🚛 SCS Mod Manager By Allan for ATS - this purpose-built Windows application transforms mod management for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, serving as a powerful, focused replacement for the default in-game manager. Designed specifically for serious modders with large catalogues, complex profiles, and deliberate load-order requirements, it brings local and Steam Workshop mods together in one clear, highly controlled workspace.
Features SCS Mod Manager By Allan:
– 🖥️ One manager for ETS2 & ATS — select a game, choose a profile, start organising
– 📚 Built for large collections — drag mods through long load orders with Slow, Normal, or Fast auto‑scroll
– 🔍 Search, filter & sort by title, filename, category, compatibility, source, author
– 🖼️ Full mod details — names, authors, versions, descriptions, artwork
– 🛡️ Profile safeguards — backups, external‑change rejection, rollback protection
– ↕️ Active Load Order control — drag‑and‑drop, group movement, Undo, Redo
– 🔄 Workshop recovery — reconciles installed items, preserves missing active references
– 📤 Export load orders — numbered TXT or spreadsheet‑ready CSV with metadata
– 🧭 Duplicate Finder — read‑only SHA‑256 detection of accidental Windows copies
– 🎨 Adjustable mod icons — Off, Small, Large, Extra Large (128px thumbnails)
– 🚀 Direct Steam launch for ETS2 or ATS, with warnings for unapplied edits
– 📂 Supports unpacked mod folders — retains directory paths, reads manifest artwork
– ⚙️ Advanced Steam connection controls — System, Direct, HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 proxy testing
