ETS2/ATS Lighting Improvements v2 Last Preview - A Sunny Day Time-lapse
*** Its not released yet. This is the last preview before release. It will be released soon.
This is a lighting mod to improve lighting in ETS 2 and ATS. It is replacing default lighting system with modern lighting methods while using default weather and day&night cycle.
- Lighting Improvements v2 is not released yet and it will be released when its ready. Unlike v1, v2 is using default weather and day&night cycle so you can use with the weather mods as you want.
- It supports night time (using default lighting for headlights, streetlights etc).

Good afternoon, I simply opened the game today, and it doesn't want to open, yesterday I played normally, I removed the snowy plug and the game opens normally, and just put it in and the game doesn't open, does anyone know why?
it will be going to paid soon
I installed the mod but pressing end nor ctrl + p does nothing? It also doesn't seem like the mod is doing anything as is, the graphics look the same as before.
What is going on with the Road textures in 2.0.11 ? They look very low res. Not all but some of Them.

I followed the installation method, but when I press the "END" key in the game, "Connection error" is displayed. What is the reason? "
Hi guys first off all this is a game changer allot of work into this , just wondering how tot activate the setting menu in the top left corner cant seem to find that
why does the interior turn black when using this?? im confused i dont use reshade
Are you using ets 2 1.55?
Can i use optiscaler with this modification "Lighting V2" to generate frames
u can use upscaler but no frame gen because the game is on dx11, use lossless scalling or afmf if u have amd gpu
La Version 2.0.2 me está funcionando correctamente con mi tarjeta Nvidia Geforce 1650 y 32 gb de ram, es muy importante entender que por ahora deben poner el escalado en 100% para no tener una excesiva perdida de fps ya que al activar el plugins Snowy Moon se cambian automáticamente las configuraciones de tu juego. Al usarlo con el mod gráfico PNG era demasiado malo el rendimiento, por ahora estoy utilizando Weather_3.3_2K y sus extras y al menos ahí me rinde mucho mejor.
unsubbing, enough of this clown show.
never seen someone more impatient than you.
quando sera lançada a v2 ?
Whenever it meets or exceeds his expectations if I had to guess.
It was for ETS/ATS TAA motion blur for interior cam nothing more
Fair enough.
Anybody else received email notification that v10.2.23 released 7/30/2025 around 9:20pm est. or was this some sort of joke 🤔
Dont worry kid, i'm sure there'll be another teaser video next week
This looks lovely! Can't wait to get my hands on it for my game.
Hello Snowy moon thank you for all the efforts you provide to us and make us happy. I have some questions and I hope you can answer them if possible. The mod only works with 1.53. Does this mean that those who have 1.55 have to go back to version 1.53 for the mod to work? Secondly, if we do everything after installation, if it does not work, what is the problem? Also, does the mod only work with DirectX 11, and what is the solution? If I have 12, do I have to do a system restore or what is the solution? Thank you in advance.
Don't worry. The lighting system v2 is developed for 1.55. It's impossible to determine a cause before any failure has occurred. Do you run ETS2 under DX12??? ETS normally uses DX 11 and you should have no problem using DX11 with ETS2, which is default.
sera que lança antes do mes acabar tomara
ta ficamdo mas gostoso de jogar o ets2 com esse plugin
Hello Snowy, I have been following your excellent work for quite some time now. I understand that things have been busy, leaving you with little time to respond to everyone, but I will leave my question here anyway. Will that advanced 2D cloud system (I forgot the name) still be a reality? Or will you stick with Skyboxes? Congratulations on your dedication, and thank you for spending so much time providing us with a more immersive experience!
He once mentioned that volumetric clouds don't look that much better – mostly because they're far away or we're usually focused on the road – but they do eat up a lot of resources. That said, I'd love to see it become a reality someday too. : )
atp bros just trolling 😭 he never gonna release this
ay bro first of all hes doing it most likely allon it seems and bro when it comes out its free and you are behaving like a kid just wait and let him take his time
youre edging us bro 😭
numa das versao anterior e possivel ver goticulas de chuva no asfalto em poça dagua vc pretende trazer isso p nova versao?
It would be a game changer, the concrete roads are very bright for me in VR. With balanced lighting coming with this mod, I hope a lot more things can be improved, and not just overexposure of concrete
A lot of lightings are missing using amd rx 6600 (headlights, truck interior..)
you intend to implement fsr in the plugin for those who have amd card.
these two ladies talk a lot
Bro saying like 10th time released soon
...
Yesssss
"Last" , realy? Be serious please!
Would you be able to let $1+ patrons download the current version a bit earlier? We're really happy to support you, and we can't wait to try out your work — it looks amazing! Even if there are some bugs, we totally understand. We just really want to get our hands on it as soon as possible.
Dude it's not the end of the world. I'm sure this will get released whenever SM's plugin meets or exceeds his expectations. It does look amazing, patience is a virtue.
The boy that cried wolf
Some of you guys are not fair, he's putting a lot of time effort and dedication into this mod, you should be grateful. Thank you Snowy looks beautiful.
This should work for 1.55 update for ets2 🙏🙏
Tá ficando muito top, parabéns
Dude, this is the 50th video. It's starting to get annoying. If you're going to post it, post it, if not, don't post it.
Yo, don't be rude. While I do understand the frustration, nobody has the right to demand something from someone, ever. The guy can post however he pleases. If you don't like it, you can either ignore or turn off your notifications.
With this reshade will not longer be needed?
ok you gotta tell us if this is gon be released or not. no more teasing videos.
It'll come when it's ready. As he says in every preview, it will be released soon.
How about the performance?
Thank you for your efforts! I am very grateful. (There may be some issues with using machine translation, please forgive me, if i 'm not polite, i'm so sorry) May I ask if it will be released within the next two days?
Wow, the notification arrived and I thought FINALLY but it wasn't this time haha but it's getting really good😲
