3. Steam will auto-download/auto-update these mods when they become available.

5. On this screen you'll find all the mods you Subscribed to, click on 'Activate' to turn them on.
6. Press 'Save' and that's it.
Please note, if you disable a Mod or you 'Unsubscribe' from a Mod, your Save may become corrupt or it may revert to your last saved position.
1. First download a mod, please note most websites feature stolen, reuploaded and illegal mods (don't use these) and they contain malware to infect/inject your PC with viruses. Please see the links below for verified mods that don't feature malware.
Safe Links:
2. After you downloaded a mod, it's now to place it into the folder.
- Windows: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\mod / %USERPROFILE%\Documents\American Truck Simulator 2\mod
