Guide How to Download and Setup Promods 2.77
New Promods 2.77 is mostly compatibility release and it doesn’t friendly to new map DLC Nordic Horizons, overlap it and even if you purchased it you will see Promods content instead of vanilla. But if you are ready for this trade off or still have no Nordic Expansion you can enjoy new version on the latest ETS2 1.57. In the guide below as always you will find step by step instruction, but please watch carefully and don’t ask about archives on the Youtube.
First Map Combo for ETS2 1.57 – Tutorial – November, 30 2025
100% discovered study 12.02.2025
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many map related news in our favorite truck simulator games, so on my side all previous guides and files are currently outdated.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.
100% Discovered Map of ETS2 1.56 (Profile and save game) (September 2025, ETS2 1.56, all map DLCs up to Greece)
100% Explored map with all DLC in ATS 1.56 * Full Map Discovered, Guide, Profile (September 2025, ATS 1.56, all map DLCs up to Iowa)
First Map Combo for ETS2 1.57 – Tutorial – November, 30 2025
Map combo for ETS2 1.57 is currently irredeemable. You can combine classic pack of Promods, Roex and Rusmap but without Nordic Horizons (DLC will be overlap by Promods). If we exclude Promods we get current Rusmap which is not integrated with Horizons and will have broken roads. Horizonless combo make sense but it is shame to avoid such a beautiful expansion. So I provide an option but you should pick which one is preferable for you.
This update for ETS 1.57 includes Promods, Roextended, Rusmap and some other smaller but compatible maps. 12 maps, 31 files, RCs, fixes. As always please follow the instructions in video and note that combo designed to version 1.57 and requires all map DLCs (Nordic Horizons is optional and will not be available in this particular setup). Paid mods are optional.

[November 2025] Still 99.99% on Promods 2.77 (1.57 update)
Promods 2.77 for ETS 2 1.57 did not brought new content to the mod and unfortunately did not fixed issues with undiscoverable spots so the status of my discovered items is still 99.99%. This time I decided to share my progress and you can grab it to use on your profile. On the video below you can find 1.57 progress and also I’m sharing the link to guide how to merge profiles.

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.
New Hidden Roads in ETS2 1.57
Even before the Nordic Horizon released and Scandinavia is just in ETS2 1.57 open beta I found the first hidden road in Denmark near Esbjerg. It comes with secret viewpoint Oddesund Bridge (Oddesundbroen). And I believe it is only beginning.
The guide for secret roads for ETS2 is way long did not get any updates since the Greece DLC and was refreshed in April of 2025. I believe with Scandinavia refresh and Nordic Horizons DLC we will find new hidden easter eggs.
And don’t forget to check the spreadsheet I will update https://trucksim.top/y9t6

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.
