ETS 2/ATS Lighting v2 - My Settings

My Settings for ETS 2/ATS Lighting Improvements v2.

Important: I like to use these settings. But it doesn't mean you should. Also these settings are calibrated for average monitor and for ETS2. You can do some adjustments for your monitor and for ATS.

I don't use any mods. If you are using some weather/lighting mods you might need to change settings.

You should focus on :

  • Objects > Surface > Albedo Saturation

  • Colors/Tonemap > Pre-Exposure

  • Colors/Tonemap > Pre-Contrast

  • (I also use Motion Blur with 5 Intensity)

Good evening, I subscribed but the window to paste the key isn't appearing, not even when I open the game. What could be the problem?

Hello, my online nickname is PGL and I'm a TikTok influencer. I play Euro Truck Simulator 2 with your Snowy Moon mod, which I really like. While I'm live on TikTok with the ETS 2 game, a lot of people ask me what mod I use. Do you want to collaborate and win together? I show them, tell them and help them with the mod to buy and download it, of course after a small commission. I'm waiting for your answer, have a good day!

S
Snowy Moon · November 25, 2025

Thank you for your offer <3 For now I like to keep everything simple and focus on development only so I try to avoid collaborations etc, I don't want to do anything else until the plugin/mod hub I am working on is ready but maybe in the future <3

Hi Guys, a lot of you guys were requesting my Reshade presents, these are best reshades to combine with Snowymoon. I dont plan to charge anything just for a reshade preset, unlike others. Heres the preset for all of you for free. I just want one thing from you guys, is to leave your feedback after testing my settings https://modsfire.com/lYU5N9RhTlDU2Dr I use snowy's recommended settings, + this reshade mostly Huxxi Cinematic and Huxxi Naturral + in objects make sure to keep default roads, not snowyones. I use PNG + SNOWYMOON + RESHADE SCREENSHOTS: https://ibb.co/p6rkrHKB https://ibb.co/278Vfz3p https://ibb.co/SX82JhT9 https://ibb.co/vx52R8bs https://ibb.co/Tx1VLXrF https://ibb.co/4Zrwb56L https://ibb.co/bjwNy6SX https://ibb.co/qFWQjHYy https://ibb.co/8Lrvkkw5 https://ibb.co/tTbHmQ00 https://ibb.co/Nd120rZb

What should I change in the snowy moon settings? I constantly have a white sky. Not a cloud in the sky. Actually, there's nothing there. , which makes everything look faded. I set it up exactly according to these settings. Thank you!

M
MichalisRH · October 18, 2025

It seems strange to me that you don't have any clouds. Are you using a weather mod? If so, that's probably the cause. Try with default weather only.

MichalisRH · October 10, 2025

I'm still trying to figure out the slider settings. My mistake was that I always set them to positive (+) values, ​​but some wanted negative (-) values ​​guided by Snowy's settings. Finally, I think I found the ideal settings for both (ETS2+ATS2). Lighting Method B without Rashade. Screenshot (1080p): https://ibb.co/RkPnh80T

Tunahan Yaşar · October 9, 2025

I can't run it with Reshade. I create a separate reshade folder and put the reshade files there and I put your files directly into winx64, but the game doesn't open at all and I can't start the game.

M
MichalisRH · October 10, 2025

If you used the latest version Reshade 6.6 it does not work. Guaranteed try with version Reshade 6.4.1

Snowy, one question. When we change the leaves thicken setting from the Slider to 0.00, which is indeed more realistic, as in the video you posted, is there a possibility that these changes will also be visible in the mirror?

You have to pay every month.

@snowymoon Distance screen shadows causing a lot of flickering, the low res SSAO is also slightly problematic.

M
MichalisRH · October 7, 2025

For lighting method A I used exactly the settings from a Brazilian YouTuber whose channel I subscribe to (z3 carioca) and he makes amazing videos almost every day. I asked him in the comments for a video with the settings and in a few days, he presented it on his channel. They are incredibly good. You can find and see them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNO5GfWqkxk

Thank you very much for your work.👍 I am simply shocked at how the picture is changing for the better and smoothing out. The developers themselves have not been able to achieve this since 2012. / Тебе большое спасибо за твою работу. Я просто в шоке как меняется картинка в лучшую сторону и сглаживание. Сами разработчики не могут этого добиться с 2012 года

I'll start by sharing the Reshade file I use and adapted it to my own screen and my own eyes. I use lighting method A with all the default settings and JBX Graphics. Whatever method I use, after a while I return to A. Love! Download Preset File: https://limewire.com/d/dKRpp#fMeaYRfJ0k

marc · October 5, 2025

Fantastic! This was a problem I had. At night. I couldn't find the right setting. I had a result that was too black, with like black patches in the shadows... I put it down to the fact that we all have different equipment... The setting you added for the night fixes my whole problem... Thank you, thank you, and thank you

Are you sure? If you are using Method D you are not going to have them because its using default tonemap, Pre- options are for tonemap

Regardless of the settings, how is it possible to elevate this game to such a high level with just one file? Sir, it looks simply stunning.
