While Scandinavia dlc was great when it came out, it lacked villages and interesting country roads in sweden, very boring if you cruise around germany and suddenly get around Danemark. overall all dlcs are good and all steps foward compared to the previous ones, and really liked Polish roads when Going east was out, Slovakian cites were cool too. but the one who really blew me away was Iberia, cities were very detailled, impressive industries, roads, very underrated imo.
Cities were very detailed in Iberia?? 😂 There is literally 0 roads through big cities, almost no villages and no country roads, it is the worst dlc ever, the Cyberpunk 2077 of the scs.
@@luizoli7268As a Portuguese, I have to agree. As much as I'm happy for having my country in the game, it's pretty underwhelming. Portugal has so many beautiful and very challenging roads but we only got highways and big citys. And even that was underwhelming. The Vasco da Gama bridge for example, the second longest bridge in Europe fells super short. I get it that it's a game, things need to be compressed, but they compressed it way too much, it feels off, smaller bridges feel just as long or even longer, like the ones in Scandinavia.
I agree, I don't see why dubrovnik is missing, also albania couldve easily had shkoder after montenegro border, and tepelene and sirande in the south, also could have added ferizaj and gjakova in kosovo since those cities are on the routes within in the game, it just seems weird
I live in Bosnia and only thing I can say it is oposite from empty, 7 cities for country that small plus many towns by the road, all I can say is amazing job scs software
Theres no worst dlc , all of them are great , i like Scandinavia and going east ,you can say they are worse coz maybe you started playing just recently, but for us the legends ,there are so much memories in going east and Scandinavia dlcd ❤
Nope, Going East is clearly the worst. Because they just built it the same generic way they made the base map back then, while they did it way better with their later DLCs.
@@euivets2892 Very true. Going East looks like the old german map from German Truck Simulator. Luckily they updated Germany and Austria and it's very nice now.
You forgot one key component of Going East which makes it the Worst: It is an essential connector in Eastern Europe, before West Balkans it was basically impossible to go from Western Europe to either the Baltics or the Balkans. That meant a huge break between well made roads and very old, unadapted roads, which breaks the immersion really. Fortunately with the Austria rework and West Balkans, that gap is bridged and Hungary can be bypassed entirely. The problem remains for the Baltics and soon to be Northern Scandinavia however. This is something that tells me that reworking Going East is quite a bigger priority than the UK, as the roads are the same, but one is isolated, the other too focal of a point.
actually its funny that even though Going East! is kind of outdated and bad quality altogether, with the recent Austria update it became more real then ever. Basically in real life its the same: if you enter Hungary from any direction, the country IRL feels old and outdated too. As a native Hungarian I can conform this :D
Very subjective list, but agree on the main points - Road to Black Sea is definititely TOP3 and Iberia is a very nice DLC, with great graphics comparing the the older parts, but a bit boring to drive, which is not the fault of SCS, its reality - lot of highways used for trucks, there :) So my list: 1. West Balkans DLC - needs some polishing, optimalization, but IMO the best looking and most importantly - funny to drive 2. Road to Black sea - still very good graphics, nice mix of cities and country roads, Balkan vibes there. And - Istanbul. Bit overkill for the ETS, but I would appreciate if more cities will look like this one (with smaller size on map) 3. Iberia - bit boring to drive, but the graphics is great (considering the SCS standard) and also, the scenery - from the green northern Spain to Almeria desert 4. Scandinavia.... old but gold :) It needs just a small revamp - textures, vegetations, few new building.
The most amazingtake away from this is how long this game has been continually developed, improved and extended. Really huge props go out to SCS for the way that ets has evolved. It really deserves being the best seller that it is.
Here's my list: 8: skandinavia (It looks really cool, but I honestly never really drive there) 7: Italia (very similar situation to skandinavia but the terrain just looks nicer) 6: Road to the black sea (I think its cool but yet again I almost don't drive there. The only reason it's so high is becouse of the west balkans) 5: Going east (I think its just the standard it might not look the best, but I really don't care that much about the map anyways) 4: West balkans (Its the most recent one, so it looks the best and it gives a nice vibe. Its the only dlc, that I don't have yet) 3: Iberia (I looks the best in my opinion, but Its a bit laggy) 2 baltic sea (It looks nice and it gives off the polish vibe and I'm from there) 1: via la france (I drive there the most and I literally can't imagine playing without it)
Hmm I disagree with 7th place (specifically cause I live there) I think Italy is actually pretty accurate for the most part and I was really happy when they released Sardinia too My overall ranking is: 7. Going East 6. Scandinavia 5. France 4. Italy 3. Beyond the Baltic Sea 2. Road to the Black Sea 1. Iberia (Haha I still haven't played in the Balkans, but soon I'm going to)
Iberia DLC is 100% not over-priced. It is the most gorgeous DLC with the most varied textures. A problem with it is that it isn't as well optimized as the ones that came before, so that beauty came with a decrease in performance. But I wouldn't say any of SCS's products are or have ever been over-priced, you get very good value with each new DLC and the pricing has remained consistent, while the quality gets better and better.
@@obezyanjejerlo Bro. UK needs a complete rework of the entire map. They need to finish germany, benelux and going east first. After that they will do Ireland and Scotland with a UK Rework. That takes time.
@@Samymaniac they've been reworking the map for too long, in update 1.50 they redid Switzerland and a small part of Germany, given that they've been updating for six months....
For me Scandinavia DLC is best because it's a very relaxing dlc if you want to drive in norway denmark or Sweden give it a try it's a awesome adventure bergen to oslo route can be tough because in Norway there are some tricky roads, i would say you should buy Scandinavia and going east first then buy the rest
West Balkans is a great addition to the ETS 2 map dlc's. My only gripe about it is there are too many border checkpoints especially cross country deliveries!
I did'nt expect that my home country along with my neigboring countries. To be the best dlc, Just because it's so old. But i think both Denmark, Norway and Sweden are underrated countries to travel to.
I bought Road to The Black Sea DLC, but forgot that Going East was also needed, so now there's a huge void of nothingness where Hungary should be. =) And I can't drive to these countries, because of the empty map.
Scandinavia was my first dlc, and i think it it should be the first option to buy, cause its normally cheap and its way better than going east. Going East just looks the generic game; while any other Dlc looks way better than base game. For me Iberia is the best cause i know most of the cities and roads; i guess the region you relate more is the one you will prefer.
I think RttBS is a bit overrated. The road density is very low, and it even lacks some major roads such as a crucial segment of DN2 in Romania that links the south and north of the country, or the landmark Transfagarasan road. What the DLC does include is very well made, but there's also a lot of wasted potential.
İdk about the others but many parts of WB's area are densely populated with AI as far as i play it recently Or is it just part of a "not public" update of 1.48.5?
Road to the black sea is a pretty damn good DLC. It was pretty groundbreaking back in 2019, especially with the improved level of detail. I have to agree with the road density tho, especially in Romania. The worst example would be Cluj-Napoca. There is only one road going into the city.
Iberia is the best because it’s the most immesive one. It really gives the feeling of how scenery looks like through truck window. Great illusion of driving around vast land. Too many highways, maybe, but it’s true to reality. Scandinavia was great when it was released but really needs some texture update today while the going east dlc needs full redo. None of these DLC’s are overpriced while you can get them quite often on discount.
As many knows specially players like me ranking on trucksbook doing more than 200.000 per month its very easy to say the best and the most important dlc to have is the Italia. Because from the border to villa san giovani is 1.300km only in 2 parts we need to slow down the truck and the rest is 99 or 100km/h in 1 hour real life. So is the best DLC. After Italia is Scandinavia. Because its important from Germany border to go Uppsala. More than 1000 km too only 1 time to slow down the truck and its always 100km/h... And of course all the rest dlc's are only to complete the map and have acess to the promods server. GG.
One thing that should be said here is promods modders are a lot more passionate about what they do. Scs software people created something they did not even think would make it through to the next year. Once they saw its potential and people's interest, it was all just about money. Sadly. They once upon a time release a dlc as stable income opportunity. They know people like it and as long as they do, they keep releasing them, coz why not?? But do you think they are really passionate? Nah. It took them 12 years now to get to learn creating somewhat authentic virtual civilization's homes. With that being said, the West balkans DLC is by far the one of best quality because it is the newest. I was in Dubrovnik in the game the other day, which looked spectacular. I was driving through thinking i could forgive them all those empty years, only to discover it was made by Promods, figuring out it does not offer that much.
I dont like how they modeled croatia... For example Zadar is for me a 3/10 (i dont like Zadar in ETS2), Rijeka looks ok, like a 6,5/10 and Dubrovnik is good but i think there has to be the old town at least in the background so its a 8/10, Pula is like a 6/10.. The problem is, these are the best cities in croatia in ets2. The other ones like Sl. Brod or Zagreb etc. don't look realistic or even nice. It would be nice too if they'd add just ONE croatian island. I know there is an easter egg (Krk) but even this easter egg isnt something special, because you can only drive on the bridge - The bridge is for me a 10/10, of course irl its bigger etc. but i dont expect more then ETS2 gave us. - but you cant even go to the town "KRK". There is only the bridge, then you have to make a u turn and thats all! They should also add some more trees like palm trees or the "mediterranean pinus" in croatia, bcs irl there are lots of them, but in ets2 there arent not that much; what they did gut, is the actual vegetation, but how I said, some palm trees and the "mediterranean pinus" would be good. I like ETS2, but they just have to rework some parts of the map, like czech, slovakia, croatia, and koper in slovenia. All in all this is a perfect video and I agree with most of here but I would give west balkans on the 6th place. Best wishes!
Thanks again for another interesting video. I have a new steam account and I will buy the best dlcs because on the first steam account, the first dlc was vive a la france. I will definitely take west balkans, after scandinavian and so on. Have a great day bro!
If i meet someone who are Polish, Czech, Slovakian or Hungarian and plays ETS2, their first DLC is always Going East, and Going East is really important DLC because withou that you can't go to the Lithuania or other Baltic State with Finland without buying Scandinavia DLC
If they add a ”post iron curtain” dlc involving Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and some more parts of Russia, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. They could perhaps have like a very long straight road all the way to Moscow, with some villages and smaller cities on the way. What I don’t like about the Scandinavia dlc is that it doesn’t stretch far north enough. It would be cool if they had like an expanded E4 highway that went all the way to Luleå or something. Trondheim, Norway should be featured too as well as Århus in Denmark. They could also add the Danish town of Helsingør. There is a boat that connects Helsingborg in Sweden with Helsingør. In Sweden there is counties without any cities at all. They could have added like Karlstad for Värmland and Halmstad for Halland. Gotland and Öland would also be very cool as a Swede. Would also be cool with a like ”nordic countries” dlc that added the rest of Finland, as well as Iceland and Faroe Islands. They can also add a little ”microstates” dlc that adds all the microstates. As well as like a ”mediterranean Islands dlc” which adds Malta and Cyprus. Those can be budget dlc’s though, because you wouldn’t really unlock that much land. But cool it would definitely be.
They already made a DLC called Hearts of Russia and it supposed to be in relise in spring 2022. But because Russian-Ukranian conflict it is delayed until everything ends.
For me i would do 8 Going East - poor quality, outdated 7 Scandinavia - imo only norway looks great, sweden and denmark needs rework 6 Italy - small amount of details but siciliy and sardinia makes it ok 5 France - lots of countryside roads with details. But paris and base game areas like dijon, strasbourg, metz needs rework 4 Beyond The Baltic - quite good but some areas around roads are empty 3 Road to the black sea - needs more countryside roads specially in carpathian mountains also like in beyond the baltic sea there are quite a lot of roads witch looks the same. Only plains with some trees. 2 Iberia - high amount of details but to many highways also luck of center of Madrit, huge gaps 1 West Balkans - i would give it 9,5/10. But belgrade and Zagreb is dissapoiment for me
I think that main problem with old dlc is lack оf time to work on them. SCS working on new content, new dlcs, and they don't have time for rework old dlcs. I think one time SCS should stop doing new content (because there already a lot of content, as I think), and start reworking old content.
@@vutomy Have you ever thought that it could be due to your settings or your setup? Both DLCs work as they should for me. You also wrote some nonsensical things in the video.
Scandinavia kinda seems overrated to me. Sure it was groundbreaking when it came out but similar to Going East it's just horrendously outdated. It's nice combinined with Promods tho. Also I would have ranked Italy higher. Apart from the poor job they did on updating base game northern Italy, it's pretty good. Also my 2 cents for Road to the Black sea. That was the first DLC where they really bumped up the quality. Unfortunately, especially in parts of Romania it feels like a detour DLC. Other DLCs like Iberia or even France have gotten some patches adding new roads. This would be a nice quality of life addition to road of the black sea aswell
I bought my first dlc, which was the one from Italy, I intend to buy the dlc from Iberia and then the one from Scandinavia, I think they are all very beautiful!
Great video, thank you. To be fair I like all of the DLC's and also ProMods. I do wish they would sort the UK though and start adding the detail they have put into West Balkans to the rest of the Map. Looking forward to seeing how the game develops though over the next few years, I think it's going to be great!
@@kunal3dyeah but far too many projects right now tho. Also there are a lot of things to rework just for Switzerland alone. And germany also need some rework so at least 4 patches already
i like the west balkans DLC because its great and has good texture and i live there but they can add more cities in serbia like sombor subotica and more...
Honestly, I like every map DLC. All of them are unique and grratly expand the available terrain Except Going East, fuck that DLC (hey at least it's cheap)
Going east, the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands really need to be reworked before anything. They are extremely outdated, more than 10 years old at this point, they just look horrific, especially the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. They use many assets from ETS 1. There's this type of big service station that is commonly found in these areas that dates back to ETS 1, it's so obvious how it was just pasted on to the map, the tarmac texture looks like something out of Minecraft. I throw up in my mouth a little every time I have to go through one of them.
i love west balkins because you can get 8 COUNTRIES FOR THE PRICE IF 17 DOLLARS?!?! for example thats atleast 1.9 dollars / country and the price for the game is 19.99 and theres around 5 countries to start i'd say thats atleast 3.998$ / country
Going to east dlc its starting to become a problem because right now if you don't have you can go to black sea dlc and west balcans and scs it's working on grece so basically 3 dlc,s can't be accessed because of one
the base game of ets2 needs the most promising rework it should add new trains and new roadwork for better connectivity and one more SCS can add one more official DLC to bring Ireland and Iceland to the mix. What do you think about this Patrick Patrikios (Vutomy).
You can maybe do ATS map expansions in the future. There is a lot of good DLC being released for that game. Oregon and Washington are a joy to drive around in
Scandinavia in first? Tells me all I need to know about your judgment. It's been far outclassed by the newer DLCs. "Adventure"? Sure not as much adventure as running a truck with a Ukraine paint scheme through Russia! Scandinavia even still uses the vanilla prefabs for junctions in countless places, including the ones where the AI always taps the brakes in the right-hand lane. No thanks, second from the bottom, no discussion.
The mountains in Scandinavia, the bridges, the villages and the cities is breath taking. Scandinavia has all features that other DLC lacks and it was optimised well
I have idea for new long trip. Visit every capital city in ETS2, you can make it as timelapse. Truck - old Scania T towing HCT or the triple silo trailer (for example for wheat).
It is quite obviously a very important DLC, because many of the newer DLCs connect with the original game parts through GE roads, but as important as it is, it lacks details and its built parts aren't even too accurate. It needs a complete rebuild ASAP.
I can not agree with the Road the Black DLC. You are mainly showing parts of Turkey but when moving out of there, nature and surroundings get pretty boring in Romania and Bulgaria. It is worth for the Turkey part only. Seems that the only cared about Turkey there.
Tbh i disagree with that raiting. Dlcs of France and Italy yes a bit old but still looks great in my opinion unlike scandinavia and going east. If france and italy need more of cosmetic rework, nordic countries and countries from "going east" need massive overhaul. But thats my opinion and you free to disagree
Hey Vutomy, by chance if you havent decided already. Could you make a No Promods required load order for 1.48.5. In the Promods discord they have said that they wouldn't want people to expect anything for a couple months. I'm sure other people would like a no Promods load order, thank you!
Neah...road to the black sea is only half baked it doesn't deserve 3rd place, for Romania they missed the important cities for the economy and most if not all the important roads and highways in the country but they invented roads where there shouldn't be any roads...they missed breath taking scenery in the mountains by not putting dn1 or the a3 highway in the game...all the connections to Hungary are wrong and the average scale of the map is too small compared to it's neighbours. If only they have put as much attention to it as they did with Turkey which indeed is amazing...
can you make a video on where are the dirt and mountain routes are located? also is there any mod that turns my map into geographical map or 3d so i can see the terrain?
Scandinavia - the best??? Are you effin serious? First of all, Italy dlc gives full Italy, same with France, Iberia and so on. Scandinavia dlc gives only 40% of Scandinavia. And the trees there look totally toyish. I was laughing when looking at some mountain because it was obviously flat and paper-like. This dlc only stands one step above Poland!
Can't it be u never was in Skandinavien? I drove thru Denmark visiting Sweden a few times and lived 7 years in Norway. And I can tell yes it's a nice DLC but it misses many stuff. Just go watch some trucker videos of Sweden and Norway and u see it not really on place one.
we if you so good at making stupid remarks about .the dlc,s maybe you should make the fuckin maps and keep them all up to date 85 pr of promods is out of date , and promods has 450 staff to date working on the one ,scs don,t have that amount , and if it was not for scs software you would not be playing eurotruck or american truck sim

As many knows specially players like me ranking on trucksbook doing more than 200.000 per month its very easy to say the best and the most important dlc to have is the Italia. Because from the border to villa san giovani is 1.300km only in 2 parts we need to slow down the truck and the rest is 99 or 100km/h in 1 hour real life. So is the best DLC.
After Italia is Scandinavia. Because its important from Germany border to go Uppsala. More than 1000 km too only 1 time to slow down the truck and its always 100km/h...
And of course all the rest dlc's are only to complete the map and have acess to the promods server.
GG.
You can't possibly place Scandinavia below Italia.
3:56 over priced? Definitely not! 55 Cities compared to other DLCs, 17.99 isn't over priced :D
Zgadzam się co do Skandynawii. Jak na tamte czasy to był krok na przód. Jakość wykonania jest na wysokim poziomie zwłaszcza w porównaniu z resztą mapy
Very true. It was nicely designed and optimised
One thing that should be said here is promods modders are a lot more passionate about what they do. Scs software people created something they did not even think would make it through to the next year. Once they saw its potential and people's interest, it was all just about money. Sadly. They once upon a time release a dlc as stable income opportunity. They know people like it and as long as they do, they keep releasing them, coz why not?? But do you think they are really passionate? Nah. It took them 12 years now to get to learn creating somewhat authentic virtual civilization's homes. With that being said, the West balkans DLC is by far the one of best quality because it is the newest. I was in Dubrovnik in the game the other day, which looked spectacular. I was driving through thinking i could forgive them all those empty years, only to discover it was made by Promods, figuring out it does not offer that much.
You are really blind if you put Italia on the second last place. It's one of the best DLC that has been released up to now
I hear u
I dont like how they modeled croatia... For example Zadar is for me a 3/10 (i dont like Zadar in ETS2), Rijeka looks ok, like a 6,5/10 and Dubrovnik is good but i think there has to be the old town at least in the background so its a 8/10, Pula is like a 6/10.. The problem is, these are the best cities in croatia in ets2. The other ones like Sl. Brod or Zagreb etc. don't look realistic or even nice. It would be nice too if they'd add just ONE croatian island. I know there is an easter egg (Krk) but even this easter egg isnt something special, because you can only drive on the bridge - The bridge is for me a 10/10, of course irl its bigger etc. but i dont expect more then ETS2 gave us. - but you cant even go to the town "KRK". There is only the bridge, then you have to make a u turn and thats all! They should also add some more trees like palm trees or the "mediterranean pinus" in croatia, bcs irl there are lots of them, but in ets2 there arent not that much; what they did gut, is the actual vegetation, but how I said, some palm trees and the "mediterranean pinus" would be good. I like ETS2, but they just have to rework some parts of the map, like czech, slovakia, croatia, and koper in slovenia. All in all this is a perfect video and I agree with most of here but I would give west balkans on the 6th place. Best wishes!
I agree 100%.
Thanks again for another interesting video. I have a new steam account and I will buy the best dlcs because on the first steam account, the first dlc was vive a la france. I will definitely take west balkans, after scandinavian and so on. Have a great day bro!
If i meet someone who are Polish, Czech, Slovakian or Hungarian and plays ETS2, their first DLC is always Going East, and Going East is really important DLC because withou that you can't go to the Lithuania or other Baltic State with Finland without buying Scandinavia DLC
If they add a ”post iron curtain” dlc involving Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and some more parts of Russia, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. They could perhaps have like a very long straight road all the way to Moscow, with some villages and smaller cities on the way.
What I don’t like about the Scandinavia dlc is that it doesn’t stretch far north enough. It would be cool if they had like an expanded E4 highway that went all the way to Luleå or something. Trondheim, Norway should be featured too as well as Århus in Denmark. They could also add the Danish town of Helsingør. There is a boat that connects Helsingborg in Sweden with Helsingør. In Sweden there is counties without any cities at all. They could have added like Karlstad for Värmland and Halmstad for Halland. Gotland and Öland would also be very cool as a Swede.
Would also be cool with a like ”nordic countries” dlc that added the rest of Finland, as well as Iceland and Faroe Islands.
They can also add a little ”microstates” dlc that adds all the microstates. As well as like a ”mediterranean Islands dlc” which adds Malta and Cyprus. Those can be budget dlc’s though, because you wouldn’t really unlock that much land. But cool it would definitely be.
They already made a DLC called Hearts of Russia and it supposed to be in relise in spring 2022. But because Russian-Ukranian conflict it is delayed until everything ends.
@@Dima-2468 Would be cool if they included like Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova too though in the DLC, those countries are really missing
All of them lack seasons! (long days/short nights in the summer vs winter, SNOW!!
im in love with west balkans as it isnt all highway like the rest of the standard countries (Germany, UK,....)
For me i would do
8 Going East - poor quality, outdated
7 Scandinavia - imo only norway looks great, sweden and denmark needs rework
6 Italy - small amount of details but siciliy and sardinia makes it ok
5 France - lots of countryside roads with details. But paris and base game areas like dijon, strasbourg, metz needs rework
4 Beyond The Baltic - quite good but some areas around roads are empty
3 Road to the black sea - needs more countryside roads specially in carpathian mountains also like in beyond the baltic sea there are quite a lot of roads witch looks the same. Only plains with some trees.
2 Iberia - high amount of details but to many highways also luck of center of Madrit, huge gaps
1 West Balkans - i would give it 9,5/10. But belgrade and Zagreb is dissapoiment for me
Belgrade BIG dissapoiment
Road to black sea ismy favorite still
They probably never been to Serbia but I have to say well done for how they made Užice (altrough it's not a city in the game) but looks 1/1
Its nice and beautiful
I think that main problem with old dlc is lack оf time to work on them. SCS working on new content, new dlcs, and they don't have time for rework old dlcs. I think one time SCS should stop doing new content (because there already a lot of content, as I think), and start reworking old content.
Me2... that's what i think
But they want to make money with DLCs
@@vutomy yeah, that's true
Uma hora eles vão parar,já que a Europa não é tão grande
Why did you add photos from mods or Going east and previews from trailers to the WB?
Scandinavia is good, but the old textures really bother me.
But its playable. West Balkans and Iberia are poorly optimized
@@vutomy Have you ever thought that it could be due to your settings or your setup? Both DLCs work as they should for me. You also wrote some nonsensical things in the video.
@@vutomy so poorly optimized that in Iberia, it's just Euro Lag Simulator for my (Integreted graphic + i3 10th gen + 8 GB ram) low end laptop
@@vutomy imagine you cant run ets2 smoothly even with the new dlcs because your pc is so shit💀Your pc would burn if you try promods lmao
Before Going East we had very little if it wasn't for the modding scene
Scandinavia kinda seems overrated to me. Sure it was groundbreaking when it came out but similar to Going East it's just horrendously outdated. It's nice combinined with Promods tho.
Also I would have ranked Italy higher. Apart from the poor job they did on updating base game northern Italy, it's pretty good.
Also my 2 cents for Road to the Black sea. That was the first DLC where they really bumped up the quality. Unfortunately, especially in parts of Romania it feels like a detour DLC. Other DLCs like Iberia or even France have gotten some patches adding new roads. This would be a nice quality of life addition to road of the black sea aswell
I hear u
to me poland is most annoying toll paying wise,balkans are not bad but border checkpoints are frustrating
I bought my first dlc, which was the one from Italy, I intend to buy the dlc from Iberia and then the one from Scandinavia, I think they are all very beautiful!
In my opinion Iberia is boring, its mainly highways but Scandinavia highly recommend
@@ashrc1889 And because it's my dream to live in Portugal in real life, I think it's simply amazing there, but anyway thanks for the tip 🤝
Great video, thank you. To be fair I like all of the DLC's and also ProMods. I do wish they would sort the UK though and start adding the detail they have put into West Balkans to the rest of the Map. Looking forward to seeing how the game develops though over the next few years, I think it's going to be great!
Yeah
Ooh UK, I literally forgot UK is also in the game. Dev's have forgotten it too.
@@kunal3dyeah but far too many projects right now tho. Also there are a lot of things to rework just for Switzerland alone. And germany also need some rework so at least 4 patches already
i like the west balkans DLC because its great and has good texture and i live there but they can add more cities in serbia like sombor subotica and more...
Its great
Honestly, I like every map DLC. All of them are unique and grratly expand the available terrain
Except Going East, fuck that DLC (hey at least it's cheap)
Going east its just old
the going east dlc is mby outdated, but i could not imagine the game without it
When you buy a dlc is it connected to the map that’s free?
Going east, the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands really need to be reworked before anything. They are extremely outdated, more than 10 years old at this point, they just look horrific, especially the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. They use many assets from ETS 1. There's this type of big service station that is commonly found in these areas that dates back to ETS 1, it's so obvious how it was just pasted on to the map, the tarmac texture looks like something out of Minecraft. I throw up in my mouth a little every time I have to go through one of them.
Very true. Those places needs to be reworked and have the same standard as west balkans dlc
Waiting the Greek dlc to be one of the best maps in the game
I would put: 8. Going east 7. Iberia 6. Italia 5. Baltic Sea 4. Black sea 3. France 2. Scandinavia 1. West Balkans
Why iberia no.7
I just want to ask, do newly made DLCs go on 50% sale (they didnt in autumn and winter sale)
Not really
Scandavania DLC features Scania and Volvo factories.
Yes. Also HTC
i love west balkins because you can get 8 COUNTRIES FOR THE PRICE IF 17 DOLLARS?!?! for example thats atleast 1.9 dollars / country and the price for the game is 19.99 and theres around 5 countries to start i'd say thats atleast 3.998$ / country
Do i need to purchase again the dlc after I updated the game to a newer version? Or the dlc is a one time purchase?
all the dlcs are a one time purchase, you dont need to rebuy them if the game updates or anything
1..West balkan..2 Iberia..3 scandinavia
looks like you mixed the clips when editing at 6:40 to 6:50 because thats Going East or Base game and not West Balkans
Keen eye
Good thing in Beyond the baltic sea is there are no road customs.
Nice
I would love a rework of the Netherlands
Which one has the most challenging roads tho?😢
Going to east dlc its starting to become a problem because right now if you don't have you can go to black sea dlc and west balcans and scs it's working on grece so basically 3 dlc,s can't be accessed because of one
the base game of ets2 needs the most promising rework it should add new trains and new roadwork for better connectivity and one more SCS can add one more official DLC to bring Ireland and Iceland to the mix. What do you think about this Patrick Patrikios (Vutomy).
Lol. ScS are neglecting the most crucial updates and focus on trailer addition and map dlc. We need interactivity in the game
i think scs need to update the UK,and then add iceland and ireland
You can maybe do ATS map expansions in the future.
There is a lot of good DLC being released for that game. Oregon and Washington are a joy to drive around in
You made a mistake in Utaly, but thats alright. I thing going east is the best, because it was the first one so scs thought its the best to add.
and also very cheap to buy compared to the other dlc's
Lol
1:29 there is a typo ''Utaly'' instead ''Italy''.
who doesn't like the new sound of truck traffic too? i hate it,because the old sounds been better
Scandinavia in first? Tells me all I need to know about your judgment. It's been far outclassed by the newer DLCs. "Adventure"? Sure not as much adventure as running a truck with a Ukraine paint scheme through Russia!
Scandinavia even still uses the vanilla prefabs for junctions in countless places, including the ones where the AI always taps the brakes in the right-hand lane. No thanks, second from the bottom, no discussion.
The mountains in Scandinavia, the bridges, the villages and the cities is breath taking.
Scandinavia has all features that other DLC lacks and it was optimised well
I have idea for new long trip. Visit every capital city in ETS2, you can make it as timelapse. Truck - old Scania T towing HCT or the triple silo trailer (for example for wheat).
Why not every capital city in ets2?
I wrote every. What do you mean "why not every"?
Also keep in mind you need an extra mod for the HCTs since theyre only allowed in Finland in the base game i think
@@skipthefox4858 you can buy them in some countries, but you can drive them everywhere
@@SomKing123 Ahh
In my opinion Going East is important DLC.
Yes. Very
It is quite obviously a very important DLC, because many of the newer DLCs connect with the original game parts through GE roads, but as important as it is, it lacks details and its built parts aren't even too accurate. It needs a complete rebuild ASAP.
Nice video. Scandinavian still the best for me.
It is the best teust me
@@vutomy especially Belt Bridge, Øresund Bridge, and two Truck Plants.
Scandinavia DLC looks best in the dark winter nights
Yes
I can not agree with the Road the Black DLC. You are mainly showing parts of Turkey but when moving out of there, nature and surroundings get pretty boring in Romania and Bulgaria. It is worth for the Turkey part only. Seems that the only cared about Turkey there.
Plz plz can any one tell which dlc includes village ,off-road area a little bit???
I prefer to drive small roads, rather then highways
Ok
UK is very tired looking, needs updating
True
Now, in what order should I get them?
Going east. Scandinavia. Black Sea. Vive la france. Iberia. Italia. West balkans. Beyond baltic sea
@@vutomyI got the scandinavian map first because i wanted to see the scania factory. Scania is my favorite truck btw.
Thank you@@vutomy
Tbh i disagree with that raiting.
Dlcs of France and Italy yes a bit old but still looks great in my opinion unlike scandinavia and going east. If france and italy need more of cosmetic rework, nordic countries and countries from "going east" need massive overhaul.
But thats my opinion and you free to disagree
Olryt
Pro mods is pro mods it has more cities and roads still
Yes bro
I don't agree to what you said about DLCs. I really think they are all beautiful and not poor.
Textures
They are good too
Bro how to fix redgear gamepad not working in windows 11 ( not compatible issue)
Hey Vutomy, by chance if you havent decided already. Could you make a No Promods required load order for 1.48.5. In the Promods discord they have said that they wouldn't want people to expect anything for a couple months. I'm sure other people would like a no Promods load order, thank you!
No Promods Map combo would remove all promods addons. Including PL Rebuilding
@@vutomy Ahh true, did not take that into consideration.
@@frynp4nI have made a video of a non promods West Balkans map combo if you are interested?
@@Bogdac Ooh, yes please! Would like to see it.
Bro what operating system u use for your pc
Win 11
Can I buy West Balkans even if I don't have Going East? Is it possible?
Buy going east first
Neah...road to the black sea is only half baked it doesn't deserve 3rd place, for Romania they missed the important cities for the economy and most if not all the important roads and highways in the country but they invented roads where there shouldn't be any roads...they missed breath taking scenery in the mountains by not putting dn1 or the a3 highway in the game...all the connections to Hungary are wrong and the average scale of the map is too small compared to it's neighbours. If only they have put as much attention to it as they did with Turkey which indeed is amazing...
can you make a video on where are the dirt and mountain routes are located? also is there any mod that turns my map into geographical map or 3d so i can see the terrain?
Scandinavia - the best??? Are you effin serious? First of all, Italy dlc gives full Italy, same with France, Iberia and so on. Scandinavia dlc gives only 40% of Scandinavia. And the trees there look totally toyish. I was laughing when looking at some mountain because it was obviously flat and paper-like. This dlc only stands one step above Poland!
Can't it be u never was in Skandinavien?
I drove thru Denmark visiting Sweden a few times and lived 7 years in Norway.
And I can tell yes it's a nice DLC but it misses many stuff.
Just go watch some trucker videos of Sweden and Norway and u see it not really on place one.
I hear u
I wouldn't have put Iberia this high, because of it's AWFUL optimization.
The whole ets2 is poorly optimised
1:32 utaly 😂
My girlfriend types
For ets2
why scandinavia is rated 1 :) i think road to black sea, west balkans is best dlc.
You should take a trip to Norway
Utaly is great but ITALY IS BETTER
Lol. 😂😂😂
it is going east that is the worst right now. its very old so there is no shocking
1:30 Utaly?
we if you so good at making stupid remarks about .the dlc,s maybe you should make the fuckin maps and keep them all up to date 85 pr of promods is out of date , and promods has 450 staff to date working on the one ,scs don,t have that amount , and if it was not for scs software you would not be playing eurotruck or american truck sim
UK and France need update
True
I want to buy one do you recommend west balkans or road to black sea?(I have scandinavia and going east)
Men, buy both, on sale ofc cause you'll save like 12 euros and because both are Balkan and dont differ that much
1:31 Utaly
Scandinavia is the worst imo
Number one is just biased
Scandinavia dlc very overrated
i think the france dlc is the worst one because i hate france
What did france do to you?
Kosovo is serbia
