Map Combo Study 12.29.2025
With the version 1.57 for ETS2 and ATS we got new content expansions in Europe and America and map combinations – especially in ETS2 – were in challenging mode. For ATS is more or less clear and latest Louisiana combo is working well. But in Europe until yesterday we had to build separate setups for combo with or without Nordic Horizons because the DLC collided with several major mods. Promods with new DLC integration is released and we have now some options to create combo with Promods 2.80 and other maps. So the assembly of Mega combo is now WIP on my side and I hope we will see New Year edition of map combo in last days of 2025. But if I will not finish it I still would recommend you to wait to the moment when all fixes and connections will be ready and until that use below guides.
WIP and plans:
ETS2 1.57:
Mega Map Combo with incorporated Nordic Horizons, Promods, Middle East and dozens of other maps
Light Map combo without NH
ATS 1.57:
Big Map combo with updated maps (E.g. Beyond) (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.

Cruising Nordic Horizons Event is still live
The World of Trucks event – Cruising Nordic Horizons started with new DLC for ETS2 and if you’re still not joining – it is the chance to discover nice cities, roads and landscapes of Northern Europe and get some in-game perks like truck skit or cabin decorations. Rules of the event is pretty clear if you ever attended to SCS events – bring cargo with External contracts for or from cities of the new DLC.

Me personally already finished my goals as well as Community – goal reached couple days before. But you have time until February 1st of 2026.

Cruising Louisiana event is still goes on
As always with the new DLC for American Truck Simulator we get World of Trucks event and this time it’s #CruisingLouisiana – typical but still attractive since we can discover new state and get another trophy on ours Wotr page.

Rules and rewards are pretty equal as for other “Cruising” events so if if you played it once just apply to the new names or read details in SCS Blog.

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)
