How to Install Mods on Your Euro Truck Simulator 2 Server

To upload mods to your Euro Truck Simulator 2 server, you first need to activate them locally. Here's how to activate, export, and upload the necessary files to run mods on your new ETS 2 server.

Locally Enabling and Exporting Mods for an ETS 2 Server

If you haven't already, you will need to enable the ETS 2 in-game console.

1. Open ETS 2 and under Mods select the mods you'd like to activate, then click Confirm Changes.
2. Load into a career game, and then open console with ~.
3. Type export_server_packages and press Enter.
4. Find the exported files by pressing Windows Key + R and entering this:

   %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2
   

5. Make a copy of server_packages.dat and server_packages.sii, then proceed to the steps below.

Uploading Mods to Your ETS 2 Server

Now that you've enabled and locally exported your server_packages.dat and server_packages.sii files, they just need to be uploaded to your ETS 2 server. Here's how it's done.

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your ETS 2 server.
2. Go to File Manager.
3. Inside of .local/share/Euro Truck Simulator 2, delete the existing server_packages.dat and server_packages.sii files.
4. Upload your exported server_packages.dat and server_packages.sii.

.local

    └── Euro-Truck-Simulator-2
        ├── server_packages.dat   ← Uploaded version
        ├── server_packages.sii   ← Uploaded version
        └── ...

5. Start your server.
