\"Realistic<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

Tired of powerful engines and capable gearboxes feeling unnecessary with most vanilla loads?
\nRealistic Cargo Weight 1.5x increases the original cargo mass values by 50% while preserving the balance between light and heavy cargo. It does NOT set every load to the same weight: a light cargo remains relatively light, while an already-heavy cargo becomes a more demanding hauling challenge.
\nWorld of Trucks Compatibility
\nDesigned for World of Trucks contracts in both configurations:<\/p>

External Contracts – without your own trailerExternal Market – with your own trailer
\n100-tonne limit: Non-Special Transport loads are limited to a maximum of 100,000 kg for World of Trucks compatibility. In my ETS2 External Contracts test with the 2x version, the log stacker was accepted at 100,000 kg and rejected at 100,001 kg. The 1.5x version follows the same limit, but still needs its own in-game test. Loads below the cap retain their original mass multiplied by 1.5. Special Transport loads retain the full 1.5x weight, even above 100 tonnes, because they are not World of Trucks contracts. The same definitions also apply to offline jobs. Loads made up of whole units may finish below the cap.
\nFeatures<\/p>

1.5x original cargo mass values, with the 100-tonne exception described abovePreserves the original difference between light and heavy cargoOriginal cargo volume is not changedBase-game cargo and trailer definitions coveredCargo DLC definitions covered: High Power Cargo Pack, Heavy Cargo Pack, Special Transport, Farm Machinery, Forest Machinery, Bobcat, JCB Equipment, Krone Agriculture and Volvo Construction EquipmentTrailer DLC definitions covered: Feldbinder, Kässbohrer, Kögel, Krone, Schmitz Cargobull, Schwarzmüller, TIRSAN and WieltonMakes engine power, gearing and transmission choice meaningful on heavy jobsExtremely heavy Special Transport loads retain the full heavy-haul challenge
\nCompatibility
\nBuilt for Euro Truck Simulator 2 1.60.x and 1.61.x.
\nMods that alter the same cargo mass or trailer definition files can override these values. If needed, place Realistic Cargo Weight 1.5x above other cargo-weight mods in the Mod Manager load order. Activate only one Realistic Cargo Weight multiplier at a time.
\nThis mod changes cargo weight-related definitions. It does not intentionally rebalance prices, XP or the economy.
\nConvoy
\nOptional Convoy support is included. Thanks to @Palegrin for testing and confirming this support in the 2x version! 😄 The 1.5x version still needs its own Convoy test.
