Top 10 Mods for American Truckers Enhanced

Experience the open road like never before with American Truck Simulator, the acclaimed sequel to Euro Truck Simulator 2. Boasting a massive following and a wealth of community-created mods, ATS offers an unparalleled trucking experience. Choosing from the vast selection of mods can be overwhelming, so we've compiled ten of the best to significantly enhance your gameplay. Remember, mods may not always be compatible, but you can easily enable or disable them individually within the game.

TruckersMP: Multiplayer Mayhem

While American Truck Simulator now features a built-in multiplayer mode, TruckersMP remains a popular choice. This mod allows up to 64 players to share the road, offering diverse servers and a dedicated moderation team to maintain order. Experience the thrill of convoying with other players, surpassing even the game's native Convoy mode in certain aspects.

Realistic Truck Wear: A More Authentic Experience

This mod refines the game's damage system, making it more realistic and challenging. Instead of immediate tyre replacements, you can now retread them multiple times, but expect higher insurance costs, encouraging safer driving. The Steam Workshop discussions featuring real-world trucker insights add another layer of authenticity.

Sound Fixes Pack: Immersive Audio Enhancement

This comprehensive mod introduces numerous audio improvements and additions. From enhanced wind sounds with open windows to subtle reverb effects under bridges, it elevates the ATS soundscape. The inclusion of five new air horns is an added bonus.

Real Companies, Gas Stations, and Billboards: A Touch of Reality

Inject a dose of realism into your virtual trucking journey with this mod. It integrates numerous real-world brands, including Walmart, UPS, and Shell, adding authenticity to the game's environment.

Realistic Truck Physics: Enhanced Handling

This mod enhances the game's physics engine, focusing on improved vehicle suspension and other subtle yet impactful changes. It doesn't drastically alter the gameplay but provides a more realistic driving experience for simulation enthusiasts.

Ludicrously Long Trailers: A Hilarious Challenge

Prepare for a unique and potentially chaotic experience with this mod. It introduces exceptionally long trailers, significantly increasing the challenge of navigation and maneuvering. While not multiplayer compatible, it offers a memorable (and potentially frustrating) single-player experience.

Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather: Enhanced Visuals

This mod enhances the game's weather system, offering more realistic visual effects, including improved skyboxes and various fog intensities. It delivers a visually richer experience without demanding significant system upgrades.

Slow Traffic Vehicles: Increased Realism and Challenge

Add a touch of unpredictability to your routes with this mod. Expect to encounter slow-moving vehicles like tractors and garbage trucks, creating realistic traffic scenarios and testing your patience and overtaking skills.

Optimus Prime: For Transformers Fans

Transform your trucking experience with eight different Optimus Prime skins, including options based on his various movie appearances. Requires purchasing the appropriate truck model but provides a fun and visually striking addition.

More Realistic Fines: A Riskier Approach

This mod alters the game's law enforcement system, making it less punishing for minor infractions. Speeding and running red lights may go unpunished unless caught on camera or by a police officer. However, this comes with increased risk and the potential for accidents.

These ten mods offer a diverse range of enhancements for American Truck Simulator. For those venturing across Europe, similar top-tier mods are available for Euro Truck Simulator 2.
