Iveco Hi-Way Jean Rittono 1.55
The Iveco Hi-Way Jean Rittono 1.55 ETS2 refers to a highly customized and popular mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2, specifically designed for game version 1.55. Jean Rittono is a well-known content creator in the ETS2 modding community, particularly popular among Brazilian players, and his mods often feature a high level of detail and a distinct style.
This mod aims to deliver a more immersive and personalized Iveco Hi-Way experience, going beyond the base game’s offerings.
While the exact features can vary depending on the specific release by Jean Rittono, here’s what mods like this typically include:
Version 1.55 Compatibility: Crucially, this mod is designed to work with ETS2 game version 1.55. This is important as game updates often break older mods. Version 1.55 itself brings significant changes like asynchronous loading, UI redesigns, and the new Driving Academy.
Highly Detailed Model: Expect a meticulously crafted Iveco Hi-Way model, often with improved textures, realistic lighting, and intricate interior details.
Extensive Customization: This is where Jean Rittono’s mods often shine. You’ll likely find a wide array of options for:
Chassis: Multiple configurations (e.g., 4×2, 6×2, 6×4) to suit different hauling needs.
Engines & Transmissions: A broad selection of engines with varying power outputs and realistic gearbox options.
External Accessories: Custom bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, light bars, mudflaps, and various paintable parts. Many mods by Brazilian creators include “corujinhas” (small decorative owls), specialized antennas, and other regional aesthetic elements.
Interior Customization: Enhanced dashboard, custom seats, additional interior lights, and various personalizable items.
Custom Sounds: High-quality mods often come with unique engine sounds, air brake sounds, and horn sounds that are recorded from real Iveco Hi-Way trucks, greatly enhancing immersion.
Ownable: You will be able to purchase this customized Iveco Hi-Way from a mod truck dealer in the game, allowing you to fully personalize it and add it to your fleet.
Potential for Tandem/Trailer Integration: Some truck mods are designed to work seamlessly with specific trailers or offer tandem chassis options, although it’s worth noting that some mod trailers (like certain bitrems) might have compatibility issues with invisible cargo.
Download the Mod File:
The mod will typically come as an .scs file (or sometimes a .zip archive containing one or more .scs files).
Place in Mod Folder:
Navigate to your ETS2 documents folder: Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\mod.
Copy the downloaded .scs file(s) into this mod folder.
Activate in Game:
Launch Euro Truck Simulator 2.
From the profile selection screen, click on Mod Manager.
Locate the “Iveco Hi-Way Jean Rittono” mod (or its specific name) in the left panel.
Double-click it or use the arrow to move it to the Active Mods list on the right.
Mod Order: Always check if the mod creator provides specific instructions for mod order. Sometimes, certain mods need to be placed higher or lower in the Mod Manager list to function correctly.
Click Confirm Changes.
Load your game profile.
Purchase In-Game: Once your game loads, visit an in-game Truck Dealer (it might be listed as a “Mod Dealer” or simply the Iveco dealer, depending on how the mod is structured) to purchase and customize your new Iveco Hi-Way.
Important Considerations
Mod Compatibility: While this mod is specifically for 1.55, running many mods together can sometimes lead to conflicts or crashes. If you experience issues, try disabling other mods to see if the problem persists.
Performance: Highly detailed mods can sometimes impact game performance, especially on older or less powerful PCs.
Updates: Game updates (e.g., from 1.55 to 1.56) often break mod compatibility. You’ll need to check if Jean Rittono releases an updated version for future game patches.
