Hi Grimes, I have the doubt about if you’ll add the remaining companies someday, there are 16 (Deepgrove, Voltison Motors, Tidbit, Global Mills, Heartwood Furniture, Haddock Shipyard, Avalanche Steel, Page & Price Paper, Olthon Homes, Steeler, DeMuro Cars, Farmers Barn, Fish Tail Foods, Drake Car Dealer, Sea Horizon) that could be added. Wait for your answer, nice mod!

So you can activate v2.0 in Mod Manager and your on version 1.38 of ATS? Also just to make sure you’re on single player, not multi player. Copy your game.log and paste it at pastebin.com and I’ll take a look.

It’s done, I created an account on Pastebin and I glued the game.log How do you see it? It’s written this for your mod: 00:00:00.903: [mod] Mod package ‘Real Companies – Trailers Pack v2.0 (1.38)’ does not contain a manifest file ‘manifest.sii’, creating default information set.

Somehow you don’t have the correct file, open your ATS mod folder and find the mod, it should be called real_companies_v2_0.scs and is 21,274 KB in size, anything else is not correct so something has gone wrong when you are trying to download from sharemods, you could try sharemods again or use the e-junkie link which costs $1, when you paste your game.log at pastebin you need to copy the link so I can look at it.

I bought your mod and it wasn’t working yet. But I think I found the problem. Usually I always place the mods in a file to separate them from the ones I buy and I think you shouldn’t do that.

I hope this is relevant, but the problem of AI trucks not spawning when using the 1.38 version of ‘Real Companies’ goes, I don’t see that happening and maybe it is because I use Jazzycat AI Traffic, Truck Traffic and Painted Truck Traffic mods. I’m using the 1.38 Real Companies and Trailers Pack on the 1.39 update and I don’t see any reduction in AI truck numbers. Maybe the Real Companies mod only affects the default SCS AI Trucks, it’s hard to say.

This only applies to the standard Ai trucks from SCS. Guess it’s because the new Western Star was added to the Ai traffic by SCS.

Good morning. Great mod. Is there any plans to add companies like Fast Food places (Burger King, McDonalds, etc) and grocery store companies like Kroger, Winn Dixie, Piggly Wiggly, etc. I would love to see you expand the companies we can see in the game, just a thought
LikeLiked by 1 person
SCS cannot take the real names from the companies because SCS does not have the license for it.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes, and it’s because SCS makes money from the sale of the map DLC, and the game map in general, which is why they have to slap the fake names on the buildings. I just think that they could’ve used a bit of imagination instead of thinking of such stupid idiotic names like Sell Goods. They could’ve put a bit more thought into it, like they did with the fake winery Darchalle Uzau. That name fits so well with a winemaking company, although Grimes choice for the modded winery was perfect as E. & J. Gallo Winery, a very good brand IRL.
LikeLike
Jason, if you want McDonalds and Burger King in ATS, you might want to get the MHAPro Map for ATS. Ales Orlic, who creates the MHA map, got permission from ProMods to use those two companies in his ATS map mod. ProMods has created 3D models of those companies for their ETS2 mod.
LikeLike
Yes I am aware of MHAPro, but I didn’t realize companies like these are exclusive to MHAPro. Does that mean Grimes has permission or exclusivity from all of these companies in his mods to show their company logo and trademarks only?
LikeLiked by 1 person
As far as I know, most Real Company mods use existing SCS 3D models for the in-game companies like Sell Goods, Wallbert, Charged, Chemso, Gallon, etc and it is a matter of changing the logo to the real company logo. It would be different with companies like McDonalds and Burger King because SCS didn’t create those buildings to begin with and slapped a fake company name on the building. They would have to be created from scratch, which in the case of the two fast food companies that ProMods made, look just like the restaurants do in real life, something that SCS can’t do due to licensing restrictions. Modders don’t have that problem because they’re not making any money off of the company’s name/logo. Map Modders also don’t have to get those 3D models from an existing modder. A map modder could decide to create their own 3D model version of the restaurant building, and plop the building anywhere they want, nothing wrong with that, after all, ProMods did it in the first place. I believe ProMods did that 6 years ago. Map modders just seem to want to go the path of least resistance and get permission to use the work of another modder. In Alex’s case, he went the formal route and obtained permission from ProMods and you will note that he mentions ProMods in his Text Readme file that comes with the MHAPro Maps, both for ATS and ETS2.

To be honest, the SCS companies in ETS2 aren’t as ‘on the nose’ bad, as the ATS companies are. For example, ETS2 doesn’t have absolutely stupid and idiotic names for companies like “Sell Goods”. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m American and know American brands more than I know European and British company names. The SCS companies they put into the ATS game were done without the slightest bit of thought given to how they sounded. Your Real Companies and Trailers Pack made it possible for me to play ATS by changing the most important companies in the game, it is fantastic.
