Mod support

Hi, i was just wondering if you guys would ever consider implementing some of the more popular mods into multiplayer like the RJL Scania and other custom trucks and parts

Love the work you guys do!!

Probably not, because everybody needs to have that mod in order for it to display it to everyone around you. This will bring up problems like download size, etc.

So just to expand on this a bit, the size of TruckersMP to download is currently quite small and we would like to keep it that way to reduce load on the CDN (Content Delivery Network) as our developers have to pay for the traffic on that. Now, when a major update rolls out, it can cause significant load onto the CDN and with the additional mods, it could cripple us.

 

Additionally, there's also the need for keeping the mods up-to-date as SCS changes versions. As the version changes, mods can lose support and then the mod will update and we need to release it again. But as Rekoil_ said, everyone would need those mods, particularly if they are visual as if it goes to load a model that your game doesn't have, it would cause your game to crash unless our amazing devs can override it with something else. Now since the collision box of these mods can be different, it's just simply not possible, whereas with the official DLC can be done as the collision of the trailers can be replaced with another trailer and that would work but the trailers have to be the same size.

fair enough
