Somehow, after over 2k hours of this game. Whether it's playing on TMP, or on singleplayer with a lot of mods. The game still does not bore me

With the default SCS content I might not want to play it as much. In terms of gameplay however, it still brings entertainment after many, many hours. And although some of the time was spent doing a little bit of modding or save-editing. The majority has involved just playing the game, trying to have a relaxing drive. Of course sometimes it wasn't but, eh. It never will always be. I've been playing this game for over 5 years at this point, since the age of 14 I believe. Although it can't be recalled how this game came to my attention nor why it was bought, it feels as if playing this game has made me figure out what one of my interests are, and/or also possibly be a job in the future someday.

I've yet to try getting into making entire mods, doing more advanced save-edits, mapping and more. But I got a good feeling it's gonna keep me around for an even longer time trying each one out. Only issue I got about it is, how do I learn such things? There's videos for mapping yes, videos for making mods though sounds very confusing personally. Maybe it's just me, but anyway.

I don't really know on what to say about the map itself seeing as most of the time I play on ProMods. But not gonna lie, some countries do need re-worked real bad. The UK for instance, it looks ancient at this point and it just isn't nice to drive in but for the peace on TMP. And there's only 2 roads in Wales?! Why?

Otherwise, as far as I know anyway (because I'm not often that picky if it's fun to me). It's kept me entertained for years. And I bet it'll do that for more to come. It seems promising at keeping my attention so, we'll see what happens

Revisited '21 Edit

10th July: So, I've returned to add more on the review hitting 3k hours now. Jesus this was money well spent, but it's still not boring me forever. It might burn you out to be honest, but every time that happened I'd returned. On this section I will add more on the unoffical multiplayer side of things, "TruckersMP".
According to my profile the account was made the same as when buying the game. Unsure how I stumbled upon TMP but then again, who does remember the story for every game they found?

Anyways, when it hits October 22nd in 2021 I'll have owned this game for exactly 6 years. And it's been somewhat eventful.
I've been staff in all the VTC's I've joined so far. An examiner for my 1st in 2018 (until it closed 2019), and a Manager twice for another one between 2019 - 2021. On 02/04/2021, I've since joined a 3rd after leaving the previous 31/03/2021. If you recognise the following companies, you might've seen me around in-game or online.
"The Veteran Fleet"
"Plasma Trucking"
"Prime Logistics"

I won't delve into detail here about how they are as the review is about the game, and also my opinions on them are all different, naturally. So I'll spare that part.

Within the years of playing ETS2 via TruckersMP, I've been banned 3 times in total but, if I wasn't at first. Nowadays, am very aware & safe of a driver. I still make mistakes whether it be speed, awareness or other factors. But no-one is a perfect driver, everyone is a human controlling the vehicle.. I hope

Anyway, still love playing the game whether it's default map with mods, ProMods, TruckersMP, etc. Might burn me out. But after buying all major DLC's like maps & cargoes? Yeah, I can say this game is worth your time to enjoy. Really fun to play
