Note that compatibility may vary, but you can easily enable/disable mods within the game.

TruckersMP: Hit the Road with Friends

While American Truck Simulator now features multiplayer, the TruckersMP mod offers a significantly enhanced experience. Team up with up to 63 other players across multiple servers, all moderated to ensure fair play. It surpasses the built-in Convoy mode in several aspects.

Realistic Truck Wear: Maintain Your Rig

This mod refines the damage system for a more realistic and challenging experience. Repair and retread tires, but be prepared for higher insurance costs – driving safely is rewarded! The Steam Workshop discussions, featuring real-world trucker insights, are a worthwhile read.

Sound Fixes Pack: Immersive Audio Enhancements

This mod, also available for Euro Truck Simulator 2, introduces numerous audio improvements and new sounds. From enhanced wind sounds with open windows to subtle reverb under bridges, it significantly boosts the game's atmosphere. Plus, five new air horns!

Real Companies, Gas Stations, and Billboards: Authenticity on the Road

Inject real-world brands into your ATS journey with this mod. See familiar names like Walmart, UPS, and Shell, adding a layer of realism to the game's environments.

Realistic Truck Physics: Improved Handling

Enhance the driving experience with improved vehicle suspension and other realistic physics adjustments. This mod focuses on subtle but impactful changes that will appeal to simulation enthusiasts. Also available for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Ludicrously Long Trailers: A Hilarious Challenge

Prepare for a unique and challenging experience with this mod. Haul absurdly long loads, but be warned: this mod is not compatible with multiplayer.

Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather: Enhanced Visuals

Experience more realistic weather effects and improved visuals without demanding high-end hardware. Enjoy enhanced fog, dynamic skyboxes, and a more immersive visual experience.

Slow Traffic Vehicles: Unexpected Roadblocks

Add a touch of realism (and frustration) with this mod, which introduces slow-moving vehicles like tractors and garbage trucks to the roadways. Overtaking becomes a strategic challenge.

Optimus Prime: Roll Out in Style

Transformers fans rejoice! Eight different Optimus Prime skins are available, including options from various movie iterations. Requires purchasing the appropriate truck model, but the result is well worth the effort.
