Using the suite
The app opens in Mod Manager. The top tabs also take you to Home, Game Version Switcher and Profile Cloner. Gold marks the active tool.
Each workspace keeps its place. Apply or undo unsaved Mod Manager edits before opening the Switcher or Cloner. You can still view Home, but changing tools waits while an operation or tracked game session is running.
Profile Cloner and new Switcher setups start with the folders selected in Mod Manager for the same game. Check them before continuing. Existing Switcher setups and unfinished work are not replaced when those defaults change.
Use Suite guide for an overview. For copying a game setup, follow the Game Switcher steps. For a new local profile, follow the Profile Cloner steps. Mod Manager keyboard shortcuts work only on its own tab.
Your first change
Close the game and choose your profile
Select ETS2 or ATS, choose Manage Profiles, then pick the Local or Steam Cloud profile you want to change.
Find the mod
Search in Available Mods, select the mod and choose Make active. It moves into the green Active Load Order panel.
Put it in the right place
Drag the mod up or down. The top has the highest priority. Follow the mod author’s instructions or your current map-combination guide.
Check it, then save
Review the profile name and order. Amber marks show changes that are not saved yet. Choose Apply Load Order when you are ready.
Start the game
Once Mod Manager shows Saved, start ETS2 or ATS and load the same profile. Editing for that game locks while you play.
Use the Load Order Guide
Choose GUIDE beside Active Load Order. The complete visual scales to your screen without cropping. Use Open Manual Page for more detail, or close it with the button or Escape.
Check shared files with OVERRIDES
Choose OVERRIDES beside GUIDE. The first read-only scan begins automatically and checks shared def files in enabled local mods. It shows every mod involved, its load-order position and which one currently wins.
- Show These Mods in Load Order selects the relevant rows without moving them.
- Scan Local Mods refreshes the result.
- Copy Report and Save Report make a privacy-safe support report.
- Identical copies are hidden by default so the useful differences are easier to see.
Profiles, changes and saving
The workspace can open readable Local and Steam Cloud profiles. Searching, filtering, comparing and dragging are staged actions. The game profile changes only after Apply creates a managed backup, writes the order and reads it back successfully.
Use Compare & Transfer Mods when you want two profiles side by side. Copying stages references in the selected profile; it does not copy or move installed mod files.
Selecting mods and using Recycle
Your selection stays in place when you click or drag the scrollbar in either mod list. Click genuine empty space inside the list to clear it. Selected disabled or missing-file rows use rose highlighting; regular selected rows stay green.
To remove eligible local mods, review your selection and use Recycle. Check the confirmation before continuing. Items go to the Windows Recycle Bin, not permanent deletion. Do not install, update or replace those files while the operation runs.
If Recycle is unavailable, hover over the button and read the reason. V2.1.6 fixes some overly strict folder-access checks, but Workshop and linked items remain excluded. If you need help, share the exact warning with GMC Discord support; send private folder paths privately. Do not change permissions just to force it through.
Recover temporarily disabled mods
If you change the enabled order in-game, the manager may ask what to do with its saved disabled-mod information.
- Choose Keep Saved State if you want to retain that information. Closing the dialog also keeps it; Reload lets you return to recovery later.
- Choose Recover Disabled Mods when you are ready. Retained entries are added at the bottom, still disabled. Entries already present are not duplicated.
- Review the recovered entries and move them where you want them. Their previous positions are not guessed.
- Choose Apply Load Order when the order is ready. Recovery itself only stages the changes.
Saved Game Stats
Money and XP sit side by side, skills are grouped together and the buttons stay visible while you scroll. On smaller windows the sections stack. The familiar main Mod Manager workspace has not changed.
Use Saved Game Stats beside the selected profile to read and edit money, player XP and skills in a supported Local save. The save list shows its in-game title, save type, folder slot and date where available, so you can choose the right one.
Close both games and finish your load-order changes first. Read the selected save, make your changes and review the before-and-after values before confirming. ADR/HazMat classes have separate named checkboxes. Money uses the save’s base currency: EUR for ETS2 and USD for ATS.
The editor keeps the latest ten verified recovery copies per save slot. It does not edit Steam Cloud saves. After editing, load that exact save in-game rather than assuming Continue will choose it.
Truck condition, without changing it
The panel shows the truck recorded in your selected save: engine, transmission, cabin, chassis and wheels, with damage/wear and parts wear shown separately. Wheel readings can show a lowest–highest range. Missing information is marked Unavailable, not zero.
This is a read-only snapshot from that save. It does not repair the truck, show live readings or calculate an overall damage or restoration estimate.
Shared Load Orders
A .gmcorder file contains an organiser’s priority order and the details needed to match installed mods. It is not a mod pack and does not contain, subscribe to or download mods.
Import Shared… opens Review and Resolve. Missing items, different releases and ambiguous matches stay visible. Load Into Workspace still does not save; review it and Apply when ready.
A few important safety rules
- Do not edit a profile in Mod Manager while the same game is running.
- Missing or ambiguous files are never guessed.
- Linked mod items remain read-only inside Mod Manager.
- Recycle sends eligible local files to the Windows Recycle Bin; it never permanently deletes them.
- Keep the included licence with the application.
When you need help
Include Version 2.1.6, ETS2 or ATS, the profile type, what you clicked and the exact message you saw. For an Override Checker issue, attach its privacy-safe report. Never post full profile files or private paths publicly.
