How to Merge Map Progress in Profiles for ETS2 and ATS – 2026 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. I have currently 100% in US and bout 93% in Europe so below you can find links to ready strings to latest versions.
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.

[December 2025] No more 99.99% on Promods 2.80 (1.57)
Promods 2.80 for ETS 2 1.57 which just released brought not only integration with Nordic Horizon DLC and Scandinavia refresh but also new content to the mod and my discovered items with 99.99% is not actual anymore. Currently I have 88.70% and later maybe I will combine it with discovered NH DLC areas from different profile. But for now I have not 100% in main ETS2 so it will take time and have to bear in mind that PM 2.80 nordic regions are not equal to the vanilla DLC (E.g. Kirkenes, Murmansk area).
So below you can grab my progress strings for 2.77 and get those 99.99% and wait for bigger numbers or discover those 11.3% on your side in Promods 2.80.
On the video below you can find PM 2.77 on ETS2 1.57 progress and also I’m sharing the link to guide how to merge profiles.

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.
