hoping we could get an update (1.55) by any chance
WeeWoo 29 Mar @ 9:29pm 
@jpollard79 I'm gonna guess that it's not, and probably won't be updated to 1.53.X, or any newer game versions. Color me pleasantly surprised if things change, however.
jpollard79 4 Mar @ 4:37am 
I'm guessing by the comments, this was never updated to 1.53, correct?
Starboy 16 Dec, 2024 @ 12:52pm 
UPDATE please!!!!! :steamsad:
bundaberg rum 15 Oct, 2024 @ 6:59am 
hey dude, 100% off topic. but do you have up to date light/flarepack fix for the tautliners?
NativeThumper84 4 Oct, 2024 @ 9:57pm 
is it possible to have the trucks generate randomly while you sleep? so it looks like trucks left during your rest period and new trucks pulled in afterwards

Any updates?

Hi There @[AF] Digit Hope All Is Well ? May I Ask Will We Be Getting An UpDate 1.51 For This Great Mod At All ?

It's working for me. I can't tell a major effect on stutters/fps even with modded trailers.
FunGaming44 16 Jul, 2024 @ 3:26pm 
causing a lot of stutters indeed needs a big update to make it work better with 1.50
webbdavi2023 14 Jul, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
It technically works, but caused major stutters and fps loss for me in 1.50
Artoblanishe 28 Jun, 2024 @ 11:42am 
1.50 it's worked?
Fallen Angels 20 May, 2024 @ 7:41pm 
Is this update for 1.50?
madmexNL 13 Jan, 2024 @ 3:18pm 
Is this working with ATS Expansion and can we get an update for 1.49
DTS-TEXASMAN 5 Jan, 2024 @ 5:47pm 
is this update for 1.49 sir?
Sir Oinksalot 31 Aug, 2023 @ 7:35am 
Will this effect anything else in the game?
Diesel JC 1 Aug, 2023 @ 3:20am 
Does this work with 1.48?
RacingMower103 28 Jul, 2023 @ 2:43pm 
well I third that one @Dead Dave
I also hope it gets updated to 1.48
Dead Dave 12 Jul, 2023 @ 7:34am 
This has been said by another user on March 9th, but I would second his/her suggestion that, if possible, to make the truck stops more crowded. Perhaps only 4 or 5 spots open where we would have to search to find a place. Truck stops in the vanilla game are too empty IMO. Thanks for the mod.
d goldhaber 21 May, 2023 @ 11:07pm 
I saw that in Arizona dlc there is truck stops that you see trucks and trailers from ai traffic mods so if you cen bring it to the oll map it will be amazing
juanredman 15 Apr, 2023 @ 5:02pm 
Hi does this mod work with 1.47 ?
Damgam 15 Apr, 2023 @ 6:55am 
Could the same thing be done to all parkings in the game?
The amount of parked cars in some areas is quite... big. :D
Memnoch 5 Apr, 2023 @ 7:44am 
Does this alter where a job asks you to park the trailer? If not, perhaps there is another mod for that.
Syneios 31 Mar, 2023 @ 3:13pm 
Not sure how one would go about it but just tossing an idea/request out there.

Any chance they can be made to leave their parking lights on at night? I find myself unable to see anyone at night.
AvidGamer11 13 Mar, 2023 @ 3:05pm 
That would be cool, I've been trying to find a mod like that
=PgT= Zero_CN_Reaper 8 Mar, 2023 @ 2:36pm 
If this actually made the truck stop parking fuller at night where you have to actually look for a spot to park, that to me would be better.

Hell, I subscribed just for your 'Terms of Use'. Better said than anyone else I've read...oh, and it's a great mod.
[AF] Digit  [author] 1 Feb, 2023 @ 7:58pm 
The level of improvement in FPS will be dependant on many variables, however it is only consequential due to the fact that there will be less truck & trailer combinations spawning, it was not the primary objective of this mod.
You can place this mod anywhere as long as it is above any truck stop mods.
If you are wanting more trucks parked at night I would recommend trying one of the few truck stop mods around.
The spawning of objects in-game, as set by SCS, is not based on time but on proximity to the players position. You won't see any change in the truck & trailer combinations parked regardless of how much time passes, you will need to leave the proximity of the parking lot and then return for the change to occur (I hope this is something SCS can improve in the future).

I put it at the top of the mod manager and I don't see any change. More precisely, there are fewer trucks in the parking lot, but with the change in time, the same trucks remain.
Opus Aeterna 31 Jan, 2023 @ 6:46pm 
Hi, I would also download it if there are more trucks parked by nigth.
Forgottxn 31 Jan, 2023 @ 1:19pm 
Hey. If you can make it so the parking lot is almost full at night and is about as it is normally during the day, I would definitely download.
DGAF_AK87 31 Jan, 2023 @ 1:13pm 
@HU12. You might want to read this part.

Frame Rate Effect: Slight Improvement

OP does mention FPS
HU1212ICAN3 31 Jan, 2023 @ 11:45am 
Also, @kemetic7GoD4 why would you expect it to change FPS? Its just a space edit and a little coding. Its not loading anything else or adding external stuff. Nor did he say anything about FPS.
HU1212ICAN3 31 Jan, 2023 @ 11:43am 
Also, why do people list things online different than how they are listed in game? Like why even list here the OPPOSITE what is shows in game lmao. That just gets confusing because some people post top-bottom and others post bottom-top. Fucking stop that shit.
HU1212ICAN3 31 Jan, 2023 @ 11:40am 
You know....i feel like the answer to that should be pretty obvious lol. Its a world space edit, that involves placement of trucks. So after anything that modifies either of those 2, should be fine. Personally, i have it at the top-ish so it loads before everything. I just kinda hate how he didnt move the gas station interactions as well. they're about 10 feet away from the pumps lol. It looks really dumb when you're filling up, but otherwise, a neat mod for sure. No issues here.
Alaska Airlines 31 Jan, 2023 @ 4:38am 
I have the following arrangement of mods in the MANAGER Bottom - Top:
1. Maps at the very bottom.
2. Combinations and corrections to cards.
3. Trucks and other mods for them (Tuning, Skins, Accessories, Sounds, etc.).
4. SiSil Mega Pack.
5. Trailers.
6. Traffic.
7. Different gameplay. (Here I have your mods installed)
8. General sound game mods.
9. Mods for graphics, weather and climate.

Where should your mod be?
kemetic7GoD4 30 Jan, 2023 @ 10:34pm 
so did this really improve fps for anyone?
letter_ 30 Jan, 2023 @ 9:27pm 
*insert the angelic chorus* this is amazing
^5-DB-^0LeadSlinger 30 Jan, 2023 @ 9:47am 
What would be really cool, would be the number of spaces available start decreasing around 5pm, and you get less every hour until say 9pm where there are only 2 or 3 spaces left. Something like that. Would make it more realistic, and more of a challenge, especially if you back from inside your cab. And changing seasons, with the proper hours of light available depending on the time of year would be neat as well. Just some suggestions for SCS or a talented modder. lol.
m3L0 29 Jan, 2023 @ 5:55pm 
A dynamic mod that improves realism and FPS? Why can not all modders be such geniuses? Thanks for this! :friendinneed:

This mod you really increase the realism in the game. The following mods are compatible:

SCS Companies Traffic Pack (For vanilla players)
Original SCS trailers in traffic
Tuned Truck Traffic Pack by TrafficManiac

On a truck stop I noticed that all three mods come out and you can see the truck skins from the SCS Companies Traffic Pack mod, then the single trucks from the original SCS trailers in traffic mod and tuned trucks from the Tuned Truck Traffic Pack by TrafficManiac mod. I like that already much, MUCH BETTER! GENIAL!

Many thanks again to the modder!

Are you using any AI traffic mods with this mod?
Golden_Wolf_Furry 28 Jan, 2023 @ 12:55am 
I dont know if this mod is causing this or not but i saw a bunch of trailers with no trucks at one of the truck stops, this is the first time i noticed it so i dont know if this is happening with multiple truck stops or not.
[AF] Digit  [author] 27 Jan, 2023 @ 9:19pm 
@a_fj You only need to place this above any truck stop mods, with regards to any traffic mods it won't matter if it is above or below. If you play the game without this mod you will be able to see the maximum number of truck & trailer combinations (how packed the stops usually are) at any given truck stop or parking area as set by SCS. If you want to have very limited parking spaces available I would recommend using one of the few truck stop mods around.

@masto Increasing the number of trucks parking in truck stops vs Making the truck parking dynamic are two very different modifications. Increasing the number of trucks parking requires a large amount of map editing as well as model editing, neither of which I have needed to do here. You would be best to speak with the original creators to see if they can update their mod, or even you could give it a try yourself.
masto 27 Jan, 2023 @ 1:31pm 
@[AF] Digit I know, but unfortunately they’re not up to date and don’t work with the current version, especially with the newest Texas DLC so I guessed maybe you could include this in your mod :)
Penumbra1979 27 Jan, 2023 @ 9:27am 
@[AF] Digit

Thank you for checking into that. :steamthumbsup:
a_fj 27 Jan, 2023 @ 6:39am 
Hi! Thanks for your work making truck stops more real. Are we installing it above or below any traffic mods, or just anywhere doesn't matter? Also, as someone has already mentioned, how packed are the stops usually? Possible to have very limited parking spaces available?
[AF] Digit  [author] 27 Jan, 2023 @ 2:46am 
@Penumbra1979 I can confirm Jazzycat & TrafficManiac AI mods use their own chains so this mod won't have any affect on them.

@masto There a a few truck stop mods around that will increase the number of trucks yes
