ETS2 Mods

Realistic Rain Mod ETS2 By Darkcaptain - this mod try to improve the effect of rain, sounds of rain & thunders, effects on the windshield, particles/sprites of rain on the wheels... This mod will not add puddles on the road. This mod does not modify the duration or probability of rain (game options you have for it). This mod does not modify the fog, weather or Sky textures. You will find rains of different intensities that are controlled by the game (not by the Mod). This mod improves the visual quality of rain by adding more detailed raindrops, splashes, and overall weather effects. It also adjusts the intensity and frequency of rain, making it feel more natural and varied. In addition to enhancing the rain visuals, the Realistic Rain Mod also includes improved windshield effects, such as realistic water droplets and improved wiper animations. These enhancements contribute to a more realistic and immersive driving experience, especially during rainy weather conditions.
