Experience the open road like never before with American Truck Simulator! This sequel to the popular Euro Truck Simulator 2 boasts a massive following and an incredible library of mods. Choosing the right ones can significantly enhance your gameplay. Here are ten top mods to supercharge your ATS experience: Note that compatibility may vary, and mods can be enabled/disabled individually within the game.
1. TruckersMP: While ATS now features multiplayer, TruckersMP offers a richer experience, allowing collaboration with up to 63 other players across various servers. A moderation team ensures fair play.
2. Realistic Truck Wear: This mod refines the damage system, adding realism. Repairing damage becomes more nuanced, including retreading tires. However, be prepared for higher insurance costs, incentivizing safe driving.
3. Sound Fixes Pack: Enhance your auditory experience with this comprehensive mod. It improves existing sounds and introduces new ones, from more realistic wind sounds to enhanced reverb effects under bridges. Five new air horns are included!
4. Real Companies, Gas Stations, and Billboards: Add a layer of authenticity by incorporating real-world brands like Walmart, UPS, and Shell into the game's environment.
5. Realistic Truck Physics: This mod improves vehicle suspension and other physics aspects, creating a more realistic driving experience without making the game overly difficult.
6. Ludicrously Long Trailers: Embrace the challenge (and potential chaos) of hauling ridiculously long trailers. Note: this mod is single-player only.
7. Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather: Enhance the visual appeal of the game's weather system with improved skyboxes and more realistic fog effects. This mod is surprisingly lightweight.
8. Slow Traffic Vehicles: Add realism and a touch of frustration by encountering slow-moving vehicles like tractors and combines on the road.
9. Optimus Prime (and other Transformers skins): Transform your trucking experience with eight different Optimus Prime skins, spanning various movie iterations and the classic G1 design. Requires purchasing the appropriate truck model.
10. More Realistic Fines: This mod adjusts the penalty system, making minor infractions less frequent, but serious violations still carry consequences.
These ten mods offer a diverse range of enhancements for American Truck Simulator. For European adventures, explore the top mods for Euro Truck Simulator 2 as well!
