Enhanced Graphics 2.2.1 MOD (Beta Version) for ETS2 1.61 + Reshade Download (Patreon)

🌤 Enhanced Graphics 2.2.1 MOD (Beta Version) for ETS2 1.61

Changelog

☁️ Sky and Atmosphere

Reworked all skyboxes with improved contrast and more natural color saturation

Improved lighting for all updated skyboxes

Improved distant fog for a more realistic atmosphere

Improved sun

Improved sunshafts

Improved Depth of Field (DoF)

Improved moon visibility during both day and night

🌧️ Weather and Rain

🎨 Visual Improvements

Improved bloom effect for more natural light glow around bright objects

Improved overall image contrast

⚠️ Note

The sliders for interior, exterior, and skybox brightness have been removed because ETS2 1.61 introduced further rendering changes and the depth map is no longer displayed correctly, possibly as part of SCS Software’s preparations for future DLSS / DLAA support, although this has not been officially confirmed.

To apply the recommended settings, open the in-game console and enter:

exec "/enhanced.cfg"
