Smaen’s Cargo System Rework
The goal of this mod was to expand on cargo selection, and ensure a more realistic offering of cargo types.
By default, the game does not allow reefer trailers to haul general dry cargo, and sideboard flatbed trailers are unable to transport standard flatbed cargo. This mod changes that, as well as other things to provide players with more cargo types for their chosen trailer.
With this mod, many trailers are given many more cargo options that are normally locked to only specific trailers or body types, despite being suitable for more trailers.
- Gives reefer trailers the ability to haul dryvan cargo
- Allows curtainsider trailers to haul most flatbed cargo types
- Allows dryvan and reefer trailers to haul ADR (hazardous) cargoes otherwise reserved for curtainsider trailers*
- Allows sideboard flatbeds ("brick trailer", including with crane) to also transport most other flatbed cargo types
- Lets lowbed trailers transport selected flatbed cargo types
- Lets flatbed trailers transport selected lowbed cargo types
- Fixes how some heavy machines and other cargoes are loaded on lowbed trailers, such as properly oriented excavators and other heavy machinery**
- Disables unnecessary width extensions on lowbed and lowloader trailers on cargoes that should not have them
Most of these changes also apply to modded trailers, as long as they use a vanilla body type (like ‘reefer’, ‘dryvan’, ‘lowbed’, ‘curtainside’ etc.)
This mod can be used in Convoy as an optional mod. It is possible to haul cargoes in multiplayer, and the cargo will be visible to other players without the mod. Changes to how cargo is loaded on the lowbed trailers will not be synced with players who do not have the mod though.
World of Trucks (External Market) jobs are generated by SCS servers and will only offer default cargo selections, even with this mod active.
This mod does not add any new types of cargo, it simply makes existing cargo available for more appropriate trailer types.
*ADR signs only supported on certain vanilla and DLC trailers.
**Lowbed cargo orientation change only for SCS trailers and DLC trailers, and modded trailers using bodies from these. Not all cargo has been adjusted due to game limiations.
- Excavators have some minor clipping with chains and/or ramps on some lowbed trailers. Unable to fix this without changing models.
- Some cargoes have weird stretching or placement of straps. This is an SCS issue I cannot fix, without simply disabling the cargo for those trailers.
- Some cargoes are still loaded oddly, like too far back on some trailers. This is sadly also not fixable for all cargoes.
