What this mod does
Coaches – Happy Passengers keeps the passengers of the Coaches DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 happy no matter how you drive. [GER] DK published it on November 12, 2026 (version 1.4 that same day) and it has over 1,300 subscribers.
What it changes
- Removes the penalties for G-forces (acceleration, braking, cornering and bumps), for driving fast, for collisions and for damage to the coach.
- Passenger jobs no longer fail because of rough driving.
- It does not change the rewards for good driving or the penalties for lateness or traffic offences.
Version and warnings
The author lists game version 1.62. The G-force meter cannot be removed by a mod: disable it under Options › Gameplay or with the console (g_adviser_widget_bus_gmeter 0). Passenger sounds remain. It is not compatible with other mods that change bus_economy_data.sii, but it works with «Coaches – Faster Bus Level Up» by the same author. It is an economy mod for single player: do not use it on TruckersMP or in Convoy, and back up your profile first. It weighs 32 KB. Find more in the guide to bus mods for ETS2.
