SOUND FIXES PACK V17.10 FOR ETS2
DESCRIPTION
– Pack provides improvements to common sounds in the game, making them feel more immersive and real.
– The goal of the mod is to make the game’s sounds feel like real life!
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Requires higher priority in Mod Manager than:
– any map mods (e.g. ProMods, RusMap, etc.)
– any AI traffic mods (e.g. Jazzycat’s traffic packs)
– any AI traffic density/behavior mods (e.g. Piva’s traffic density mod)!
CHANGELOG 17.10
After huge popular demand, Sound Fixes Pack is now available on Steam Workshop for American Truck Simulator!
There are plans for a lot more content pushed regularly on ATS in 2017 since it’s time the ATS pack gets its fair share of sounds, so now is a great time to subscribe.
Thank you to everyone who have supported this mod this year. As always, feel free to leave feedback on what sounds you want to hear and what can be improved on.
I’m always open to suggestions!
