Map Combo Study 12.08.2025

With the version 1.57 for ETS2 and ATS we got new content expansions in Europe and America and in both games and not all mods are properly merged with them. So while you can update some mods and just go to the road, bigger setups may not be so easy especially when we talk about combined map mods. So the maximal and stable map combos are around the corner but I would recommend to stay on vanilla (base game+DLC) or roll back to 1.56 to run mega setups. Obviously on 1.56 you can’t enjoy Nordic Horizons or Louisiana but it is still a solution for max coverage.

Setups for 1.57 (especially European) are tricky and I’m on wip stage but it is Holidays period and I have not enough time to test combos so it takes time. No one like broken roads and CTDs so below you will find combos that works on 1.57 for ETS2 and 1.56 for ATS, and both setups doesn’t require latest map DLC (NH, Louisiana).

WIP and plans:

ETS2 1.57:

Map Combo with incorporated Nordic Horizons (soon)
Map combo without NH but bigger size (later in December)

ATS 1.57:

Map combo with incorporated Louisiana DLC (next week or later)

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. I do not support stolen or pirated content so if you use it – Trucksim isn’t your place.

It is so many map related news in our favorite truck simulator games, so on my side all previous guides and files are currently outdated. While in America until the release of new Louisiana DLC we have more or less 100% discovered, in Europe I have about 89% with Nordic horizons and Scandinavia refresh. And I don’t know how big is Louisiana DLC.


Since 2017 I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. Nordic Horizons, refreshed Scandinavia and Louisiana will probably finished in 2026. And as soon as my progress will be finished I will share it on Youtube and here the blog.

If you’re still on 1.56 and own new DLCs below you can find guides for both games. They will work on newer versions but undiscovered areas will remain grey.

Hidden Roads Study – November, 24 2025

As you know I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically. Latest available guides with hidden roads is still actual but we have updates in ETS2 1.57 on refreshed Scandinavia, where I found at least 4 roads already, and will be more on Nordic Horizon DLC soon. In ATS, I assume, we will see also brand new secret paths with Louisiana DLC which will be released on December, 4. So for now I will not update guides until all these hidden roads will be discovered. I hope it will happen in 2025 but not sure because currently I have not enough time in the games.
Actual list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America will be updated periodically here https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.

ETS2 (updated 04.25.2025, actual on 1.57 without Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 80 roads so far)

ATS (updated 08.23.2025, actual on 1.57 without Louisiana, 235 roads so far)

Unfortunately, YouTube search results often prioritize older videos, so even though I’m updating descriptions, outdated guides still rank higher in search results. Please always check if a more recent and updated guide is available.

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.

You can find on youtube and forums some combos with 100+ maps but here I’m standing for quality not quantity. Why you need millions maps you never visit if they work not stable together and take more time to setup than you will play the game?
