Download the Game Archive Extractor (scs exctractor)<\/p><p>2. Open the zip file it downloads in, and extract the contents to your desktop<\/p><p>3. Create a new folder, mine was called &ldquo;ETS2 Plate&rdquo; and move the scs_extractor to it<\/p><p>4. Go to &ldquo;Computer&rdquo;<\/p><p>5. Choose the drive that your copy of ETS2 is installed on<\/p><p>6. Choose &ldquo;Program Files (x86)&rdquo; or if you are using an x86 (32Bit) version of windows it will just be &ldquo;Program Files&rdquo;<\/p><p>7. Go to &ldquo;Euro Truck Simulator 2&rdquo; folder and copy the &ldquo;def.scs&rdquo; file to the folder you created earlier<\/p><p>8. Open up the folder containing the &ldquo;def.scs&rdquo; &amp; &ldquo;scs_extractor&rdquo;<\/p><p>9. Drag the &ldquo;def.scs&rdquo; on to &ldquo;scs_extractor&rdquo; to begin extracting the files from the def file to your folder<\/p><p>10. Wait until it finishes<\/p><p>11. Open the folder named &ldquo;def&rdquo;, the choose &ldquo;city&rdquo;<\/p><p>12. Here you will choose the city that YOU are based from in game, for me, it was dover<\/p><p>13. Copy the .SII file that matches the city YOU are based from to the main section of the folder<\/p><p>14. Move all the files from the extracted &ldquo;def.scs&rdquo; to another folder, just to keep them out the way but leave behind the .SII file. DO NOT call the new folder def, as this name will be used again later.<\/p><p>15. Open the .SII file with notepad<\/p><p>16. Here you will see the document that you saw in the video. One of the lines in the notepad document says &ldquo;truck_lp_template[]: &ldquo;G02 111&Prime;&rdquo; or something very similar, this is the order that the plate will go in.<br>\ntruck_lp_def0[]:&rdquo;any letter&rdquo; corresponds to the 0 in the template<br>\ntruck_lp_def1[]:&rdquo;any letter&rdquo; corresponds to the 1 in the template<br>\ntruck_lp_def2[]:&rdquo;62&Prime; corresponds to the 2 in the template &mdash; if you simply want your plate to have a 13 instead of a 62, you just replace the 62 with a 13<br>\nIf the truck_lp_template[] is G02 111, it will make the numberplate something like this GD62 ABC<br>\nYou can replace the letters at the end of truck_lp_def0[]: &ldquo;any letter&rdquo; &amp; of truck_lp_def1[]: &ldquo;any letter&rdquo; to make it more likely for that letter to come up. You can also delete these lines, if you have a very small set of characters that you want it to use, for example if you wanted the last 3 letters of the registration plate to be &ldquo;ABC&rdquo; you could leave three of the truck_lp_def1[]:&rdquo;any letter&rdquo; and have it as<br>\ntruck_lp_def1[]:&rdquo;A&rdquo;<br>\ntruck_lp_def1[]:&rdquo;B&rdquo;<br>\ntruck_lp_def1[]:&rdquo;C&rdquo;<br>\nwhich will guarantee that you have a, b &amp; c at the end of your plate.<br>\nYou can do this also for the truck_lp_def0[]:&rdquo;any letter&rdquo;<br>\nIf you wish to have a different letter at the start of your plate then replace the letter in &ldquo;truck_lp_template[]: &ldquo;LETTER02 111&Prime;&rdquo; with letter of your choice. For dover it is &ldquo;truck_lp_template[]: &ldquo;G02 111&Prime;&rdquo;, but I changed it to &ldquo;truck_lp_template[]: &ldquo;M02 111&Prime;&rdquo; so that I could have an M at the start of my plate. <\/p><p>17. Save the notepad file and close it<\/p><p>18. Create a new folder called &ldquo;def&rdquo; and inside that folder &ldquo;city&rdquo;<\/p><p>19. Cut and paste the .SII file you just modified into the city folder.<\/p><p>20. Now download the empty .scs file from HERE: http:\/\/www.4shared.com\/file\/DAC7NW1v\/EMPTY_SCS_1.html &ndash; If you know how to make a .scs file, you do not need to do this step. (note: in the video it shows the download on mediafire, I have had to change the download to 4shared because mediafire was causing problems for me)<\/p><p>21. Move the empty .scs file to the folder that you have been working in.<\/p><p>22. Open the .scs file (you will need 7zip or winrar to do this, I used 7zip)<\/p><p>23. Drag the folder called &ldquo;def&rdquo; into either 7zip or winrar<\/p><p>24. Close the .scs file and rename it to something that will remind you of what the mod is<\/p><p>25. Copy the .scs file to your ETS2 mod folder (On windows 7 this is located at: C:\\Users\\YOUR USER NAME\\Documents\\Euro Truck Simulator 2\\mod<\/p><p>26. Enable the mod in game by clicking edit and then ticking the box to the left hand side of the mod. <\/p><p>27. Load your profile<\/p><p>28. Relocate your truck to a different garage and then choose &ldquo;Drive it&rdquo;. Repeat this<br>\nprocess until you get the desired registration plate. <\/p><p>In my case, I had to repeat step 28 4 times in order to get my desired plate<\/p><p>I am not sure if you can do this with non UK registration plates. <\/p><p>If you are struggling to get this to work, and would like some help, leave a comment on this video, and I will get back to you as soon as possible! &#128578;<br>\nIf after talking to me and trying to get help, you are still unable to get your registration plate working, I will happily do it for you! &#128578;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: MaxLowe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ets-tutorials"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8896\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ets2.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
