I'm trying to install pro mods.
Firstly, let me say that i have never installed mods on any game, ever.

ok, so the instructions say that, after extracting the archive, i should have 4 files (def-vXXX.scs, map-vXXX.scs, model-vXXX.scs, vXXX.scs). HOWEVER, i have 6 files (assets-v200.scs, def-v200.scs, map-v200.scs, media-v200.scs, model1-v200.scs, model2-v200.scs)

Then, the instructions say I should copy the files in my ETS mods folder. I have no such folder that I can find.

I think it's worth mentioning that I have ETS on Steam and I do not own the Scandinavia DLC.

Thank you for your time and help.

Topic moved to Gameplay issues.

You must own DLC Scandinavia or ProMods 2.0 won't work. And, the mod folder appears when you make a profile ;)

First, where did you got 2.00? That ain't even release yet? And without Scandinavia it ain't never gonna work.
The mods folder should be in my documents.

Edit:
I just noticed it is released.. My bad :P

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.

OK guys, thanks. I will grab Scandinavia, Going East and High Power Cargo DLC's since they're on sale now anyhow. And I found that mod folder also. Hiding in My Documents.

All other DLC seems to be cosmetic changes but please let me know if I need any other DLC for this to work properly.

Guys, in order to generate a def file, would you call my PC average, high performance or extreme performance??

That is only the vegetation (tress, bushes etc. stuff) drawing distance (= how much you'll see vegetation around you), I would recommend to keep that in Average or on High ;)
