Woohoo, shout out for me! That genuinely made me ridiculously happy. Thank you. And you pronounced my surname correctly first time! Most people here in England don't manage that 👍 . Another tip. If you're driving your Volvo at night and you want more light, press F4 when driving and select adjust lights. Then tick the auxillary light boxes and the big spotlights on the roof and bullbars will come on. Looks cool and gives more light. Your ATS/ETS series are my favourite youtube series. Keep them coming 👏🙂
Sure thing, Sam! Figured I had a 50-50 chance on your last name and the way it came out sounded more natural than the other. I appreciated the tip on the beacons, great fun having them going on the ride. I'll try out those auxiliary lights next. I think I was thinking those lights were the beacon lights, tbh. I'll try to remember to give them a shot next video, thanks!
@@ZillaBlitz the auxillary lights give you more visibility at night and look cool! The other adjustments in the in-game F4 menu are really useful too. Have a play!
Basically, I couldn't watch this without having a big grin on my face heh heh heh! :) Zilla's enthusiasm is contagious haha! All I saw in this video was; SNOW IS FUN! And you know what? It looked lovely, there's something so fresh and bright about a winter wonderland.

I used this for first time last night damn roads get slick as hell everything is white kinda takes away the beautiful colors in the scenery but very challenging n fun. I suggest you get real good at driving first I have all the mods thanks much for sharing!
Thanks, Vince! Yes, the combination of snowfall and slippery roads (and night) can make things incredibly challenging, for sure. You've really got to anticipate far in advance what might happen. It just takes too long to stop otherwise. :)
It's a great mod, yes. Now we just need it updated to work with the new release of ETS2, which came out about 1 hour after I released this video. And promptly broke the mod. :)
Hi Mr. Zill Blitz. First time watching one of your videos and thanks for posting. I have a pet peeve and have a constructive suggestion for you. Get rid of the huge sun shade and the curtains. You are trying to show your viewers a weather/environment mod and you have cut off almost half of the view thru your windshield for you and your viewers, defeating part of the purpose of your video.
Hi DH Blan - That's a most excellent suggestion, thanks. Makes total sense, and really, would apply to anytime you're trying to show more of what's outside the truck. Thanks for stopping in and for taking the time to post that. I've made a note to do this when/if creating similar types of episodes. :)

Hey ZB and everyone, can anyone suggest mods or simply settings in the audio section of the game? I would say the sound im getting on my system is just okay. Some of the videos I watch seem to have much better sound than what I am experiencing. I am using a shifter and currently driving a kenworth with 18 speed. Do the different trucks have vastly different sounds! Thanks everyone!
That'd be a good thing for me to explore, but I haven't done so yet. I believe there are specific sound mods for specific trucks. And I know the newly released version 1.43 has updated some of the interior truck sounds, so it might take some time for sound mods to get updated too.
Thanks so much ZB. Very clear instructions. I have to ask though, is there a mod for tire chains? :) Seriously though, don't these mods stop you from getting achievements in the game? That's usually the case but not sure as I've never modded my Truck Sim 2 games.
Thanks, Uwe! Just hoping the mod gets updated soon so we can get snow and 1.43, the new version of the game that released today. And yes, snow chains mod: ets2.lt/en/search/Chains+for+Winter/?s=Chains%20for%20Winter
@@ZillaBlitz Yes, that's always the pain with the mods when a new version of the base game is released. That and sometimes they conflict with each other if you're using too many. I'll have to try this out on ETS 2. I installed Italy a little while ago and haven't tried it yet down there.
I haven't seen that, sorry, but I disabled the snow mods until they get updated to 1.43. I'd recommend posting that question on the developer's blog, at the bottom of the mod page.
Sure thing, Jorj! I don't have ProMods installed at the moment, but if I recall correctly previous versions of the snow mod did work with ProMods. You'd want ProMods lower in your load order than the Frosty ones.
Hey I would have a question and that is, can you drive with friends with this Frosty Winter Weather Mod in the normal ETS 2 convoy (no TruckersMP)? Of course with the prerequisite that my friends also own this mod and have activated it.
Hi Jxson - Gosh, I'm not sure. I haven't used the Convoy mode yet. I know with Truckers MP the mod has to go in a different folder. That might be a good question to ask on the Snow Mod maker's blog: grimesmods.wordpress.com/ I hope you can find the answer, sorry I'm not much help. :)
Interesting, it's mainly just the vanilla game, I don't think there is anything adjusting the lighting. But the snow textures definitely brighten everything up. Could that be it?
Yaa u can set ur brightness of in setting option....there it enhances ur game brightness...and also u can check for dashboard brightness in LIGHT option when u press F3 during driving the truck.
Do you know what have I do if Frosty Physics doesn't make any differences in driving other than longer braking distances? Earlier versions caused the truck's behavior to vary, even when accelerating.
Happy to help. Two things... - I appears that the snow mod does impact horizontal stability, so the slipperiness factor does work on both aspects. (I don't notice that in game, tbh, so the effect seems subtle.) - Regarding tweaking things, the mod developer posted this on his blog: Since 1.40 SCS made the roads much slippier during rain/snow, this means that during dry weather the physics mod will be the same as before but during wet weather it will be slippier than before even with a trailer attached. If you find it too slippy try messing around with the truck/trailer etc stability settings in the menu or change the bottom two attributes in the physics.sii file by opening the mod, with 1.0 being the default. Hope that helps!
I tend to like the "Late Autum/mild winter" because it seems to fit our later winters... Yet as I say that... We have like 4 or 5 inches of snow overnight :) Come On Frosty for 1.46 (Soon) I hope)
Yes, it usually takes him a couple of weeks to update, but I think that depends on what else is going on in his life. Given that it's late November, I'd think we'll see it updated in time for the Christmas event. :)
@@limitededition3295 Good to know, thanks! I did see that he's working on an update for 1.46 that he said will be ready "early December". That'll clean up some areas that apparently don't work correctly with 1.46.
I have tried to use it, but when I use this mod, it removes all buildings in my game! I have tried different profiles. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Happy to help! I can think of a few possibilities, with #1 being the most common cause... 1 - Are you using the latest version of the mod (1.46) and the game (1.46)? If they don't match, problems like you describe are pretty common. 2 - If you are using other mods, the load order of the mods could be an issue. 3 - It's possible, especially with #2 above, that other mods could be conflicting with the snow mod.
No, but you can see how much time you'll have to make the delivery when you pick it up, so you can avoid deliveries with a tight schedule. The external deliveries use real world time, and so you almost always have a ton of time to complete the delivery, but for the others, the deliveries use game time so looking at how much time you have is a good idea. :)
Older versions of the mod often don't work when there is an update, so I'd guess the mod 1.44 version won't work for ETS2 1.45. It usually take the author about 1-2 weeks to update it. :)
@@ZillaBlitz Latest version on Steam indeed. I thought i didnt have enough space on my OneDrive, but turns out that wasnt the case. If you find out anything, let me know. - A desperate trucker
Yes, about 1 hour after I released this video, SCS updated to 1.43. Worst timing ever. :) The developer of the mod is working on an update, probably a week or so away, and then everything should work again. Sorry for any confusion, I've pinned a comment to the top of the comments and will update it when the mod gets updated. I'm checking a couple of times a day. :)
Hmm. You've activated the mod and it activates correctly? To me is sounds like a version conflict of some sort. Are both your snow mod and your game the latest versions, so that you've got the right version of the snow mod for the right version of the game? And you added the ETS2 version of the snow mod, not the ATS version?
It worked but i have other issues: * the road gone missing but thank God i'm not falling into the void, haha * The maps (several) had the missing road too. How i fix this problem?
Sorry for the slow response but this feels like it could be an issue with the mod version not being the correct one for whatever version of ETS2 you are using. You've double checked those?
Hi PlurrePlayz - Glad you liked it, thanks! Keep in mind that the game got updated to version 1.43 so we are waiting for the snow mod to get updated before it will work with the new version. I hope you enjoy the game, it's a lot of fun!
Heya Stain - It's just the regular FH16 that's in the game, with metallic paint and everything you can add to it at Level 29. I've really liked the truck.
Yes, right after this video went up, SCS updated ETS2 to 1.43. The snow mod needs to be updated to work with the new version of ETS2. The developer is working on an update. It will take a couple of weeks. I've got a comment pinned to the top of the comments with updates. I'm checking daily to see when it gets updated.
Hi zilla how are you the snow looks good but I usally do the uk environment with no snow and one of my friend said there was a tornado warning something like that if the tornado do come to the uk it's my first time to see it
@@ZillaBlitz ye I don't know if it's true or not I've just heard it well let's find out thanks oh and 1 more thing there's gonna be a new trucks in the game a new man for ets2 and a new freightliner in ats
Hi michael - The developer hasn't put them in the Steam workshop because the files are too big. He said he tried at one point, but Steam just couldn't handle it.
Hard to say without seeing specifically your setup, but I'd check these things: - Do you have the right mod version (9.0) for your version of ETS2 (1.43) - Do you have other mods (weather, etc.) that might be conflicting. - Is your mod load order creating issues. Do you have the right mods in the right order.
Hi Tedi - Nope, it’s not your computer. The mod needs to be updated because they released the new update for ETS2. The mod should be updated in a few days and then it should work for you. You’ll need to download the new version of the mod when it comes out.
@@ZillaBlitz ohh thank u so much!! 😅 I thought my pc was a problem bcs ist really bad sometimes my ETS2 crashes😣 I really want to se how driving in snow❄️ is like in this game this is really something special❄️😂I just went drifting in snow with my friends had a realy good time haha😂❄️
Do you have the Heavy Winter mod added? I think the snow varies depending on what terrain you're in, also the Heavy Winter mod might create more snow when it snows?

Happy to help, Dylan. It's pretty much the same but the files go in a different folder. This post on the truckersmp forums explains what to do: truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/84
I'm guessing here, but that sounds like a mis-match between game version and mod version to me. But I'd recommend posting on Grimes' website, or checking there to see who else has had similar issues. I think I remember reading about that exact issue on his site at one point.
Happy to help. ~ Nope, it does not. The developer of the mod has posted on his blog page that he's working on a version to go with 1.43, but it will take another couple of weeks yet.
Happy to help. The mod needs to be updated for the new version of the game (1.43) that was just released last week. It will likely be updated this weekend. Check the top pinned comment for updates. :)
That's a good question. The site has older versions for 1.39 and earlier at the bottom of the Frosty mods page, but I don't see one that says it specifically works for 1.40. I think you'd have to post a question on the bottom of the Grimes Mod page about whether it works with 1.40 or not, or perhaps update to 1.41 and then it would work. If you're feeling adventurous, I'd try the latest one (v8.5), which works with 1.41. The big graphics/lighting update was 1.40, and so the latest version would be more likely to work with 1.40 than a version that works with 1.39.
Hi Arjun - Sorry for the slow reply, but yes, it works with ProMods once they've updated everything. There is a special installation however. (It goes in a different folder.) Here's more info: truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/84
That's a good question, as the mod page doesn't show any version that specifically supports 1.40.x. I think that'd be a question that has to be asked directly to the mod creator on his blog (linked in the description), but if you are feeling adventurous I'd try v8.5 as it works with 1.42 and 1.41, and 1.40 is closer to those versions than it is to version 1.39.
Do you mean for the rain precipitation for the snow mod? That kind of depends on how much snow you want. I ended up setting them about 1/4 of the way across and that seemed to provide a good bit of falling snow for the places I was in. :)
Seems to be working fine at the moment. Things to check... 1 - Load order of mods 2 - Correct mod version with correct ETS2 version 3 - Other mods/weather mods that might be conflicting
Happy to help. That’s caused by a mismatch between the mod version and the game version. You want to make sure they are the same. The current game version is 1.48.5, and you’ll want that version of the mod too. :)
@@ZillaBlitz I tried, but it did not work.. I’ve made an ticket on truckers MP website. Maybe that they know how to. Because in the launcher of trucksmp they have a buttom where you can download the winter mod 🙃
Hmm. Did you see the article I link below? Maybe that will help? Based on that, it looks like the mod has to go into a different folder for it to work with Truckers MP (the ATSMP or ETS2MP folder, and then in the "mod" folder inside that). truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/84
@@ZillaBlitz yes I need to check that I thought after reading that ^^ in the normal mod folder, but I have to put it in the mp > mod folder, haven’t had the time for that yet, I’ll let you know ;)
@@ZillaBlitz You've seen it when you watch car racing. Drifting is a driving style in which the driver uses throttle, brakes, clutch, gear shifting and steering input to keep the car in a condition of oversteer. ... It looks like the race cars are sort of sliding sideways as the race forward.
The new ETS2 update released right after this video went up. So if you are using ETS2 1.43, you'll need to wait for the snow mod to get updated. The developer has mentioned that it will take a couple of weeks.
@@vincentjohansson8771 Sure thing, happy to help! Fingers crossed it gets updated soon. I'm keeping the top comment pinned to this video with updates, and I'm checking every day. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for sharing, Losjo, and you bring up a good point. It's important to trust the developer of the mod. In this case, Grimes has been creating mods for ATS and ETS2 for years, so I feel comfortable in downloading his stuff. But that's a personal choice that you have to feel comfortable with, best of luck going forward!
Happy to help. That’s caused by a mismatch between the mod version and your game version. You want to make sure they are the same. Current game version is 1.49 and the snow mod hasn't been updated yet for this version. We need to wait until the mod author updates the mod.
The mod hasn’t been updated to the latest version of the game yet, so that’s what is causing the issue. We have to wait for the mod author to update it.
I'm sorry that you got a virus but it's not from this mod file. The developer has been creating mods for ATS and ETS2 for years and can be trusted. Thousands of people have downloaded and used his mods without issue.
Hi ThatOneSmiley - I haven't used TruckersMP yet so I've got no idea, sorry. That might be a good question for the TruckersMP forum or for the mod maker? Thanks for stopping in!
I doubt it works with other weather mods, you'd want to disable those. But I've had no issues with any conflicts with other stuff I'm running. YMMV. :)

If you find it too slippy try messing around with the truck/trailer etc stability settings in the menu or change the bottom two attributes in the physics.sii file by opening the mod, with 1.0 being the default.
Hope that helps!
I tend to like the "Late Autum/mild winter" because it seems to fit our later winters... Yet as I say that... We have like 4 or 5 inches of snow overnight :) Come On Frosty for 1.46 (Soon) I hope)
Yes, it usually takes him a couple of weeks to update, but I think that depends on what else is going on in his life. Given that it's late November, I'd think we'll see it updated in time for the Christmas event. :)
you can still use it i use it
@@limitededition3295 Good to know, thanks! I did see that he's working on an update for 1.46 that he said will be ready "early December". That'll clean up some areas that apparently don't work correctly with 1.46.
@@ZillaBlitz do you remember what was the corect order on frosty mod?
Offhand, I don't remember the exact specifics, but it's in the video, for sure. :)
I have tried to use it, but when I use this mod, it removes all buildings in my game! I have tried different profiles. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Happy to help! I can think of a few possibilities, with #1 being the most common cause...
1 - Are you using the latest version of the mod (1.46) and the game (1.46)? If they don't match, problems like you describe are pretty common.
2 - If you are using other mods, the load order of the mods could be an issue.
3 - It's possible, especially with #2 above, that other mods could be conflicting with the snow mod.
Do you get any longer to make your deliveries due to having to drive slower?
No, but you can see how much time you'll have to make the delivery when you pick it up, so you can avoid deliveries with a tight schedule. The external deliveries use real world time, and so you almost always have a ton of time to complete the delivery, but for the others, the deliveries use game time so looking at how much time you have is a good idea. :)
Thank you!
You're welcome, Mărieş!
I can see that the latest frosty winter mod was for 1.44 and now that 1.45 is out will it conflict with it or I can playing on 1.45 ?
Older versions of the mod often don't work when there is an update, so I'd guess the mod 1.44 version won't work for ETS2 1.45. It usually take the author about 1-2 weeks to update it. :)
iF i already buy full weather pack, and install all spring summer autume and winter, will it auto change the weather itself, thax a lot
Very cool, I didn't know that. I think GMT is adding a weather update next version though, but I don't think it will include snow.
Everytime I put anything in my mod folder, the mod just shows up as a red cross and says "error" and it doesn't work :( Any tips?
Hard to say, but it sounds like a version conflict possibly. You are running the latest version, on Steam?
@@ZillaBlitz Latest version on Steam indeed. I thought i didnt have enough space on my OneDrive, but turns out that wasnt the case. If you find out anything, let me know. - A desperate trucker
@@Tomas1to3 @_salga Mmmm. Does it work when you subscribe to a mod from the Steam workshop?
@@ZillaBlitz Yes
@@Tomas1to3 Are you unpacking the mods that you've downloaded? Because you don't unzip them or anything, just drop them into the mods folder.
And I was wondering why the mod isn't showing up in the manager. It doesn't work wih 1.43 XD
Yes, about 1 hour after I released this video, SCS updated to 1.43. Worst timing ever. :) The developer of the mod is working on an update, probably a week or so away, and then everything should work again. Sorry for any confusion, I've pinned a comment to the top of the comments and will update it when the mod gets updated. I'm checking a couple of times a day. :)
@@ZillaBlitz just now saw that it's updated today, 19th Dec.
Thanks, Guy! I've updated the top comment now and have downloaded and installed the new version for ETS2 1.43. :) Let it snow! :)
hi there, i just wanna know after i install the mod on and click continue mine just crash. why is that?
Hmm. You've activated the mod and it activates correctly? To me is sounds like a version conflict of some sort. Are both your snow mod and your game the latest versions, so that you've got the right version of the snow mod for the right version of the game? And you added the ETS2 version of the snow mod, not the ATS version?
does the frosty winter mod cover the wole map in ATS ?
Yes, it does. So snow in Arizona and New Mexico. :)
I finished grade 6 15 days ago and got 99% in a 120 ? math test my 1-1 math teacher olwin gave and made a new friend on the last day of school.
Congrats! That's great that you're doing so well. :)
i unpack scs file with winrar and get numerous files. So what to do?? copy them into mod folder or what
Happy to help! Don't unpack the scs file. Just drop the scs file into your mod folder as is. .scs is the format for ETS2 mod files. :)
@@ZillaBlitz Thank you
No, you don't need snow for Christmas... That's northern hemisphere chauvinism... ;) ;)
Haha! :)
It worked but i have other issues:
* the road gone missing but thank God i'm not falling into the void, haha
* The maps (several) had the missing road too.
How i fix this problem?
Sorry for the slow response but this feels like it could be an issue with the mod version not being the correct one for whatever version of ETS2 you are using. You've double checked those?
@@ZillaBlitz Yes Sir, i've solved those problems using the older version mod for my ETS 2 and it worked perfectly. Thnks for the advise
i dont have Euro Truck Simulator 2 yet but this expired me to buy and download it thank you!:)
Hi PlurrePlayz - Glad you liked it, thanks! Keep in mind that the game got updated to version 1.43 so we are waiting for the snow mod to get updated before it will work with the new version. I hope you enjoy the game, it's a lot of fun!
"expired"?
10-15 may ATS 1.50 realese
16th may nebraska realese
17-29th may i am going to europe IRL from india.
Have a great trip and thanks for the information! :)
What Volvo is that. Is it a mod and if so do you have a link to it.
Heya Stain - It's just the regular FH16 that's in the game, with metallic paint and everything you can add to it at Level 29. I've really liked the truck.
Waiting for winter
Another month! :)
thanks!
Sure thing, Wright! :)
When i activated this mod there was alot of empty spaces in the map:( like wholes in the ground
Yes, right after this video went up, SCS updated ETS2 to 1.43. The snow mod needs to be updated to work with the new version of ETS2. The developer is working on an update. It will take a couple of weeks. I've got a comment pinned to the top of the comments with updates. I'm checking daily to see when it gets updated.
@@ZillaBlitz 👍
youre amazing
Awww, thanks scudo!
Hi zilla how are you the snow looks good but I usally do the uk environment with no snow and one of my friend said there was a tornado warning something like that if the tornado do come to the uk it's my first time to see it
Things here are good, Ateeq. Tornadoes in the UK?! I didn't think that was a thing. Take care!
@@ZillaBlitz ye I don't know if it's true or not I've just heard it well let's find out thanks oh and 1 more thing there's gonna be a new trucks in the game a new man for ets2 and a new freightliner in ats
Good idea to stay away from those things. Just sayin'.
@@ZillaBlitz yes I'll do some digging if it's true then I'll tell you
@@ZillaBlitz I think my mind is just playing up
Wish you would actually show it as some of us aren’t exactly computer savvy , be easier to get them via steam workshop
Hi michael - The developer hasn't put them in the Steam workshop because the files are too big. He said he tried at one point, but Steam just couldn't handle it.
My game crash after I press Drive button? Any fix?
Hard to say without seeing specifically your setup, but I'd check these things:
- Do you have the right mod version (9.0) for your version of ETS2 (1.43)
- Do you have other mods (weather, etc.) that might be conflicting.
- Is your mod load order creating issues. Do you have the right mods in the right order.
the world is now showing up on my pc screen like the roads just disapper.. I have a bad pc😣🤔
Hi Tedi - Nope, it’s not your computer. The mod needs to be updated because they released the new update for ETS2. The mod should be updated in a few days and then it should work for you. You’ll need to download the new version of the mod when it comes out.
@@ZillaBlitz ohh thank u so much!! 😅 I thought my pc was a problem bcs ist really bad sometimes my ETS2 crashes😣 I really want to se how driving in snow❄️ is like in this game this is really something special❄️😂I just went drifting in snow with my friends had a realy good time haha😂❄️
Happy to help, it's one of my favorite mods, for sure. And perfect for the Holiday event. :)
how do you get abit thicker snow mine is just abit of snow on the ground
Do you have the Heavy Winter mod added? I think the snow varies depending on what terrain you're in, also the Heavy Winter mod might create more snow when it snows?
@@ZillaBlitz No I didnt ty

Hi i have question. Does it work on 1.43 version because for me it´s not working
Happy to help. Nope, it definitely doesn’t work with 1.43. The developer is working on an update but it might take a couple of weeks.
And Version 1.35.1.15?
It's up to 1.46 now, just released, so the mod probably has to be updated to the latest version now. :)
Are you still doing the us truck simulator
Yes, and I started a new channel for all the new simulator content. Here you go:

but how does it work for trucksersmp?
Happy to help, Dylan. It's pretty much the same but the files go in a different folder. This post on the truckersmp forums explains what to do:
truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/84
is it work with Scandinavia dlc?
Yes, it works with all DLC. But ETS2 just got updated to version 1.43, so the snow mod needs to be updated. The developer is working on it. :)
I just now installed the 9.4 version and ended up with pink boxes instead of snow
I'm guessing here, but that sounds like a mis-match between game version and mod version to me. But I'd recommend posting on Grimes' website, or checking there to see who else has had similar issues. I think I remember reading about that exact issue on his site at one point.
@@ZillaBlitz Cheers, mate. That was very helpful. Apparently my game version is 1.47 and the mod on the website is for 1.46
Yep, that'd be it. He usually updates the mod pretty quickly, but maybe not so much in the summer.
thanks
Sure thing! Happy Holidays!
Hello, does it work on 1.43? Thanks!
Happy to help. ~ Nope, it does not. The developer of the mod has posted on his blog page that he's working on a version to go with 1.43, but it will take another couple of weeks yet.
@@ZillaBlitz Ok, thanks!
Sure thing, Happy Holidays!
@@ZillaBlitz You too!
Hello! Winter mode doesn't work for me. What can I do for them?
Happy to help. The mod needs to be updated for the new version of the game (1.43) that was just released last week. It will likely be updated this weekend. Check the top pinned comment for updates. :)
@@ZillaBlitz ok, thank you!
Do you think this mod works on 1.40???
That's a good question. The site has older versions for 1.39 and earlier at the bottom of the Frosty mods page, but I don't see one that says it specifically works for 1.40. I think you'd have to post a question on the bottom of the Grimes Mod page about whether it works with 1.40 or not, or perhaps update to 1.41 and then it would work.
If you're feeling adventurous, I'd try the latest one (v8.5), which works with 1.41. The big graphics/lighting update was 1.40, and so the latest version would be more likely to work with 1.40 than a version that works with 1.39.
Nice truck
Thanks!
tysm
Sure thing, Esten, thanks for stopping in!
Does it work with Promods?
Hi Arjun - Sorry for the slow reply, but yes, it works with ProMods once they've updated everything. There is a special installation however. (It goes in a different folder.) Here's more info:
truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/84
It would suck to use that in multiplayer with all the other players sliding into you
Yes, but you can turn off player collisions in convoy mode. :)
does it work with 1.40.5?
That's a good question, as the mod page doesn't show any version that specifically supports 1.40.x. I think that'd be a question that has to be asked directly to the mod creator on his blog (linked in the description), but if you are feeling adventurous I'd try v8.5 as it works with 1.42 and 1.41, and 1.40 is closer to those versions than it is to version 1.39.
Frosty Wheels Addon Download is broken
Is it not working? I was looking at the wheels on my truck and noticed that they didn't look very different, for sure. Is the developer fixing it?
what about winter sounds??
Yep! Great idea. I created a separate video about them later. :)
whats the best settings?
Do you mean for the rain precipitation for the snow mod? That kind of depends on how much snow you want. I ended up setting them about 1/4 of the way across and that seemed to provide a good bit of falling snow for the places I was in. :)
can u drift with truck with that mod
Forwards, for sure. Sideways, I doubt it. This really isn't a drifting sort of game, but there might be a mod out there that does that. :)
am im the only one at who the mod isnt not working?
Seems to be working fine at the moment. Things to check...
1 - Load order of mods
2 - Correct mod version with correct ETS2 version
3 - Other mods/weather mods that might be conflicting
@@ZillaBlitz well, i check all of this things and it still dont working and dont even show in mod menu
okay i manage to fix it somehow
Nice! Grats!
It is not a virus like 2 days ago i getted a virus so im asking ?
Sorry you've got a virus on your computer, but no, you didn't get it through this.
Ok
Why do i have pink sky? With this mod...
Happy to help. That’s caused by a mismatch between the mod version and the game version. You want to make sure they are the same. The current game version is 1.48.5, and you’ll want that version of the mod too. :)
can you play this with multiplayer also?
Hi Albert, I'm not sure how it would work with multiplayer. That might be a good question for the mod developer, on his blog.
Anyone tried it?
@@ZillaBlitz I tried, but it did not work.. I’ve made an ticket on truckers MP website. Maybe that they know how to. Because in the launcher of trucksmp they have a buttom where you can download the winter mod 🙃
Hmm. Did you see the article I link below? Maybe that will help? Based on that, it looks like the mod has to go into a different folder for it to work with Truckers MP (the ATSMP or ETS2MP folder, and then in the "mod" folder inside that).
truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/84
@@ZillaBlitz yes I need to check that I thought after reading that ^^ in the normal mod folder, but I have to put it in the mp > mod folder, haven’t had the time for that yet, I’ll let you know ;)
I haven’t there had a map so I made on?

Si! :)
I see range rovers in ats
Is it for 1.43
Yep, it's been updated now. :)
why dude that's not active

You should come to India. It is a very nice country. Come to Bangalore first.

Can i drift with this mod?
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. Drift? :)
@@ZillaBlitz You've seen it when you watch car racing. Drifting is a driving style in which the driver uses throttle, brakes, clutch, gear shifting and steering input to keep the car in a condition of oversteer. ... It looks like the race cars are sort of sliding sideways as the race forward.
Its not working for me.
The new ETS2 update released right after this video went up. So if you are using ETS2 1.43, you'll need to wait for the snow mod to get updated. The developer has mentioned that it will take a couple of weeks.

@@ZillaBlitz Thank u !
I got a virus from share mods so no
Thanks for sharing, Losjo, and you bring up a good point. It's important to trust the developer of the mod. In this case, Grimes has been creating mods for ATS and ETS2 for years, so I feel comfortable in downloading his stuff. But that's a personal choice that you have to feel comfortable with, best of luck going forward!
