The real FPS killers in ETS2 are AI traffic, rain and micro-vegetation — this mod re-engineers all three at the definition level, and makes the world feel MORE alive doing it. Most "performance mods" just delete traffic and leave you driving in a dead world. This one replaces the game's flat, always-heavy traffic density withreal 24-hour traffic curves— buttery FPS at night, believable congestion exactly when a real European motorway would have it. Rush-Hour Traffic Engine — 8-point hourly density curves Morning rush 6:30–9:00 and evening rush 16:30–19:00 — traffic builds up and dissolves like real life 3 AM feels like 3 AM — near-empty motorways, just you and long-haul truckers AI trucks keep realistic night presence (freight never sleeps) Big-city density rebalanced — the single worst FPS zone in the game, now smooth ETS2-exclusive tuning: border crossings, rapid-transit buses and depot traffic rebalanced too Under the hood — what actually changes Global AI vehicle cap: 50 → 35 (direct CPU relief, fewer background simulations) Spawn distance 600m → 500m, despawn 700m → 650m (AI stops eating frames beyond what you can see) Detail grass density scaled to 40% across 400+ vegetation definitions + draw distance 105m → 80m (GPU relief, visually near-identical at speed) Rain probability cut ~4x, thunderstorms rare — heavy weather is the #1 GPU spike in ETS2 Night city traffic heavily trimmed (vanilla ETS2 spawns almost rush-hour density at midnight!) Trees, buildings, road detail, shadows: 100% untouched — zero visual downgrade where it matters Clean & Safe Pure definition overrides — no physics, no economy, no save-game edits Compatible with truck, trailer, sound and map mods Convoy-friendly (flagged optional — friends don't need it to join you) ETS2 1. 60.x / 1. 61 Load order Low priority (near the bottom of the in-game list). Map mods with custom traffic keep their own rules. Best places to feel it Berlin, Paris or Duisburg at virtual 7–8 AM vs 2 AM. Same street, completely different world — and your frame counter will notice. BONUS : CONFIG FPS BOOST — free extra frames in 2 minutes The biggest hidden FPS leak in ETS2 is mirrors — each one re-renders the whole scene. These config tweaks cut that cost with almost no visual difference. Works perfectly alongside this mod: Close the game completely Open Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/config.cfg with Notepad Find each line below (Ctrl+F) and change its value: uset r_mirror_view_distance "120" (default 400 – mirrors stop rendering distant traffic) uset r_mirror_scale_x "1" (if yours says 2 – mirror resolution back to normal) uset r_mirror_scale_y "1" (if yours says 2) uset r_deferred_mirrors "1" (if yours says 2 – lighter mirror lighting) uset r_ssao "1" (if yours says 2 or 3 – ambient occlusion low, barely visible) uset g_reflection "2" (if yours says 3 – reflections one step down) Save the file and launch the game Important: don't change graphics presets in Options afterwards — the game will overwrite your tweaks Expected combined result (mod + config): +25–45% FPS in big cities depending on hardware and time of day. Your values may differ slightly — just set them to the numbers shown above. If this smoothed out your drive, a thumbs-up and favorite helps other truckers find it!
