Think of them as two different garages for your truck add-ons.<\/p><h4>\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Path 1: The Steam Workshop<\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">This is the easiest and most popular method. The Steam Workshop is like an online store for mods that&#8217;s built directly into Steam.<\/p><ul><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>How it Works:<\/strong> You browse the ETS2 Workshop, find a mod you like and hit the <strong>Subscribe<\/strong> button. That&#8217;s it! Steam automatically downloads the mod and places it in a special folder on your computer.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>The &#8220;Auto-Updates&#8221; Perk:<\/strong> The best part? Whenever the mod creator releases an update (to fix a bug or make it compatible with a new game version), Steam updates your copy automatically. You don&#8217;t have to lift a finger!<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h4>\ud83d\udce6 Path 2: Manual Download<\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Sometimes, the best mods aren&#8217;t on the Workshop. Massive map mods like <strong>ProMods, <\/strong>weather mods or AI Traffic Mods mods from sites like TruckyMods are often downloaded manually as ZIP files.<\/p><ul><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>How it Works:<\/strong> You download a <code>.zip<\/code> or <code>.scs<\/code> file from a website. You then need to place this file yourself into <em>Documents\\Euro Truck Simulator 2\\mod<\/em> folder.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>The Manual Update Responsibility:<\/strong> Because you installed it yourself, you are also responsible for updating it. You&#8217;ll need to visit the website again, download the new version, and replace the old file. Always keep an eye on our guide, on the mod&#8217;s website or forums for updates!<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1952b6e elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1952b6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;none&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 24 24&#039; fill=&#039;none&#039; stroke=&#039;black&#039; stroke-width=&#039;1&#039; stroke-linecap=&#039;square&#039; stroke-miterlimit=&#039;10&#039;%3E%3Cpolyline points=&#039;0,6 6,6 6,18 18,18 18,6 24,6 \t&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f0005b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6f0005b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5. \ud83d\udd0e Finding Your Mods:<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82e5f7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82e5f7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\ud83d\udcc1 Case 1: Finding Steam Workshop Mods<\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">This is where things get a little tricky because Steam doesn&#8217;t use the mod&#8217;s name for the folder. Instead, it uses <strong>numbers<\/strong>.<\/p><ol start=\"1\"><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>The Main Folder:<\/strong> All Workshop content for all your games lives in one place. Navigate to your main Steam installation folder. It&#8217;s often in one of these two places:<\/p><ul><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><code>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\<\/code><\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><code>C:\\Steam\\<\/code> (or another drive where you installed Steam)<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Follow the Path:<\/strong> From your main Steam folder, follow this path:<br \/><code>steamapps\\workshop\\content\\<\/code><\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Find ETS2&#8217;s Universal ID:<\/strong> Inside <code>content<\/code>, you&#8217;ll see folders named with numbers. Each number is a unique ID for a different game. The magic number for <strong>Euro Truck Simulator 2 is <code>227300<\/code><\/strong> . This folder number is <strong>the same for every single ETS2 player in the world<\/strong>.<\/p><ul><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Full path: <code>...\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\227300\\<\/code><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Cracking the Code &#8211; Identifying Individual Mods:<\/strong> Open the <code>227300<\/code> folder. Inside, you&#8217;ll see <em>more<\/em> folders with numbers. Each of these numbers is the unique ID for a specific mod you have subscribed to .<\/p><ul><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>How to find a mod&#8217;s ID:<\/strong> Go to the mod&#8217;s page on the Steam Workshop website. Look at the URL in your web browser&#8217;s address bar. The number at the very end is its ID.<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Example: the popular mod Sound Fixes Pack v26.42 &#8211; ETS2 <\/strong>can be found in Steam Workshop, at the URL <code><a href=\"https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=648591060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=648591060<\/a><\/code>, the Mod ID is <code>648591060<\/code>.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">So, if you wanted to find the files for that specific mod on your computer, you would look in: <code>...\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\227300\\648591060\\<\/code> .<\/p><h4>\ud83d\udcc1 Case 2: Finding Manually Installed Mods<\/h4><p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">This case is much simpler.
