Today we are going to accomplish just that using two mods

1. Frosty heavy winter mod
2. Frosty winter weather by grimes

You can go ahead and download them here:

• https://download-ets2.com/17522-frosty-winter-weather-mod-by-grimes-146x-for-ets2.html

Follow my guide on installing mods to ETS2 on Mac OS if you are new to this.

Else, copy them to the right folder, and let’s fire up ETS2 to activate them.

The roads are now covered in snow.

I had the mods already active, so my first step was deactivating them before reactivating them to show you how it is done.

Now, when it rains, you will see snow and sleet instead of rain.

Time to enjoy some of the hardships that come with winter driving!

I find common hard-to-forget or miss key controls the easiest for such a popular action. Each key toggles the corresponding blinker on and off.

My setup goes with:

• [ for left blinkers. Since this square bracket is left-sided, it made it easier to remember blinker direction
• ] for right blinkers. The exact opposite of the above and just next to it on my keyboard. Hard to miss

How to Set Blinker Keys on ETS2

• Launch the game and go to the pause menu
• Select options, then Keys & Buttons

• Scroll down until you find the Left-Turn indicator and Right-Turn indicator
• Click on the Primary key binding option for one (start with Left-Turn) it will turn yellow when ready for you to press the key you want to assign

• Press the key you want to assign on the keyboard ([ for me)
• Repeat the same for Right-Turn and select another key
• Hit escape to go to the save menu and select drive to get to your truck.
• Pressing the selected Left-Turn key should activate the left blinker and the ticker sound in the cab. Press the key again to turn it off.
• The same applies to the Right-Turn key

Setting headlights control shortcuts to your preferred keys will make them easier to remember making light management a breeze.

Since shortcuts vary from gamer to gamer, I will show you how to assign three primary light controls in the game using my favorite key combinations:

• L: This toggles light modes. For turning on parking lights/daytime running lights, Low beams, and turning everything off
• K: For turning on the high beams
• J: For flashing lights when you want to pass, greet someone or tell another driver they’re being a maniac

Note that I have kept my light controls in a tight cluster next to the L key, which is very easy to associate with Lights.

Assigning Key Bindings to Control Lights in ETS2

Launch the game and enter the pause menu

• Click on options
• Select Keys & Buttons Option

• In the list, scroll down until you find Light Modes and High Beam Headlights

• Click on the Primary Key option for Light modes
• The Current field will change color to Yellow, and you will get a prompt to Press the key you want to bind to the action. Mine was already L, and I hit L again on the keyboard

• Do the same for High beam Headlights.
• You don’t have to use my letters. You can use your own.

Turning on the Headlights

Hit escape to go to the pause menu and click Drive to go back to driving your truck. You are now ready to control the headlights

• You can turn on the parking lights with the engine switched off by hitting L (or the key you chose above) once
• Turn on the engine for the next two light modes. You can’t turn the lights on with the engine off
• Hit L (or your chosen Light Modes key) again with the parking lights already on to turn on the Low beams
• Hit the Lights Mode key the third time to turn the lights off
• With the Low beams on, hit your chosen key for High Beam Headlights (K for me), and the high beams will turn on. Hit the key again to turn them off

At this time, the rest meter will be all red. It keeps track of how long you have before sleeping. The fuller it is, the closer you are to maxing out your awake time.

The rest meter is this bed with a sleeping guy icon between the Fuel icon and Message Icon

You can get detailed info on how much time you have until you sleep on the trip info menu within Trip advisor.

You bring up this section by pressing F7 (or the shown key in your game if you modified key bindings)

To replenish, you will have to find a rest area (denoted by a bed on the map) and drive there,

Park at the correct spot

Switch off your engine

Hit enter to sleep.

Don’t worry if the keys to press in the games’ prompts differ. They will vary depending on your key bindings. The basic idea is: Drive to the correct parking spot, Switch off the Engine, and Sleep.

The rest will last for 9 hours (just a couple of seconds in real life), and you will wake up with your sleep meter fully replenished and grey.

Plan Your Rests in Advance

If I have a job that will take over 10 hours, I always pop up the map (by pressing the default shortcut M on the keyboard. If you changed your key binding, use your specific one for Maps), zoom in, and identify rest areas on my route.

I will then add waypoints to a spot and keep on guessing until I get a spot that is around 9 hours away from my current location. In this example, I had a short job so I will show you how toying with different sleep spots changes hours. Be careful not to choose a sleep spot on the opposite side of a dual carriage way. You will unnecessarily add time to your trip.

This way, I’ll never get caught off guard with no resting area nearby.

Does Taking the Ferry Give You Rest?

Yes, taking the ferry lets you sleep. You will gain sleep or rest hours that are equivalent to the ferry trip duration. If your route takes you through a ferry and you can get to the ferry before your sleep is due, please make sure you select a resting spot after the ferry ride to avoid wasting valuable time.

Why Can’t I Get the Rest Dialog When in a Rest Area?

You won’t get the Rest prompt when parked wrong in a resting area. I found that the best way to always get the prompt is ensuring the entire tractor (head section) of the truck is in the marked-out resting spot.

If you choose an area where the whole truck and trailer can’t fit (for instance, angle parking), drive in forward and avoid reverse parking. Align the truck perfectly, and you will get the prompt.

How to Disable Sleep in ETS2

While fatigue makes Euro Truck Simulator 2 more realistic, it could be a bother if you only want to haul cargo and maximize profits.

Luckily, you can disable it in the settings menu.

• Go to the pause menu
• Click on options then select Gameplay in the ensuing menu

• Uncheck fatigue simulation

Today I am going to show you how to install mods in Mac OS

The Procedure is:

1. Download the mod file
2. Extract it
3. Copy it to the mod file in your file system
4. Activate it in the game

Let’s Go!

I Get my mods from https://ets2.lt/

Find a mod you want, I am going with the sounds mod. It makes the game sound more realistic

Scroll down to the download buttons.

• Option 1: From steam. — you have to sign into your steam account
• Option 2: a Mirror — easier, download from an ad run server (sharemods)

Use option two. I find it easier. Though getting stuff from steam is safer in the long run.

My download is ready

Now to launch the correct folder to add the .scs mod file to in your Mac

• Open Finder
• Press and hold the Option on the Keyboard
• Click on Go
• Click on Library

Then Navigate to Application Support > Euro Truck Simulator 2 > Mod Folder

Time to extract the Mod we downloaded

• It has American Truck Simulator
• Euro Truck Simulator
• Scania Truck Driving Simulator

Open the Euro Truck Simulator folder and copy or move there

Sound fixes pack -ETS2.scs file to your mod folder that we opened before.

I moved mine, that is why you can no longer see it there.

Now Launch the game to activate the mod

The mod file you added should show in the mod section of the launch screen, as shown

Select it and move it to the active mods section, then click apply settings to finish activating the mod!

Here is a video explaining the whole process

Enjoy!

We will be exploring both options.

That is

• Add music files to the music folder
• Add a Radio Stream

I assume that you have the game installed on Mac OS. I have mine installed from Steam, but I don’t think that makes a difference.

We want the music to show up in this menu in the game.

Adding Music Files to the Music Folder

First, you will need the music to add. You can use any of your favorite tunes but I am grabbing a copyright-free song on the YouTube audio library.

You will be surprised how many good songs exist here. I’ll take the first one from King Canyon. Ice & Fire.

As it downloads, I’ll show you where I will put it.

The Library/Euro Truck Simulator/Music Folder

Normally, on Mac OS, the Library folder is hidden. To make it show, press the Options Key as you Click on Go under finder

Watch me:

• Launch Finder
• Hover over the Go menu
• Press and Hold Option key on the keyboard
• Click Go

With Option still held down, move down to the library and click on it

Once in the Library folder, navigate to

Applications Support > Euro Truck Simulator 2 > Music

Copy or move your music to the folder

Launch the game and use the navigation menu in the game to launch the music player

Your added music will be in the list, and you can play it as you please.

The default shortcut to launch music in the game is R

Add a Radio Stream

If you have a stable internet connection and want tot stream music live from a radio station, you can click the stream option. Load streams from the internet and Rock On!

I’ll stick to using YouTube Audio Library tunes since I am a streamer

Thanks guys!
