Balkans Development
That's supposed to be a consolation of some sort, when smaller Bosnia has not four, not five, not six, but seven cities (one of which isn't even a city, but an actual village of 2700 people, Karakaj)...or smaller Croatia which has 5? Slovenia is four times smaller than Serbia and it has the same amount of cities, which is downright humiliating, so with that in mind, does anyone care if there is x instead of y companies in some country, when the country itself is 4 times less dense in cities than other countries in the same dlc? Some balancing makes sense in order to make smaller countries more prominent, but this is not that.
Compared to older DLC's, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, all of them are more dense, Serbia is maybe on the level of density of countries in the Going east dlc, which was released in 2013 or 10 years ago.
It's also not just about the cities, the whole area between Hungary and Novi Sad is a dumpster fire compared to what Promods made (and which I hope we get back instead of SCS's horrible version of the route).
There are curvy highways that bend in the way that even highways in hilly south Serbia don't bend, the second largest city in the north after Novi Sad, Subotica (100k people), was thrown out in favour of a random company along the highway and the terrain itself is much hillier than the agricultural flat plains in the real world, it instead looks like something you'd see in the hilly vineyard areas south of Belgrade.
Promods on the other hand did the route perfectly, it also had the border crossing, yet it had city of Subotica, which was relatively large and featured the industrial zone, PM had a straight highway (instead of the weird bending highway), there was space for a rest stop, for a toll (which aren't present in the dlc or at least I haven't seen them) and the terrain was a flat agricultural plain as you would expect it to be...and all of it fit perfectly, along with Szeged above and the border crossing.
The E-75 in the south near Leskovac is just a generic stretch of road, while in Promods that area has both the new highway and the old scenic route.

It will *NOT* show the new DLC but it will work if you have it in your Steam Library.
You can basically own the DLC or not, ProMods will still work. It will show ProMods Balkans and not the DLC area.

I hope it will remain as it is now, except to add areas not developed by Promods. Maybe not 100%, but at least 80%.

So as i understand it, even if i purchase the new West Balkans DLC, it will entirely fail to show up in-game if i am running ProMods? And if this is indeed the case, are ProMods at all planning on integrating their mod with the new DLC, so that the DLC will then work and appear in conjunction with ProMods in future ProMods updates?
