The best ETS2 traffic mods to start with

  • AI Traffic Pack by Jazzycat: 473 new cars, trailers for cars, police from 11 countries and around 600 vans. It works on its own and with any map.
  • Real Traffic Density: adjusts the amount and mix of traffic by time of day and road type, using real data. Free; it requires keeping g_traffic at 1.
  • Brutal Traffic: realistic traffic jams, more natural AI at junctions and density that changes between day and night and with rain. It doesn't add vehicles; it also requires g_traffic 1.
  • Bus Traffic Pack by Jazzycat: 43 buses and coaches (Setra, Neoplan, Irizar, Ayats…) and more than 1,300 paint jobs. Up to date for 1.61.
  • Mr Larrington's ETS2 Traffic And Trailer Pack: double trailers, B-doubles, B-triples and HCT combinations in traffic, with cargoes from your DLC. Version 1.61.0.

How to set up your traffic

  • Three types of mod: those that add vehicles (Jazzycat, Egon), those that change density and behavior (Real Traffic Density, Brutal Traffic) and the "No Default" ones that remove SCS's vehicles, like AI Traffic No Default SCS Cars, which need at least one vehicle pack.
  • Only one density mod: Real Traffic Density and Brutal Traffic change the same things; if you activate both, the one higher up in the Mod Manager wins. Both require g_traffic at 1.
  • ProMods: Mr Larrington has a ProMods add-on with liveries from Europe, the Maghreb and the Middle East.
  • By country: some only apply in one area, like GMC's British traffic or the Spanish tow trucks from Mapfre, Allianz and RACC.
  • Installation: subscribe on Steam Workshop or copy the .scs to DocumentsEuro Truck Simulator 2mod and activate it in the Mod Manager of each profile. In Convoy everyone needs the same mods.

Spain's traffic, skins and maps are in the guide to Spanish mods for ETS2. To combine traffic with weather and physics, realistic mods for ETS2, and to place each pack, mod load order.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best traffic mod for ETS2 1.61?

AI Traffic Pack by Jazzycat to add vehicles (473 new cars) and Real Traffic Density to make the amount of traffic realistic. Both are up to date for 1.61.

What is g_traffic and why do mods ask for it?

It's a game config variable that controls traffic density. Real Traffic Density and Brutal Traffic require keeping it at 1 so their values work the way the author tuned them.

Is there Spanish traffic in ETS2?

Yes, with Johnny_Berm's mods: Correos, SEUR, MRW or NACEX vans, Alsa, Avanza or Monbus coaches and tow trucks from Mapfre, Allianz and RACC that only appear in Spain.

What are "No Default SCS" mods for?

They remove SCS's cars, trucks, buses or trailers from traffic so the ones from your packs show up more. They need at least one traffic pack installed.
