Hey folks,

I was wondering if I could simply turn the mod of for my savegame and update to the latest beta, but if the compatible ProMods-version will come out, I plan to switch back.
I used the search function here in the forum and on the web, too, but I couldn't find an answer.

Here are the steps I want to take (please note: I have only garages in citys that ETS2 has by default):
  • Deactivate the mod
  • Update to beta of 1.31
  • Use existing safegame without loosing progress
  • Download newer ProMods version if available for 1.31
  • Activate it and continue playing with the same safegame
Before I make a back-up for testing purposes, I want to ask you, if this is possible. If not, I could safe a lot of time and effort :)

Happy truckin'

If you are wanting to play with the latest beta from SCS Software, it is recommended to have a separate profile for such testing.
That way, you don't damage your existing saves/profiles.

For the record, there will never be a ProMods update that works with the SCS open betas.
ProMods waits until SCS posts a stable release before providing a map that works for that version.
For example, the current 1.31 beta will not have a compatible ProMods version for it.
Once 1.31 is out, then ProMods will release a map that works with it.

So, you think it will damage the profile for sure?

So, how can promods than be updated to a newer version? I know, the mod does not only consist of models, but of its own game dynamics, but if ProMods itself is updated, they have other content, too.

You download the latest files and replace the old files in the mod folder through the new ones.

I have 2 different prifiles! One for ProMods+Rusmap and another Vanilla!
I upgraded to 1.31 and played the vanilla profile but since the ProMods one won't work on 1.31 (which is nothing special anyway) i downgraded back to 1.30. Now ProMods profile works but not the vanilla since the saves made on 1.31 are incompitable to work on 1.30. So i cannot play the vanilla profile anymore! :( I can upgrade again and the vanilla profile will work but then ProMods one will stop! :(

Just use a backup or wait for stable 1.31.

Also, why do you want to use your vanilla profile on 1.30 if you have a ProMods profile for this version, that you can enjoy?

I used to play them both every day. A totally vanilla profile compared to ProMods+Rusmap+Jazzycat is like a different game!
But yes i will wait for stable 1.31 now and i will play only on ProMods.
