Hey, Grime. I love ur mods! best winter/lighting mods around! i just got 2 questions: can u plz move the bird sound in france? dont really fit in the winter mod 2: shall i place Heavy Winter Addon above or under the main mod?

edit: Place Frosty above Drive Safely’s Sound Fixes Pack to remove summer sounds like insect noises. i have done that as well, but it didnt removed the bird sound. TY in advance keep it up 🙂

Thanks Anders, I don’t really mind the bird noises coz they still chirp away even in WInter, it’s more the insect ones that bother me, there is a Frosty addon in the Sound Fixes pack, maybe that would remove them? The Heavy Winter mod goes above Frosty.

Yes Promods is compatible so it’s not that, it could be that there is a conflict with another mod, have you disabled other weather, lighting, HDR and graphics mods?

I have also done that..

The only other thing I can think of is make sure you’re updated to 1.30.2.2. After the game crashes open your game log file, at the bottom of the file it will show the errors, copy and paste them on here and I might be able to tell whats causing the issues.

Hello, I’m having the same issue, the game crashes mid loading, i’m on 1.30 too and it’s a fresh install, i don’t have any other mods. Help, i kinda don’t even wanna start playing without your mod, love it to death, worked perfectly on previous versions.

Just had a question. Love the winter mod by the way. The winter mod for ets2 will be the only mod I will be running. When I am done using it and I deactivate it, does it pose any potential threat to my saved game? Since I am not using any other mods, I’m hoping it won’t be an issue. Also, is there anything I need to do before deactivating the mod, to insure it’s a smooth process.

Thanks Aaron, no it won’t cause any issues with your save game when you disable it.

Hi Grimes & Belated HNY to you …

Hello
I like these mods but what I would like more for it to be realistic, it will be that the road is much more slippery for more realism.

Thanks Alain65, I didn’t want to make the roads too slippery as I think that would become annoying quite quickly, if you search the download websites there might be a winter physics mod that you can download.

Thank you for this mod, it is truly epic. I love the heavy winter add-on.
I do have one question though. Would it be possible for there to be more snow? A very heavy winter add-on perhaps? I would love more snow on the roads and more from the sky.
Either way, thank you for the work you have put into this mod. It is by far the most important mod I use, and it is by far the best mod that I use.
LikeLike
Thank you very much, glad you’re enjoying the mod. I have to cut back on the level of snowfall a little because if it’s too much it triggers thunder and lightning, which of course would be unrealistic. A very heavy winter addon is an interesting idea but it’s a matter of workload as I have many other mods to maintain and improve, who knows maybe I can do it next winter 🙂

Hi Grimes, hope you’re well 🙂
Is there any conflict with using Frosty in locations like Iceland (ProMods) which has ‘default’ snow on the ground in some places.
I haven’t tried it yet, but was curious to give it a shot before i switch to the Spring mod next month.
Many thanks in advance.

Could someone explain which mods need activating ? There are Autumn, Mild Winter, Frosty and Heavy Winter. So, should only one be used ? The Frosty/Winter/Heavy Winter is confuding me. Thanks.

Frosty can be used on its own or along with Heavy Winter which will put snow on the roads and a more wintery landscape. All the other season mods (spring, summer, early autumn, late autumn and mild winter) should all be used on their own.

Ah…. I see. So for Heavy Winter to work properly, Fosty must be activated with the Heavy Winter mod above it… ?

Download Frosty and then place it in your ETS2 mod folder, when you start ETS2 go to ‘Mod Manager’ and activate it, if you have other mods activated then make sure Frosty is on top.
Heavy Winter and Physics are optional addons to use alongside Frosty, if you want to use them then download them, place in your mod folder and activate them, but make sure to have them above Frosty in Mod Manager.
