A must have, works great for me.

Dark & Realistic™ Madruguinha, thanks for the info

@Gl00ria
Because trains in game are part of traffic. Their files have info like speed, density and location like road traffic.

@Entity of the Void, yes. already reported the issue on the mod's page. he confirmed that his mod changes the traffic file/s idk why he does that

@Gl00ria did you have the correct load order. That mod page specifies realistic train length needs to be above sound fixes mod and below this mod and other ai traffic mods. It works fine for me. Only issue I have is traffic literally spawning out of nowhere right in front of me.

@Dedywka, Zeemod sound mods do not conflict with this traffic density mod. You should start by checking your mods and or mod load order.

in case you encountered a crash and came here to figure it out.
disable this mod (Realistic Train Length: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3141395603)

it is the reason. i spent 2 days deep diving into my +600 mods to figure it out. and it also crashes with another traffic mod. the crash log don't make sense & it seems this mod changes smth related to the traffic as I saw in the game log.

Question does this mod work in convoy?

Very good MOD. Finally, there's decent traffic on the roads. Even if it makes it difficult to meet delivery times for some orders. It's fun. Thanks.

Works again, much appreciated

по хайвеям и фривеям все хорошо, маленькие города тоже, но большие города пустые, не ощущается, что въезжаешь или проезжаешь город.Минимальное движение,пустые дороги.

where can I find this truck or another old truck like this?

@Ciprus good job bro thanks to you I can enjoy realistic traffic on Geforce Now god bless you brother

Forgot the other question...
There is a mod in here that is titled "Realistic Drivers" and I wonder if it claims to be doing what you have already described to have done here?

This mod is so well done!
I will however say the amount of traffic can be a bit overwhelming at times. Especially in small towns and rural areas that seem a bit to congested.

So I noticed something and have a couple questions.
I haven't played ATS in some time now, and recently stepped back in with an old favorite common traffic mod active. I noticed the traffic behavior was bit more realistic and unpredictable.Which is a good thing. Just like RL.
However with this mod active some of the AI are just bat s#@t crazy, just like 25 years of RL truck driving.
Is this because of the traffic mods,or did SCS change the AI too?

I might adjust the density down a little in the config file.

At first the game would not load with mod activated, but after I got wise and placed it above the train mod I have installed it works fine. Traffic looks and feels more realistic now, and forces me to be a more cautious driver as well. Very well done.

Thank you for the update

@Cipus, I ran like hell. Didn't encounter any unusual traffic incidents although there were accidents, merging issues from 2 lane to one lane(coding) and the occasional off ramp runner refusing to yield to oncoming interstate 65 to 70 mile an hour traffic(coding). Those are areas of traffic density beyond your control.

Flow vs time of day/night was excellent as usual. I did not notice any AI vehicles stopping halfway thru the turn when attempting right-hand turns on green lights at intersections. Overall dealing with traffic density was a great experience 😉

maximum vehicle count you lowered to 500

@Cipus, external version for 1.56 tested working with no problems here thanks for the updates!

test patch working fine, no issues

Everything seems smooth, also tested it with the recently updated jazzycat mods (except trucks) and no errors on game.log related to traffic

yes sure will follow, let's see first how it works, still wait feedback (in english)

Update 1.56 on Steam will follow ? :-)

Retro_Miami
В этом моде пробок нет вообще даже днем, хотя поток трафика довольно плотный, когда ночью в крупном городе попадается всего 1-2 автомобиля на встречке ну такое себе, не очень реалистично...
Если нужны пробки то брутал траффик в помощь)

x.krugger
А ты хочешь стоять в пробке посреди ночи?

Отличный мод, но вот ночью трафика очень мало, он практически отсутствует.

@Cipus, I will test later and leave feedback.

the mods works fine in 1.56, anyway here is an update for 1.56 in which I edited some rules in traffic_data. should you wish to see the difference you can test the external mod before I will upload it on Steam: https://sharemods.com/26at6979ucvw/Real_Traffic_Density_ATS_1.56.scs.html

@FindFloppies, this mod does not cause CTD in 1.56. I run over 100+ mods. Only had CTD with route advisors.

FindFloppies...check the gamelog just after the CTD... it may and very possibly recorded the crash instance

I can't prove it, but without this mod in 1.56, I'm just fine, and can run some other updated traffic mods, but this one does load, and does run...for a time, and then the game crashes out. So, I can' prove this is the cause, but I can infer it. So hopefully the cause can be found. I'm not using this at the moment because of the issues.

@Cip, thanks for the heads-up 😉

I had a quick look and it should work well in 1.56 but a friend will provide a proper update for 1.56

in weekend?

1.56 when

I see a conversation below mentioning SCS changed something in traffic patterns.
I am now noticing that some vehicles are turning left from right hand lanes, and into the closest lane as well.
Of course they have collided with me a few times.
Which does kind of keep you on your toes I guess. But its also annoying.
Did some searching and can't find anyone else talking about it.
Seeing this in a profile with no mods as well.

Dropping a comment about what I found with this mod.
It does work in 1.55, but did cause a game crash when placed in the list like a another good previous traffic mod. Fixed the crash by moving this one up the list to above an extended train mod. Its the only other mod I could see that might conflict with it.

does this work for 1.55?

Nevermind worked for only a short time

I got it to work so far so good! Had to place it almost at the very top of the order.

well then I should be happy to play 1.49 and I feel sorry that traffic is no longer the same. from my side I will only remove any rules from traffic_data.sii and let traffic spawn as SCS wants

@patrickp992, Yes there have been changes made regarding traffic since version 1.49. Technically Cip's mod runs on 1.55, I don't think it takes advantage of the new AI spawn logic, time profiles, or weather based traffic behavior introduced in later game versions since he's still running 1.49.

Man I knew I wasn't crazy, I have a video recorded about a year ago and traffic was literally 4 times as much as it is today. I made a little comparison of that vs now.

I also have a clip from April this year, and it worked fine so I believe 1.55 kinda broke it

wow thanks

yes it works in 1.55

1.55 work?

1.55?

I feel like there was a LOT more traffic in game version 1.54
Somehow all the traffic is behind me, despite sticking to the speed limit, and oncoming lanes are especially dead
