What this mod does
Heavy Smoke is a small add-on by Carlitos for Euro Truck Simulator 2. It doesn’t add smoke on its own: it thickens the exhaust smoke produced by his other two mods, Smoke in my Trucks (your truck) and Traffic Trucks Smoke (traffic trucks and buses).
What you need
- Smoke in my Trucks, which adds continuous smoke to SCS trucks bought at a dealer.
- Traffic Trucks Smoke, which adds smoke to certain traffic trucks and buses.
- Both are listed as required items on Steam, and you need to have them enabled.
Load order
Heavy Smoke has to sit above the other two mods in the Mod Manager for the change to apply. The author shows the correct order in the images on the page.
Compatibility
It’s designed for the game’s stock trucks. The author warns that it won’t work on 99% of modded trucks, because he would have to modify those mods. The idea is inspired by the old Exhaust Smoke 1.39 mod.
Version
The description says the mod tracks the current game version, from 1.50 to 1.61. The latest file shown on Steam is from September 4, 2025, before 1.61. There’s also an ATS version.
