Me too. After about 80% completion and 18 trucks in my garage that I never used \u2013 I grew tired of how easy the game had become. I tried a few mods out but didn\u2019t find something that exactly fit what I was looking for \u2013 so I built my own with the help of some code used from other modders.<\/p>\n<p>** This is NOT a realism mod, check out WolFRocK for realism . This Mod should be enjoyed from a fresh, new game \u2013 playing from Michigan to Alaska and then to the brutal Russia. Back up your saves and experience the game from scratch. Enjoy the struggle. Feel satisfied with a completed mission using all of your trucks.. if you can afford them\u2026\u2026Lastly, enjoy the immersion.***<\/p>\n<p>*DISCLAIMER \u2013 there are no overt suspensions, no custom trucks, no mud tires on a highway truck, no addons that trucks shouldn\u2019t have, no low riders, no 65\u2033 tires on the scout 800 and no football field length winches. This is the vanilla game turned ruthless.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve come up with. It wont be for everyone:<br \/>\n**NEW** Suspensions for Scouts and US trucks supplied by sicksixgamer<\/p>\n<p>Tested these for a few hours and found them to add to the immersion. Seems to have added some extra difficulty as well. RAISE THOSE TRUCKS!<\/p>\n<p>**NEW** Added High Saddle Semi Fuel Tanker for purchase, and gave it 7500L (you\u2019ll need this later in the game)<\/p>\n<p>-Better Tire Pressure from Siraij<br \/>\n-Realistic Gearboxes from WolFRocK<br \/>\n-Increased cargo weight from WolFRocK<br \/>\n-Winch lengths reduced 25%<br \/>\n-Fuel Capacities reduced 25%<br \/>\n-Truck Prices doubled, some were tailored to whats OP and what\u2019s not. The idea here is to play from the start, and not go to Russia and grab the Tayga; but. it\u2019s your game =D<br \/>\n-Damage Values all reduced to 20. Take your time.<br \/>\n-No Recovery from Lo2k<\/p>\n<p>*If you decide to apply this mod to an existing game, I suggest that the recovery option be used on every truck prior. There\u2019s an odd interaction with installing this mod and trucks that are left out on the map and spawned into for the first time (trucks spawn damaged. Doesn\u2019t occur once you re-deploy your trucks.*<\/p>\n<p>Installation : Manual (to skip from dealing with the in-game mod system)<br \/>\nDownload the file and unzip with WinRAR (cloud icon with a down arrow next to the description)<br \/>\nGo to your game directory (Epic Games\\SnowRunner\\en_us\\preload\\paks\\client\\)<br \/>\nBackup your original \u201cinitial.pak\u201d file<br \/>\nReplace the original initial.pak file with the new modified initial.pak<br \/>\nenjoy.<br \/>\nIf the game decides to turn against you (trailer issues, cargo etc) don\u2019t be afraid to REPLACE the initial.cache.block from your original PAK file to use the recovery option.<\/p>\n<p>Leave some comments below, would like to hear if you like my rendition of the game. Would love to know why a thumbs down is warranted as well.<\/p>\n<p>In Development<br \/>\nWorking on removing the ability to change in-game time of day<\/p>\n<p>CHANGELOG 1.21<br \/>\nChanged a few prices to reflect OP trucks.<\/p>\n<p>CHANGELOG 1.2<br \/>\n**NEW** Suspensions for Scouts and US trucks supplied by sicksixgamer<br \/>\n**NEW** Added High Saddle Semi Fuel Tanker for purchase, and gave it 7500L (you\u2019ll need this later in the game)<\/p>\n<p>If you folks like the mod, leave a comment, or hit the like button =D<\/p>\n<p>CHANGELOG 1.1<br \/>\nCorrected saggy suspensions on Scout 800, Chevy1500, Loadstar1700<br \/>\nChanged repair capacity of roof racks to 100<\/p>\n<p>Authors: Raytheon<\/p>\n<p><center>    <a href=\"\/getlink?url=68747470733a2f2f6d6f6473626173652e636f6d2f69666973677977766c6562662f727574686c657373312e32312e7a69702e68746d6c\" \r\n       target=\"_blank\"\r\n       style=\"            display: inline-flex;            align-items: center;            gap: 10px;            padding: 12px 24px;            border-radius: 6px;            background: var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            color: #fff;            text-decoration: none;            font-weight: 600;            font-size: 16px;            border: 2px solid var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            transition: all 0.3s ease;            box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);       \"\r\n       onmouseover=\"this.style.background='#333'; this.style.borderColor='#333'; this.style.transform='translateY(-2px)';\"\r\n       onmouseout=\"this.style.background='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.borderColor='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.transform='translateY(0)';\"\r\n    >\r\n        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-download\"><\/i>\r\n        <span>DOWNLOAD MODS<\/span>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <\/center><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tired of EZ Mode?
