ETS2 Car Mod Installation guide for 1.58 Version ETS2
Do you want to explore the map by car, enter the weirdest places, and be able to go from one side of the map to the other in way less time than you would do with a truck? Well…I’ve got you covered! On this page you’ll find how to download and install a car mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) in less than 3 minutes. So, if you want to drive cars in ETS2, stick around.
Step by step:
1. Find a car mod that you like: you can check some popular mod pages of ETS2 and ATS to download one, like ets2.lt or ets2world. But be careful not to download a virus or get malware by clicking on the false download buttons and not the real button itself (more about this one step ).
2. Check the version of the game (1.xx) and the version of the mod to avoid compatibility issues. For example, a car that is made to work with version 1.55 of the game may not work with lower or higher versions, so when you download a car mod into ETS2 or ATS, make sure to check this.
3. Scroll down in the mod page and download the file by clicking on the “Download” button of the site, not of the ads.
4. Once you have the file already downloaded, open the file explorer and go to “Downloads”.
5. Right-click on the mod file of the car and select “copy” or “cut”.
6. Go to the following path in the file explorer: Documents – Euro Truck Simulator 2 – mods.
7. Open the mods folder and right-click inside the folder and select “Paste“.
8. If the file is .rar or .zip (like the one I downloaded), right-click on it and select “Extract here”, if not (if it is .scs), ignore this step.
9. Now open the game and go to “Mod Manager” in the menu.
10. You should see a photo and the name of the car you’ve just downloaded.
11. Double-click on the photo of the car until a green circle appears around the bottom left part of the car.
12. Now click the button down below that says “Confirm changes“.
13. Log in to your profile like you normally do.
14. Go to the truck dealers, and at the bottom right part of the screen, you should now see a button that says “Access mod dealer“. Click on there.
15. You now have the option to buy the car or customize it previously, just like you would buy a normal truck.
16. Enjoy your brand new car mod in Euro Truck Simulator 2
Lastly, I remind you that if you run into issues, the most common fix is to verify the compatibility of the game version with the mod version (step 2 on this guide).
And I highly recommend you lower the braking intensity and increase the stability of the truck a lot in the game settings to make the car feel like a car and not like a truck.
