What this mod does

ATS AI Traffic No Default SCS Trucks is a mod by Kass that removes all of SCS’s stock trucks from American Truck Simulator traffic. From then on, the road is filled by the trucks from the traffic packs and mods you have enabled.

What it’s for

Base-game traffic uses only a handful of truck models and gets repetitive fast. If you play with traffic truck packs or real-company skins, this mod makes those trucks appear much more often.

  • Removes all SCS trucks from AI traffic.
  • Lets other truck and traffic mods take over the roads.
  • Helps custom trucks and real-company trailers show up more.
  • Lightweight and, according to the author, compatible with most traffic truck packs.

Version and requirements

Version 1.3, from September 18, 2026, is the one for ATS 1.61. It was released in March 2026 and has received an update for every game version since 1.58. It doesn’t require any DLC or other mods, and the page doesn’t give a load order.

Tip

Pair it with at least one traffic truck pack. Kass also has versions for cars and buses, and you can use them together.

No. It only removes SCS trucks from AI traffic.
