Wheel Mods

What is everyone using for big wheel Mods? I've got the Rezbilt wheel Mods but I would like some more variety and haven't had any luck finding more. I've also got the smartis wheel pack but that doesn't have any big rims.

Hello, Illinois, in a sad way.

Last trip with the K100 after a year with it. But as I always say, cabovers always go hard. So here's one last photo of the K100 before the new truck.

Reverted back to 1.58 to stop stutters

Like the title says, running 1.59 was causing my game to stutter, small but noticeable. Reverted back to 1.58 and it runs like butter. Has anyone noticed 1.59 isn’t running the best?

Volvo Electric not showing up in dealer

Do i have to do anything special to buy the electric Volvo? it's not a separate dlc right? i tried going to the Volvo dealer online in the game and the electric one isn't there. Do you have to drive over there to get it?

Thanks

Edit: Thanks for the responses explaining you can't buy it yet and it's only available in quick jobs!

Has anyone got a better traffic density mod that works with the Illinois DLC?

I think the Real Traffic Density Mod By Clip is pretty bad for cities. I’ll be wizzing through major Metros Like the Chicago (First three images) and St. Louis (Last two images). This is the same for cities known for bad traffic like Chicago, Dallas, Houston, LA etc. What annoys me is in then wedged in between cars like NYC in Northern California without a city for a 100 miles. So, has anyone got any better traffic density mods? Thank you.

Realistic unloading areas still not there yet.

Can anyone tell me how SCS wants us to unload that reefer, please? Golden will be the day when realistic unloading areas will be a thing in ATS based on trailer and cargo type. And I'm not even gonna talk about the lowboys...🤣🤣🤣

They need dynamic road conditions and traffic AI - it's the core challenge to driving.

So, I've been thinking of the main challenge whilst driving and it's really this - traffic which doesn't follow the normal conventions and flow, roads which abruptly have potholes to other obstacles (e.g. random pedestrian, wild animals, DUI driver). Heck, it's the reason you need to be continuously vigilant and highway hypnosis is a hazard from complacency - it's not the meditative tranquility of everything abiding by the laws.

Still, I'm confident some people prefer the very calm, orderly nature of ATS currently - no rusted cars weaving between traffic with the high chance of a mechanical failure to swerve anywhere. No deer leaping into your headlights from a foggy treeline. No suddenly worn road that will unnerve your high speeds and risk a spin! No engine oil spills to slip your tyres! Maybe such a true mode could be appropriately named dramatically as the chaos option?!?

I'm aware we have random events, but I don't feel these are integrated and persistent enough to require the necessary caution with driving. Are there any mods to enhance AI unpredictability at least - speeding people, people who don't indicate, racers shooting through traffic and road ragers brake checking?

Easter egg

I think I found an easter egg outside St. George, UT. The game chimed like i found something. The road is hidden but it doesn't show up as a secret road

California looks amazing

After issues with my oldest safe file I started all over again with the idea of completing everything in each state, viewpoint, pictures and cities. So far I don’t have many memories about Cali being so beautiful, I know that had a rework not so long ago but gosh.. it was this gorgeous before the rework? I don’t have many pics about the landscape, mostly videos

electric VNR just appeared in GARAGE?

guys i wonder if this is some kinda glitch or what

i thought the new electric VNR was only driveable in quick jobs, but somethin weird just happened to me. i had that pickup truck mode thing before (dont got it anymore tho) and it was occupyin one slot in my garage.

like 10 mins ago i went into garage management and suddenly i just seen a VNR sittin there clicked on it and the game instantly crashed. loaded back in, tried again, and somehow it actually let me customize the damn thing.

for some reason the game made me dumped like 45k into it cause why not haha.

then i clicked drive and apparently im drivin the electric VNR outside of quick job mode like its a normal truck. its kinda crazy tha it still aint actually buyable in the dealer.

so now i just own this electric beast (it actually feels pretty good to drive) and honestly i got no clue whats gon happen once the battery runs out
