A quick status update on where the Map Combo Study stands.

ETS2 1.61: the mega combo is taking longer than planned

I’m building a big mega map combo for ETS2 1.61, and it has taken more time than I expected. A lot of new maps were released and many existing ones got updates, so the setup kept moving under my feet. Trucksim is a hobby project and my time is limited, so I’m deliberately not publishing interim versions. I’d rather put the effort into one major, properly tested setup than hand out a string of half-finished ones.

The goal is to finish the new ETS2 combo this weekend. I can’t promise it, but that’s the target.

ATS: the big combo is done

The good news is on the American side. The larger ATS map combo is finished, and it should stay current for the entire 1.61 cycle. It includes most of the free maps that are available and can be combined right now.

I had planned to add paid mods as well, but that needs its own additional setup, and again time is the limit. For now the ATS combo covers free maps only.

What else is on the list

Alongside the combos, there are a few things I want to finish:

  • Events that still need to be wrapped up
  • More varied videos built around my own routes (see the North Dakota Routes)
  • 100% discovery guides
  • Hidden roads guides

Don’t forget about Beginner’s Guide which help new comers to dive to combos world. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

We have guides for 100% in both games but for Europe it is actual for 1.60 and there are no dramatic changes in 1.61 and bear in mind that if you combine ETS2 vanilla map with Promods as I did in below video, you will get 100% on that profile. In ATS 1.61 I added South Dakota DLC and other small pieces appeared with Road Trip.
Below you can find 100% for ATS and ETS2. As well as 100% on ProMods 2.84.
I’m not sharing my RoExtended profile with 100% since nobody asks.
I believe my guides will be less useful since starting of 1.61 we got Proximity Exploration feature and you can get your 100% with your truck or car (or later bus) without profile modifications and all this stuff. To be honest I’m so tired of this infinite race for 100% and I will do it as long as enjoy it on my side.

Promods 2.84 on ETS2 1.61 – 100% Explored Promods map (October 2026, including Vanilla, all DLC)

I do these discovery since 2017 and I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks.

I’ve started my 1.61 combo journey from Europe and still working for American one since 2 new DLC takes all my gaming time. The map mods expansion for ETS2 to bigger numbers also write around the corner and I hope next week I will finalize my first mega setup. So today is a one new and one old combos below – ATS for version 1.60 and fresh ETS2.

Don’t forget about Beginner’s Guide which help new comers to dive to combos world. It were significant changes in 1.59 so I strongly recommend watching it everyone who did not touch configurations for a while. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

We have guides for 100% in both games in 1.60 and since 1.61 is right around the corner, I’m sure we will get new content over there. At least with South Dakota release for ATS.
Below you can find 100% for ATS and ETS2. As well as 100% on ProMods 2.83.
I’m not sharing my RoExtended profile, but on it I’ve also reached 99.96%, after discovering new roads.
Technically I figured out how to extract map sectors and convert them into discovered items. It feels a bit like cheating, but it’s the only way to discover some mods with glitchy sectors. I won’t be sharing the process, since it’s fairly complicated and requires coding knowledge — I’ll just use it occasionally to create “dream profiles” with fully discovered maps.
But good news from SCS Software – since 1.61 we will get new feature which help us to discover roads faster.

Version 1.60 for ETS2 and ATS is running longer than I expected since news about 1.61 version started to reveal quite early. But 1.60 is still actual and we can enjoy big map mods configurations. I’ve finished with map combos for current version and probably will not rollout any setups on it. Below you can see latest guides for both games with actual mod versions. For Europe we also have two versions – free and premium.

Don’t forget about updated Beginner’s Guide which help new comers to dive to combos world. Also since it was drastic changes in game engine in 1.59 I strongly recommend watching it everyone who did not touch configurations for a while. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

Finally I have guides for 100% in both games in 1.60 and even more. It is obviously 1.61 is right around the corner, but we still don’t know whether the map will be affected by the new version.

Since this kind of content isn’t very popular, I don’t think it’s worth making videos about it — the evidence is right there: even the merging guide doesn’t get much traction, and I suspect content about decoding files would just bring a storm of negative feedback.

Version 1.60 for ETS2 and ATS is still actual and we have some time to enjoy big map mods configurations until that. While I’m testing now gigantic map combo for ETS2 (I hope to finish it on upcoming weekend but not sure) below you can see latest guides for both games with actual mod versions. ATS combo is final but there is lots of additions in Europe. I’m not rushing out a combo setup, I will release only those that I personally enjoy and would actually use myself.

Lately I’ve also updated Beginner’s Guide which help new comers to dive to combos world. Also since it was drastic changes in game engine in 1.59 I strongly recommend watching it everyone who did not touch configurations for a while. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.

At the moment, we’re at almost 100% in both games (a few small pieces in ETS2 1.60 haven’t been documented yet). The short lifecycle of each game version makes this more challenging, because map exploration — especially pixel hunting at the end — takes a lot of time. And 1.61 is right around the corner for both games, so we still don’t know whether the map will be affected by the new version.
Below you can find 100% for ATS, and about 99% for Europe on 1.60. It’s a similar story with the vanilla + ProMods setup — it’s not 100% on ProMods 2.83, but very close, and I’ll finish it later this month before the new ProMods release comes out.
I’m not sharing my RoExtended profile, but on it I’ve also reached 99.96%, after discovering new roads.
Good news on the 100% front: I finally figured out how to extract map sectors and convert them into discovered items. It feels a bit like cheating, but it’s the only way to discover some mods with glitchy sectors. I won’t be sharing the process, since it’s fairly complicated and requires coding knowledge — I’ll just use it occasionally to create “dream profiles” with fully discovered maps.

Probably version 1.60 for ETS2 and ATS will have the short lifecycle as it was with 1.59 but we have some time to enjoy big map mods configurations until that.

Map exploration takes a lot of time, and unfortunately my free time is quite limited these days. While some dedicated players have already discovered every corner of the latest American Truck Simulator DLC, I’m currently sitting at around 98% completion and still enjoying Illinois, which has quickly become one of my favorite ATS map expansions to date. Because of that, the next ATS 100% Discovery digest will most likely arrive with version 1.60 or later.
On the Euro Truck Simulator 2 side, however, the situation is much better. We have reached 100% map discovery across all of Europe, including the recently reworked Benelux region, which looks absolutely fantastic.
Speaking of map discovery, I should also mention ProMods roads. After a long journey, the entire map has finally been fully explored. I’ve included a video below. It’s more of a podcast-style discussion than a traditional guide, but I know there are plenty of fellow map exploration enthusiasts who will enjoy it.
