As they refuse to work (aka crashing).<br \/>\nSo yeah. All the effort and work I put into it is now useless. Ain&#8217;t that just great? So I filed in a report, gathering what info was required. I personally feel that the current version of ProMods isn&#8217;t compatible with the latest version of Euro Truck Simulator 2. Because without the mod, the game loaded (just dropped me back at my base). So clearly there is nothing wrong with my save files.<\/p>\n<p>Got a response about 10 minutes later. First one says that I&#8217;m right that everything checks out. The second, saw a flaw. And that &#8220;flaw&#8221; was human error, as in.. failure to read the &#8216;new requirements&#8217; for the mod.<br \/>\nIt now requires a nearly $20 DLC ($18.98 total) to run, called the Scandinavian DLC&#8230; at first I thought &#8220;Wow&#8230; you greedy bastards&#8221;, yet I also forgot what I had said about ProMods; how they&#8217;re not affiliated with SCS. As in, they aren&#8217;t exactly forcing you to get the DLC. It just.. OK, it is forcing. \ud83d\ude1b It&#8217;s forcing me to pay for something to play a free map mod that never required said DLC before.<br \/>\nSounds pathetic, doesn&#8217;t it? &#8220;Pathetic&#8221; as in my attitude. Ohh how that entitlement flows, and washes away thoughts of how hard the authors made all of the map work. But the thing is, <em>I<\/em> wouldn&#8217;t force the user to buy a DLC to play my map. I would understand if people couldn&#8217;t afford $20.<br \/>\nWhatever&#8230; it&#8217;s done and whoever has my money now. And indeed it definitely required the DLC, as I got no crash upon loading a save. Meh.. at least the reviews for the DLC were positive (which is why I got it).<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nEDIT: Just a &#8216;small&#8217; update. Got a 3rd response saying that there was a way that I could had avoided paying for the DLC, which was to get the 1.91 version. He says that &#8220;1.91 is like 1.95, but without requiring the Scandinavian DLC&#8221;. Good to hear and see there&#8217;s a &#8216;free&#8217; option.<br \/>\nHe also mentions that in the future version 2.0 of ProMods, that it will require this DLC, and the &#8216;Going East!&#8217; one(that I got a year ago). Thankfully I have both, so this won&#8217;t be an issue for me.<\/p>\n<p>I wish though, when I was setting up trying to get the mod, that it said on the website; &#8220;Requires Scandinavian DLC&#8221;, instead of myself thinking there was something critically wrong with my saves. I was thinking how I would have to go through all of that effort all over again to level up my driver (and have the same money I had before). Thankfully that wasn&#8217;t the case.<br \/>\nI would had been sick to my stomach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having not played for many months(almost a year), I think it did something to every single one of my saves.
