What this mod does
Weather 3.9, by dirceu junior, is one of the most widely used weather and graphics mods for Euro Truck Simulator 2: its 4K version has over 411,000 subscribers on Steam Workshop. It changes the game’s lighting and adds a large selection of skies so every trip looks different.
What’s included
- New lighting for the whole game.
- 319 skies (skybox) at 4096×1024 resolution.
- New skies and more weather types in version 3.9, which also cuts the file size by 30%.
- Compatible with all maps, according to the author.
Variants and add-ons
This page covers the 4K variant. The author publishes 8K and 16K variants and lighting add-ons separately on the Workshop; pick just one variant. The description also links an optional add-on, «Addons_grimes», to combine it with Grimes’ seasons mods; it’s hosted on the SCS forum.
Compatibility
The author lists it for 1.60 and 1.61; the latest update is from September 4, 2026. According to his replies, it only works with DirectX 11, not OpenGL. It’s about 2.5 GB, so the first download takes a while. Since it replaces weather and lighting, don’t enable it alongside other weather or graphics mods that change the same files.
