Enhance your American Truck Simulator (ATS) experience with these top ten mods! While compatibility may vary, ATS allows individual mod enabling/disabling.

1. TruckersMP: Experience collaborative trucking with up to 63 players. This multiplayer mod offers multiple servers and moderation, surpassing ATS's built-in Convoy mode.
2. Realistic Truck Wear: Refines the damage system for a more realistic trucking simulation. Expect fairer damage modeling and the ability to retread tires, but also increased insurance costs.
3. Sound Fixes Pack: Elevates the audio experience with numerous tweaks and additions. Enjoy enhanced sound effects, such as more realistic wind noise and reverb, plus five new air horns.

4. Real Companies, Gas Stations and Billboards: Adds authenticity by incorporating real-world brands like Walmart, UPS, and Shell into the game environment.
5. Realistic Truck Physics: Improves vehicle suspension and other physics aspects for a more lifelike driving experience without drastically increasing difficulty.
6. Ludicrously Long Trailers: Embrace the challenge (and potential chaos) of hauling absurdly long trailer combinations. Note: This mod is single-player only.
7. Realistic Brutal Graphics and Weather: Enhances the visual fidelity of weather effects, including improved fog and skyboxes, without demanding high-end hardware.

8. Slow Traffic Vehicles: Adds slow-moving vehicles like tractors and combines to the roads, creating more realistic traffic scenarios and challenging overtaking maneuvers.
9. Optimus Prime (and other Transformer skins): Transform your trucking experience with eight different Optimus Prime skins for compatible trucks.
10. More Realistic Fines: Makes lawbreaking more nuanced. Speeding and running red lights might go unpunished unless caught on camera or by law enforcement.
These mods offer a diverse range of enhancements, from improved realism to whimsical additions. Explore the Steam Workshop for detailed information and installation instructions. For European trucking adventures, explore similar mods for Euro Truck Simulator 2.
