🧭 Census Mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2: Make Your Map Smarter!

Version for (ProMods + RoExtended)-based combos

*Based on: ETS2 v1.54 Map Combo (by thedrippingone / SCS forum) & World-Wide Classic Combo 1.54 (by GMC Community) 

Census is a large-scale project designed to bring the entire in-game world map to a unified, accurate, and visually clean standard for displaying settlements.

🎯 Main goal:

A complete rework and unification of city names for maximum accuracy, readability, and realism.

🔧 Key improvements you'll get:

✅ Accurate and up-to-date names:

— All cities now have modern, official names.

— If you enable “additional city names” in the game settings, you'll see native names of cities marked with [*].

— Arabic and other unsupported names are replaced with standardized romanized versions.

— Historical or incorrect names have been corrected.

✅ Logical and realistic abbreviations:

— Overly long names are replaced with intuitive and widely used abbreviations.

✅ Multilingual translations:

— Proper translations are currently available in English and Russian.

— If your language isn’t supported yet, a common international name or transliteration is used instead.

— Coming soon: German and Polish languages, as well as port names for ferry terminals.

✅ Realistic city importance scaling:

— City name and icon size now reflect real-world population!

— An enormous amount of up-to-date demographic data has been gathered for almost every settlement in the base game and most popular map mods.

— Capitals and megacities now stand out more clearly, while small towns look appropriately modest.

✅ Smart zoom behavior:

— In densely populated areas, smaller towns disappear when zoomed out to keep the map clean and readable.

— Zoom in, and they reappear.

✅ Expanded list of “key cities”:

— More cities are now available for fast travel and job access without visiting them first.

— This includes all capitals, major cities, and strategic hubs from popular map mods.

✅ Unified standard across ALL map mods:

— Regardless of your map combo, Census ensures a consistent, predictable, and accurate display of all cities.

⚙️ Technical Details & Key Info:

• Scope of work: Over 4,300 city entries reworked, covering 2,900+ unique settlements (including duplicates across mods).
• Data sources: City Population, OpenStreetMap, GeoNames, Wikipedia, Google Maps.
• Compatibility: Designed for and tested with complex map combos, including:
• World-Wide Classic 1.54 (by GMC Community) https://www.gmc-community.co.uk/world-wide-classic-1-54
• ETS2 v1.54 Map Combo (by thedrippingone) https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=293794
• ETS2 ProMods / EuRoadNet Based Global Map Combos (by OrangeLion889) https://sites.google.com/view/orangelion889mapcombos/main-page
• Load Order 154 (by BXP Discord) https://discord.gg/vfBMnfvgxe
• Hi Sora Load Order and other combinations based on them.
• Installation order: It is CRITICAL to place Census above all localization and city renaming mods in the mod manager!
• It will overwrite only city names, preserving other translations (UI, cargo, etc.) from your other mods.
• Correct mod base selection:
• To minimize conflicts (like incorrect license plates or dealership bugs), ensure you use the appropriate Census version for your specific mod setup. The mod is optimized for major map combinations.
• (Pro-Mods + RoExtended)-based
• (Pro-Mods + BalkanXP)-based
• (EuRoadNet + RoExtended)-based
• (EuRoadNet + BalkanXP)-based

⚠️ Known Issues:

• No integration yet for the MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL mod due to lack of accessible city data.
• Given the vast scale of changes, occasional mistakes are possible:
• typos, incorrect region identification for cities with duplicate names, etc.

🙌 Important for the Community:

We're striving for perfection, but mistakes can happen!

• If you notice an error in a city name, translation, or population — please report it in the comments.
• If a native-language name isn’t marked with a [*], let us know the city and the mod it's from.
• If you feel some city names are too large, or that more towns should be hidden when zoomed out — please suggest the region or country for optimization.
• Your feedback is invaluable!

🔮 Long-Term Plans:

In addition to more languages and ferry port names, future updates may include translation of some in-game messages and cargo types — for even deeper immersion.

(With apologies to the creators of Universal FIX & Localization…)

✅ Summary:

Census isn’t just a cosmetic mod — it’s a fundamental upgrade to ETS2’s cartographic system.

It makes navigation clearer, city names more authentic, and the game world more structured and believable.

Install Census and enjoy a map that finally speaks your language!
