitment agencies are not gonna work with this method so if you want to hire drivers you game will probably crash. To avoid it hire drivers before profiles modifications.

Map Combo Study 11.04.2025
After the latest map combo releases we have some new maps released and can be added to the setup but some maps are still tricky and I have not enough time to test combinations so probably it will take time and I guess those will be final map combinations for 1.56. No one like broken roads and CTDs so I keep latest combos below as a milestone for today.
As always I strongly recommend to start with beginner’s guide and do not ask same questions again and again in the comments and TG channel.
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. In some cases you need to create new profile for stable work of maps especially if your old profile have pieces of deleted mods, garages, trucks etc.
Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems.

100% discovered study 10.23.2025
My golden rule is Every Road Must Be Traveled, Map Have To Be Discovered. So since 2017 I do it almost on every game update including all expansions and reworks. This obsession has driven me through countless game updates, expansions, and complete map reworks across both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. When you switch to another profile and don’t want to start map discovery from the scratch it is possible to transfer opened road to another profile. So I do it sometimes with newer profiles for both games (ETS2 and ATS) and also periodically share my progress in Youtube guides
Below you can find latest guides for update 1.56 for both games.
100% Discovered Map of ETS2 1.56 (Profile and save game) (September 2025, ETS2 1.56)
100% Explored map with all DLC in ATS 1.56 * Full Map Discovered, Guide, Profile (September 2025, ATS 1.56)
[October 2025] Still 99.99% on Promods (1.56 update)
Promods 2.76 for ETS 2 1.56 brought new content to the mod but did not fixed isuues with undiscoverable spots so the status of my discovered items is still 99.99%. I’ve shared this progress on the ETS 1.55 and you can grab it to use on 1.56 but it be kind of 99.53% and you can do the rest on your side. This time I will not do the video and share the strings since the subject is not so popular among my subscribers. On the video below you can find 1.55 progress and also I’m sharing the link to guide how to merge profiles.

Watch how SCS Software expanded the virtual European trucking world from the original 18 countries to the complete continent, featuring:

All footages taken from @SCSSoftware, the music has been replaced since most of the trailers have copyrighted tunes. Resolution of initial trailers was 720p and later 1080p so I framed them.
Map Combo Study 10.20.2025
After the release of ETS2 and ATS 1.56 some map combo setup are available but it is also work in progress so probably soon we can combine more maps for stable gameplay. I hope the next combos will be much bigger for both games. While latest ATS is mostly well on Europe we have much crucial difficulties in 1.56 and some big multi-region map is still need to be fixed for combinations. If you are new in this world please start with beginner’s guide.
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. In some cases you need to create new profile for stable work of maps especially if your old profile have pieces of deleted mods, garages, trucks etc.
Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems.

Louisiana DLC is coming soon

Electric DAF XF Joins the Fleet in ETS2
The third full electric truck has been revealed in Euro Truck Simulator 2. As the previous tractors with electric engine DAF XF is only available for Quick Jobs up to 350 km so you can’t unfortunately park it on your garage. Also you cannot charge battery unless you use mods.
For players eager to experience a more realistic electric trucking simulation, the modding community has stepped in with solutions that add charging functionality, though this requires venturing beyond the base game.
The journey toward electrification in ETS2 began with the introduction of the Renault Electric truck, which marked a historic first for the game. This groundbreaking addition gave players their initial taste of zero-emission hauling, even with its Quick Job limitations. The fleet expanded further when Scania brought their electric model to the game, becoming the second manufacturer to join the green revolution.
