Proper Traffic Variety mod for American Truck Simulator.
ATS’s traffic variety is well and all, but could it be more accurate? This mod makes a minor change, but it certainly makes the game more accurate.
I’ve sifted through thousands of Craigslist ads for each vehicle’s year, make, model, and, when applicable, trim, counted every individual vehicle, and factored it into each vehicle’s spawn ratio. For vehicles belonging to a specific department or company, I’ve taken a sample for each state, and factored what vehicles are present in that sample into each vehicle’s spawn ratio.
Features include:
-Vastly decreased semi spawn, decreased police spawn, decreased bus spawn.
-Vehicles not sold in the United States no longer spawn, unrealistic fleet vehicles no longer spawn (some fire trucks, 2012 CHP Charger, etc.).
-Outdated fleet vehicles no longer spawn (MCI MC-12, NHP Crown Victoria, etc.).
-As previously stated, every spawn ratio is grounded in empirical data, at least somewhat accurately portraying the car culture of each state. For example, California has a greater preponderance of electric vehicles, while other states have an increased number of pickups.
Feel free to edit, redistribute, claim it as your own, I really don’t care, no credit to me required.
Please let me know of any bugs, suggestions, criticism, constructive, or otherwise. You’re likely to get a faster response through Discord (you can join through this code: Bc4VMxaCNe), but once received, all contacts will be treated equally.
