In this guide I’m explaining how to build map combo for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) or American Truck Simulator (ATS), from how to download and combine maps, to tricks how to avoid crashes.

How to Download and Setup Promods 2.76
New Promods 2.76 released last week and includes new content we were waiting in 2.75. Since the procedure of download and setup map mod is the same as for previous version you can watch it in video I shared on ETS2 1.55.
On the video below I installed new Promods and in podcast style talked about changes we got in 2.76.
Nordic Horizons DLC will come soon, possible challenges
We still have no release date of new DLC for ETS2 – Nordic Horizons, bug we have good signals that the expansion will be released soon in 2025. Early trailer and gameplay preview from SCS usually means that the DLC is in final pre-release stage and since we never have open betas for chargeable content we get Nordic Horizon instantly.
It is still discussable on which version of the game the DLC will come and it could be 1.56 or additional major version on this branch like 1.56.5 (as we got West Balkans on 1.48.5 instead of 1.49). Another option is early release on 1.57 with short lifecycle of current 1.56 version.
It will be challenge for map mod community – they have to adapt to new DLC or even merge with their content if the new area with collide with existing mod structure (e.g Promods). The mods locked on the game version can also loose compatibility.
Anyway we are waiting for new big DLC (Greece was very small) to discover new roads in Nordic Countries – Sweden, Norway and Finland and also waiting for Scandinavia rebuild which will be good update for this beautiful expansion.
In video below I collected gameplay timelaps, trailer, available teaser footages provided by SCS on their media channels.
Standalone maps bug in 1.56 fixed
Following the release of versions 1.56 of ATS and ETS 2 by SCS, a major bug has been identified: when creating a new profile, it was no longer possible to select the map module corresponding to a standalone map. The bug has been fixed in latest release. You have to download update in Steam.
Map Combo Study 09.25.2025
We switched to ETS2 and ATS 1.56 but no map combos available yet. I’ve strted to prepare setups for both games but busy times on new work don’t give me enough time to provide new map combos fast. Obviously not all maps have been updated to new game version but I believe on upcoming weekends I can show you at least classic combinations for both games. Until that and if you are still on 1.55 you can enjoy massive combos for previous version of he game below.
If you just started with mods and map combination please see beginner’s guide. If you ask obvious questions explained in that guide most probably you will be send to watch it again.
As always 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. Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems.

SCS broke standalone maps in 1.56
Following the release of versions 1.56 of ATS and ETS 2 by SCS, a major bug has been identified: when creating a new profile, it is no longer possible to select the map module corresponding to a standalone map.
This makes it completely impossible to start a new game on certain standalone maps.
Affected only new profile creation, so if someone have already been created profile on standalone module it will work so it can be only replaced old version of mod with the new one in the mod manager.
We still do not know if it is just bug or the feature has been removed from the game and all standalone maps (count of which not very big) are become inacceptable for new players. The issue is already reported top SCS and there are topics on SCS Software forum.
100% discovered study 09.18.2025
My golden rule is Every Road Must Be Traveled, Map Have To Be Discovered. So since 2017 I do it almost on every game update including all expansions and reworks. This obsession has driven me through countless game updates, expansions, and complete map reworks across both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. When you switch to another profile and don’t want to start map discovery from the scratch it is possible to transfer opened road to another profile. So I do it sometimes with newer profiles for both games (ETS2 and ATS) and also periodically share my progress in Youtube guides
The new update 1.56 for both games has been released recently and we have blank spots in vanilla maps with DLCs.
Current Discovery Status:
Euro Truck Simulator 2: 99.97% complete
American Truck Simulator: 99.99% complete
These percentages are based on the previous 1.55 version with all available map expansions
While I may update my guides later but if you follow my Youtube and blog you can achieve 100% completion on version 1.56 quickly, before the next wave of road reworks or DLC releases arrive
Below you can find latest 100% guides for both games:

ETS2 1.56 Released
A couple days after American release of 1.56, SCS pushed the update for ETS2 and as well as in ATS here we have see no significant changes from open beta branch. Base game changes like new Profiles UI or Height Blend effect are the same as in ATS but in European sim some new content revealed for DLCs.
