Where Does ATS Store Mods?
ATS mods live in a mod folder in Documents as .scs files. Saves stay separate per the saves post.
Last updated
Save files hold trucking careers while mods change rigs and maps. Mods live as .scs archives in a mod folder inside Documents, mirroring the ETS2 convention exactly.
The existing saves post covers career files; this one covers the mod side. Enable sets in Mod Manager per profile. ETS2 mods never transfer since map data differs per game.

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\American Truck Simulator\mod
.scs archives with Mod Manager priority deciding load order. Workshop subscriptions mirror into this folder. Profiles sit beside it per the saves post.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install ATS mods?
Drop .scs files into the mod folder and enable them in Mod Manager before loading the profile. The manager lists load priority top to bottom with map mods needing data companions. Steam Workshop items mirror here after subscribing.
How do I back up a modded profile?
Copy the mod folder plus profiles from the saves post with the game quit. Mods travel as .scs archives while profiles reference them by name. Removing a truck mod sells its rigs automatically.
