Confusingly, Paris has four ring roads. In ascending order of length they are Périphérique, Super-Périphérique, the Francilienne and the Grand Contournement. Of these, only Périphérique and Super-Périphérique are complete.
The one you're talking about, A/D/N104/N184 (Francilienne) isn't complete. There's a big gap between the A10 and A15.
The A15 isn't represented in ProMods, It's (comparably) short and doesn't really go anywhere important the A13 doesn't already. Since the A15 isn't represented and it doesn't reach the A13, that section is omitted. The next best thing, the A86 (Super-Périphérique) is used instead for this section.
The A10 doesn't actually reach the A86 either (It piggybacks a bunch of other Autoroutes to reach the A6 and that connection definitely won't fit), so the N118 is included to make the connection.
Little of this is on the in-game map, but all the route changes are listed on the signs.
As for the other Ring Roads:
Périphérique is too small to be included. The roundabout near Tallinn would almost be larger.
Bits of the Grand Contournement, the A85 and parts of the A28 (Yes, the one near Tours) and A26 (Yes, the one North out of Reims) in particular, are already included.
