For those not on my Patreon I just wanted to let you know what my mod update plans will be for 1.40.
First up expect no updates through Open Beta.
1.40 is probably the biggest change to effect mods in the history of SCS games. While most mods will appear to function with no log errors, the fact is even the simplest of materials/textures not updated to new versions can affect the whole game world lighting.
Continue reading 1.40 Update PlansSo outside of my other obligations I have been doing a bit of tinkering and planning.
Since 1.40 will bring new lighting I have decided now is a good a time as any to look into updating my flares in the ATS/ETS2 Truck accessories as well as the Custom Trailer mod.
The first change will be folder locations. Rather than have separate ones for the two ETS2 mods, they are going to use the same folder. This means any general additions I make for the trucks, can be thrown into the trailer one without any effort. The only differences will be the text files and file names.
Continue reading Productive daysThe ATS AI vans mod got an update to include Vitas Power and NAMIQ to Colorado and New Mexico.
This will likely be the final blog post of the year, so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
For those of you who aren’t transphobic or homophobic, I’ve released a couple of skins based on the Freightliner Cascadia Daimler Pride skin and the Hirschbach Motor Lines Rainbow Rider skin.
Both skins are for the s72 RR cab.
Now available on the Steam Workshop
Due to the announcement that 1.40 will include the lighting change and the note that assets need to be updated. All mods are now on hold.
Since it’s highly likely my mods will require updating to properly work with 1.40 I see no point in adding/updating mods at this time until I know how much will need to be redone.
At this time I am expecting all models that use SCS parts to require a rework, which basically means 99% of my mods.
I THINK that old models might cause minor issues, if that is the case then my mods will remain on the website and updated as I can, but if there are significant issue I will simply remove all mods from the site completely and add them back as they are updated.
Whatever the case may be, I will focus on updating Workshop mods before the ones hosted here and most likely the ATS ones first.
I already posted this on the FB group, but for those who aren’t a member. Here’s a little preview of what is coming to the Accessory Pack later this week.
Edit: This released on the 24th.
The Colton mod has had an update pushed through to fix the broken shop icon.
Also congrats to the winners of the Colorado DLC give-a-way.

The new Gutenberg block editor is hideous and shit. I am legit considering dropping WordPress completely and looking else where. But for now the classic editor will do.
More importantly Brooks Bros is now released. It would have been yesterday but I was distracting with flying planes in the new MS Flight Sim. So ner.
