Got a rather interesting email today, asking if I ever had considered making a post comparing ProMods to TSM. My initial reaction was “Not really”. So I decided to do it.<\/p>\n
ProMods -VS- TSM…
\nNow at first glance, both of these mod pack ‘giants’ are good in their own way. One does it better than the other, and one does it worse than the other. Having played both, this is what I feel are good (and bad) points to both of these.<\/p>\n
ProMods;
\n-Is updated more frequently than TSM.
\n-Has more realistic cities than TSM.
\n-Covers quite a lot of land, yet lacking in some areas it really needs it.
\n-Is fully compatible with a few other map mods, unlike TSM which is compatible with nothing but itself.
\n-Uses an English-speaking forum, unlike TSM’s German-speaking forum.<\/p>\n
TSM (TruckSimMap)
\n-Covers areas ProMods isn’t (such as Egypt, Africa, Greece, and Spain).
\n-Doesn’t require you to only specifically download from its website, or warn of prison time if it’s shared on other sites.
\n-Doesn’t require any of the paid DLCs (however, this is likely to change in the future).<\/p>\n
.
\nAnd my final verdict…? ProMods is better, as there’s more work put into it. It even has fucking Iceland now! TSM has a lot of areas that haven’t been updated since … what was it, the 1.14 update when I turned to ProMods? I think so. There’s even a pretty long (yet quite curvy) stretch of road in Libya, where you can go an insane 124 MPH (cars only, though). Who the fuck needs the Autobahn with that speed?!<\/p>\n
If ProMods and TSM were to come together (without fists swinging) as one map, I’m sure ETS2 would be even more awesome to drive around in. To have those two, plus Poland Rebuilding… it would be beautiful.
\nBut I really never see that day ever coming. I don’t know why there’s just so much… hate over the two. If they would just join forces, with TSM learning from ProMods and actually doing some good work, it would be great.<\/p>\n
If you guys know, email me. Do keep them coming, by the way! This was fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
