ETS2 Mod Support: Sound Mods Not Working

If your sound mods aren’t working in Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2), it could be due to mod conflicts, outdated mods, or game version incompatibilities. Below, we’ll walk you through the common reasons for sound mod issues and provide step-by-step instructions to fix them.

Common Causes of Sound Mods Not Working in ETS2

Game Version Mismatch: Some sound mods may not work if they are designed for a different version of ETS2.
Mod Conflicts: Other mods, especially those that modify sounds, may conflict with your sound mods.
Outdated Sound Mods: Sound mods that haven’t been updated for the current version of ETS2 may not work properly.
Incorrect Mod Load Order: If sound mods are not loaded in the correct order, they may not function as expected.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fix Sound Mods Not Working in ETS2

Step 1: Check Game Version Compatibility

Visit the mod’s download page to see which ETS2 version it supports.
If your game version is newer than the mod’s supported version, check if the mod has been updated.
Ensure your ETS2 game is updated to the latest version via Steam.

Step 2: Check for Mod Conflicts

Disable all other mods except for the sound mod in the Mod Manager.
Restart the game and check if the sound mod works alone.
Re-enable mods one by one to see which one is causing the conflict.
