Meta Adjustments to TruckSim Threads / Content (Payware, AI and more)

97 Upvotes

We've updated our TruckSim content rules to adjust to the growing community, and thanks to this thread, these adjustments are taking into effect today.

Low Effort

Removal of Modding Request

ATS and ETS2 is growing rapidly and with this, we have seen a large increase of mod requests from liveries / paint jobs or vehicles. Modders request 90% of the time are never fulfilled and take up space timeline.

Please note, if you want a model in either of these games. Pay a modeler then convert the model with Blender yourself to make a playable vehicle.

Removal of Feedback / Suggestions

This subreddit isn't actively moderated by SCS or any other game developer. With this, please redirect all feedback or suggestion based questions to:

While these topics drive discussions, they lead nowhere, an empty void making the community feel like game developers "aren't listening" but in reality they're just working on other features.

Payware Mods

Payware mods is going nowhere due how rapidly both games are growing. We will never remove or restrict someone from sharing their thoughts video or photos of the paid mods. That's why Reddit has a downvote button for a reason.

Mods will now be separated by flairs:

  • Mod / Add-ons (Freeware)
  • Mod / Add-ons (Payware)

If thread submission features any payware from a mod that requires a subscription or a one time fee, the thread will require 'Payware'. If thread does not feature this, the thread can be taken down without notice.

Although self-promo of payware (asking for money or donations) should be posted in the Monthly Thread. Anything outside of this will be taken down. If any user see's a self-promo post, you can report it via Report > Breaks Subreddit Rules

If you don't like payware, you can head to r/scssoftware for non-payware (this subreddit follows the same guidelines as the SCS Forums).

We follow a simple rule, if you don't like payware you don't have to support it, just don't steal, pirate it or share those links with others. We strongly enforce this rule when any user reports a user, comment or thread. You will be banned permanently.

AI

AI is growing and sadly whether we like it or not, it will always be in our life's now from searching content online, online support, shopping, banking to various little things in life.

In terms of AI on this subreddit, things are changing:

  • AI should never be used in videos or photo submissions (this has been a rule for a few months now).
  • AI generated tools/content should not be locked behind a paywall. These posts will be removed.

If you want to share your AI generated payware content we suggest you create your own subreddit directed for that specific project via 'Start a Community' button in the sidebar underneath the 'Reddit' logo.

All free AI content should be posted in Monthly Thread. Topic should state "AI" in their title or body and if possible share the GitHub source code project link within the message.

Question/Help Is there a new temporary town in the update ?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I’m in the process of discovering all the cities in ATS, and I only have 4 left! At least, that’s how many I count on the map—but when I check the career progression tab, it says I still have 5 left (283/288). Did the new Halloween update add a temporary city that I need to visit for the event ?

I recommend this understated truck for ATS. After a few jobs with a MACK truck, I gave this mod a try, and I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to avoid getting stuck in the map textures of Brackenreach.

Question/Help ETS2 rear camera mods show a black screen beyond a certain distance

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

I installed a rear camera mod in ETS2, but unlike the side mirrors, which let me see quite far behind me, the rear camera just shows a black screen beyond a certain distance. I had the same issue with other rear camera mods, too.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?
