This tutorial covers only the free installation method.
Click on the images to see at full resolution if necessary.
You will need 7-zip in order to extract the mod files!
Additional notes:
ProMods 2.10 requires the Scandinavia DLC, the Going East DLC and Euro Truck Simulator 2 1.24 in order to work!
The browser used in in this tutorial is Google Chrome.
This tutorial has been made using Windows 10 64-bit.
I have no guarantees it will work the same way on other systems, but it generally should.
If your game crashes after installing try re-downloading the files!
If you have problems downloading the files try a different browser! (Some people say that Internet Explorer might have issues while downloading.)
If you have problems installing post your issue here!
If you are using MAC then you might want to check out the guide made by penguinaz available here!

Step #1
Click the Download button on the Board Index page.
Step #2
Select the installation language.
Click OK.
Step #3
Click the link to generate your def file. It should open in a new window or tab. Remember to keep the other window / tab open too!
Step #4
Now set the Cabin interior sound level, Damage level, Vegetation drawing distance and Colour settings.
OPTIONAL: Select "Check this box if you are using Rusmap" only if you are using Rusmap! By enabling this option the world map should look correct when ProMods is used together with Rusmap.
Click the Generate button and download your def file. Place it somewhere where you can find it with ease.
After you have downloaded your def file you can close the Download definitions window / tab.
Step #5
On the Installation window / tab, click Go to step 2.
Step #6
Download all seven files into the same folder where the def file is located. Please note that from our new server you can only download 3 files at the same time.
When you click one of the download links you'll be directed to Adf.ly. In the upper right corner there should be a 5 second countdown and once that is complete the SKIP AD button should appear. Once the button appears click it in order to proceed.
Once you are through Adf.ly you should end up on ZippyShare. This is the page where the actual download button is. Click on the DOWNLOAD NOW button.
Repeat this for all the files!
Once you have downloaded all 7 parts download the FILE TEST file.
Once you have downloaded all the files the result should look like this:
Step #7
Select promods-v210-test.rar
Right-click on the file and select Open with > 7-Zip File Manager.
Once you have opened the file with 7-Zip click on the Extract button.
Click OK in order to start the extraction process.
Once the extraction process is complete you may close the window.
Double-click on the TestFiles application (.exe).
Once the TestFiles.exe has done its thing you should see a screen like this:
Make sure the application shows the exact same message as below in order to make sure the files you've downloaded are intact. If this is not the case the files are corrupt and you should remove them and then download them again!
Code: Select all
SUMMARY:
EVERY FILE APPEARS TO BE OK (no errors).
8 files passed checksum validation.

Step #8
Open promods-v210.7z with 7-Zip (this file may also show up as promods-v210.001).
Once you have opened the file with 7-Zip click on the Extract button.
Click OK in order to start the extraction process. This may take some time depending on your system.
Once the extraction process is complete you may close the window.
Step #9
Now select promods-assets-v210.scs, promods-def-v210.scs, promods-map-v210.scs, promods-media-v210.scs, promods-model1-v210.scs and promods-model2-v210.scs with Rectangle Select or CTRL + Left Click.
Right Click one of the selected files and choose Cut or Copy.
Open your mod folder (usually located at C:\Users\User\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\mod). Right Click in it and choose Paste.
Now your mod folder should look like this (it might have more mods in it though):
Step #10
Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2. Then in the Profile Selection select the profile you wish to have ProMods in and click the Mod Manager button.
Select one of the ProMods Packages by clicking on it.
Then click the arrow button in order to enable the mod package.
Repeat this until you have all the six files listed in the Active Mods list like in the image below. It is advised to have the definitions package at the top of all ProMods files.
And finally click the Confirm Changes button.
Congratulations!
You have now installed ProMods. If you like ProMods you can support the development by donating!
2. Updating ProMods
Updating ProMods is pretty simple. Start by repeating steps #1 to #8 of the Installing ProMods section. After you have done that, launch Euro Truck Simulator 2. Then in the Profile Selection select the profile you have ProMods enabled in and click the Mod Manager button. Then click on one of the old ProMods files in the Active Mods list in order to select it. Like in the image below:
Then click the arrow button in order to disable the old mod package.
Then select another old ProMods file in the Active Mods list.
Then click the arrow button again in order to disable the old mod package.
Repeat this for all the old files!
After you have disabled the old files, enable the new files you have downloaded just like in step #9 of the Installing ProMods section.
And finally click the Confirm Changes button.
You can now remove the old files from your mod folder as only the new files are needed.
