Description — Winter Sounds Mod v1.57 (1.57.x) for ATS
❄️ Winter Sounds Mod for ATS - this mod aptly reworks sounds for a snowy winter season. Is an add-on mod that adds various ambient sounds to the game to give it a more realistic winter atmosphere. Some of the sounds included in the mod are snow falls, wind howls, ice cracking, and engine starting in cold weather. The mod also changes the land and foliage textures to give it a more winter-like feel and make driving in snowy conditions more challenging. Are you ready to brave and immerse yourself for the coldest season?
Features Winter Sounds:
– ❄️ Subtle, immersive snowfall ambience – 🌬️ Multiple layers of howling wind & storm gusts during intensified winter storms – 🧊 Unique wind sound combinations when stepping outside your truck in harsh weather – ⚡ Chance of thundersnow effects with distance‑based muffling through heavy snowfall – 🚿 Reworked wiper sound, including sleet wiping across the windshield – 🪟 Dry‑windshield squeak effect for added realism
Changes in v1.57:
– 📦 Repacked using the latest Game Archive Packer – ❌ Removed several core features now replaced by the official snowfall system (which lacks sound) – 🔄 Improved load‑order independence: Winter Sounds now works correctly even when winter graphics mods are placed below the Sound Fixes Pack, matching typical mod category order.
Exclusive features: – 🐦 Reduced insect & bird ambience to reflect winter conditions – 🚗 Tesla Model S AC system sound when the camera is near the hood (ATS only) – 🚫 Limited spawn of non‑winter AI vehicles, such as open‑top cars and ice‑cream vans
Compatibility notes: * Requires higher priority than the Sound Fixes Pack, the Frosty Winter Weather mod, and any rain sound mods to work correctly. * Thundersnow sound feature might only apply with the Frosty Winter Weather mod for American Truck Simulator.
For more immersion: While not mandatory, the mod is highly recommended and designed to work with the following for an immersive experience: – 🌨️ Frosty Winter Weather Mod by Grimes – 🔊 Sound Fixes Pack
✔️ Tested on game version 1.57.x
