What this mod does
ATS AI Traffic No Default SCS Buses is Kass’s mod that removes the game’s stock buses from American Truck Simulator traffic. In their place you get the buses from the traffic packs and vehicle mods you have installed.
What it’s for
It’s designed for players who use traffic bus packs, such as ones based on specific routes or companies. With the SCS buses gone, the buses from those mods show up more and traffic looks more varied.
- Removes all SCS buses from AI traffic.
- Lets other bus mods take their place.
- It’s config only: according to the author, it doesn’t affect performance and stays stable in long sessions.
- Compatible, according to the mod page, with most traffic bus packs.
Version and requirements
Version 1.3, from September 18, 2026, works on ATS 1.61. It came out in March 2026 for 1.58 and has been updated with every version since. It doesn’t require any DLC or dependencies, and the page doesn’t specify a load order.
What to pair it with
Use it alongside a traffic bus pack; without one, you’ll see few buses or none at all. Kass also publishes versions for cars and trucks.
