Where Are Euro Truck Simulator 2 Profiles Located?
Euro Truck Simulator 2 profiles folder on Windows, macOS and Linux, and how to move a truck fleet without breaking mods.
Last updated
Euro Truck Simulator 2 keeps profiles in a Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/profiles tree, one hex named folder per profile with save subfolders inside. Screenshots, mods and config.cfg sit beside profiles in the same parent.
Steam Cloud syncs profiles by default. Pause it during hand moves or the cloud copy overwrites your restore. Match the game version and mod list on the target machine, since mismatched mods refuse the profile or strip missing parts silently. The config.cfg beside profiles holds graphics and controller choices.
Where Euro Truck Simulator 2 stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles
Each hex folder is one profile with save/auto subfolders. Copy the whole Euro Truck Simulator 2 folder with the game closed to move trucks plus settings.
~/Library/Application Support/Euro Truck Simulator 2/profiles
Use Go > Go to Folder in Finder. The layout mirrors Windows exactly, so profile folders transfer directly between the two systems.
~/.local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2/profiles
Native Linux builds use this XDG path. Mods live in a mod sibling folder. Keep both together when migrating a modded fleet.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my ETS2 company?
Close the game and copy the profiles folder plus config.cfg elsewhere with a date in the name. Restoring means dropping the same tree back with Cloud paused, then launching once.
Why does my profile say mods are missing?
The save references Steam Workshop items that are not installed on the new machine. Subscribe to the same mods first, let them download, then load the profile again.
