This guide will guide you through the process of installing the Grimes Early Autumn mod for the 2025 season.

§5.1 - Server Auto Kicks - Headlights

With Grimes Early Autumn Mod support, the automatic check for lights has been changed to:

ETS2: 18:00 (6 PM) - 07:00 (7 AM)


Downloading the Modifications

Once you have downloaded the necessary files, navigate to the ATSMP or ETS2MP directory, usually located in “Documents”. If you don’t already have one, you will need to create a folder with the name “mod.”

Your ATSMP directory should look like this:
ATSMP Directory

Your ETS2MP directory should look like this:
ETS2MP Directory

After that, proceed to move the modification files into the mod folder, ensuring that you do not rename them, or similar. Otherwise, you will not be able to connect to the server.

Your ATSMP mod folder should now look like this: ATSMP mod folder

Your ETS2MP mod folder should now look like this: ETS2MP mod folder

Now you should be able to log in and connect to the server with the Early Autumn Mod enabled.

Note: Do not change file names or their content. Only when using unmodified files will you be able to connect to the servers. Also only use the official download links provided by the mod author and never use download links provided by others.


Troubleshooting

→ Error when joining the server

  • It is possible that the files are corrupted and you need to redownload them. Make sure that the files were fully downloaded before you transferred them into your mod folder.
  • Ensure that you have not renamed any of the files.
