Meta Adjustments to TruckSim Threads / Content (Payware, AI and more)
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:
- ATS: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewforum.php?f=185
- ETS2: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewforum.php?f=5
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.

Meta ETS2 genuinely has to be the most boring game I ever played
I played this game for like 20 hours before realising what the fuck I was even doing.
So first of all, what makes driving so great in real life? You get to see different landscapes, different towns and cities, interesting cars on the road, all that. generally you see a lot of, mostly nice looking things.
Now what do you see in ETS2? The same landscape, the same cars, the same buildings. In general, everything just looks exactly the same.
So what do you do when playing the game? you stare at your screen, looking at the same, never changing image basically, pressing the forwards button with the only gameplay being to dodge some cars occasionally.
This is literally the most mindless stupid gameplay I have ever witnessed. Playing this game is actually depressing because everything looks the same wherever you go. You feel so claustrophobic like you are in. never ending nightmare where at every turn you take you come out in the same place.
Like if you want a game just to drive, GTA would be better because you at least have diverse landscapes, a greater variety of cars and better graphics.
Or like any other driving game.
Fucking Space Invaders is a more interesting game. It always looks the same like in ETS2 and the main gameplay is also dodging things but at least it’s more exciting.
Seriously I don’t get how this game gives you guys anything, just staring at a blank void for hours. In this so obviously fake world.
Honestly this game really feels like a nightmare to me. It’s like the backrooms if they were streets.

Meta A goodbye, and a welcome
Dear virtual truckers!
13 years after creating the subreddit I've decided to step down as owner and moderator, so this is both a goodbye, and a welcome: I'm leaving azgoodaz in charge whom I've known for a long time through the trucksim discord.
Sadly I have a lot less free time to devote to tending to the subreddit than I did a decade ago, so this will probably be a change in a good direction for everyone. I will just say that it was an amazing experience to see the sub grow from 8 to 80000 readers, to slowly observe the community gather around the trucksim games we all are fond of, to see your amazing screenshots and stories throughout the years... nothing can replace the joy of creating a community from nothing.
Folks, take care and keep on trucking!
Sudin
