I. The Necessity of Perfection: Why D.B Creation Revolutionises the ETS2 Experience

The Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) offers a fantastic foundation, but for simulation enthusiasts it often lacks technical depth and dynamic realism. This is where our D.B Creation Mods come in. We have carefully developed our modifications to transform the entire player experience – from the intelligence of the AI traffic, through the realism of vehicle physics, right through to the visual atmosphere.

What makes our mods special is their high compatibility. They are designed to seamlessly work together with the largest and most popular map expansions in the community, including ProMods, RusMap, and Grand Utopia. However, to ensure full stability and performance, two things must be strictly observed: a one-time configuration of the game and adherence to a precise mod load hierarchy

II. The Core of Realism: The D.B Traffic AI Mod and the Golden Rule

The most important building block for the dynamic ETS2 experience is our D.B's Traffic AI Mod. This mod is not only responsible for a more realistic traffic intensity, but also controls the entire behaviour of the AI traffic in Europe and on all extended maps.

The mod includes features such as:

• Realistic Rush Hour: Defines peak times (typically 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.) for authentic commuter traffic.

  
  

• Improved AI Behaviour: Revised parameters for overtaking manoeuvres, accident recovery and behaviour at roundabouts, motorway slip roads and junctions.

  
  

• Physical Precision: One crucial detail is the correction of the swivel radius (Improved trailer swiveling) of long AI trailers in curves, which effectively prevents collisions, particularly on the narrow roads of many mod maps.

  
  

Attention: Only one Traffic Intensity Mod!

It is essential that you use only one Traffic Intensity Mod at any one time. Activating several mods of this category inevitably leads to conflicts, errors in the AI behaviour or game crashes.

Our Traffic AI Mod runs in a single version. It suits profiles with the SCS standard map just as well as profiles with large map mods such as ProMods, RPM, RusMap or others – there is nothing to select and nothing to adjust. You simply have to choose the one that suits your profile:

Separate versions (“SCS Map” and “Custom”) no longer exist. Install one Traffic-Intensity-Mod and let it stand above all other mods.

III. The Technical Foundation: Critical Settings in the config.cfg

In order to process the increased traffic density and the more complex AI logic reliably, manual adjustments to the ETS2 configuration file are required. Without these adjustments there is an increased risk of crashes and problems, especially if you use large maps or additional traffic packs.

Here is how to make the adjustments:

1. Navigate to the Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2 directory.

2. Open the file config.cfg with a text editor (e.g. Notepad or Notepad++).

3. Find the following two lines and change their values to the recommendation from D.B Creation:

Parameter	Recommended Value	Function
uset g_traffic	"1.0"	Ensures that the AI traffic rules are applied correctly.
uset r_buffer_page_size	"25.0" (or higher, e.g. "30.0" or "50.0")	Increases the buffer for data processing in order to prevent crashes with a high mod density.

4. Save the config.cfg and start the game.

IV. The Expert Load Order Guide: Prioritisation in the Mod Manager

The load order determines which mod rules override other rules. D.B Creation Mods must always have a higher priority (further up the list in the Mod Manager) than the map mods. This ensures that our AI and physics improvements take effect across the entire map (e.g. ProMods) and are not overridden by the base definitions of the map.

The following list presents the recommended priority hierarchy, with the highest priority first:

Table Title: Expert Load Order of the D.B Creation Mods (Top to Bottom)

Priority	Module	Mod Category	Placement Note
1 (Highest)	D.B's Traffic AI Mod	AI traffic logic	Most important mod. Must be placed above all other mods. (Use only one Traffic Intensity Mod!)
2	D.B's Vehicle Definitions	AI vehicle definitions	Global settings for AI vehicles.
3	D.B's Real Physics	Driving physics	Adjustment of suspension, brakes and driving behaviour.
4	D.B's Real Weather	Environment & Weather	Realistic weather effects.
5	D.B's Xenon Lights	Lighting	More realistic light cones and headlights.
6	D.B's Environment Mod	Visual environment	Texture, sign and detail improvements.
7	Additional D.B Mods	(Garages, Tuning, Paintjobs)	All further D.B Mods follow here.
8	D.B's Traffic Trailer Packs	Trailer variety	Must be placed above the map mods, but below the AI mods.
9	MAP MOD FILES	(e.g. ProMods, RPM, RusMap)	The entire map architecture (Def, Map, Models, Assets) follows here.
10	Other Traffic Packs	(e.g. Jazzycat)	Are loaded at the end so as not to override the D.B logic.

Important: Make sure that all your map mods – whether ProMods, RPM or others – are placed below the entire D.B Creation mod chain, so that the dynamic behaviour of our mods is applied to the entire extended world.

V. Conclusion: The Promise of Stability and Immersion

The installation of the D.B Creation Mods is the decisive step towards unlocking the full potential of your ETS2 simulation. Our mods improve the core gameplay by making the driving feel and the interaction with the AI traffic fundamentally more realistic.

By strictly following the Golden Rule (only one Intensity Mod!), the config.cfg settings and the definitive load order, you get not only a much more vivid, but also a technically more stable game, even if you use extreme mod combinations such as ProMods and our traffic systems. We guarantee that our modifications are the perfect addition to your next Euro trucking trip.
