How to Install Mods in Euro Truck Simulator 2

Important: Your server must be in advanced mode in order to use mods.

Important: You must use an FTP program such as Filezilla.

Preparing Mods

First, install and activate the mods you want to use.

• Change uset g_console "0" to uset g_console "1"
• Change uset g_developer "0" to uset g_developer "1"

Save the changes and start your game and load a saved game.
Now open the console with the ^ key (left of the 1 key) and enter the following: export_server_packages
Exit the game and go back to the save directory.
