How to Install Mods on your Euro Truck Simulator 2 Server (ETS2 & ATS)

Shockbyte Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator servers support the use of mods. Fortunately, mods only need to be installed and enabled locally, however, you must update your server's server packages to install them onto your server.

Important: To install mods on your server, you must have the developer console enabled in-game. If you do not have the developer console enabled, please refer to this article.

How to Install Mods on your Server

To install mods onto your server, you must generate new server packages locally, and then upload them to your server. In this example, we will be installing mods onto a Euro Truck Simulator 2 server, however, the same steps can be followed for an American Truck Simulator server.

  1. Enable your desired mods using the in-game Mod Manager.
    Mod Manager button
  2. Sign into your preferred profile and start driving.

  3. Open the developer console with the ` key, then type export_server_packages and press enter.
