Project Next Level (PNL) v2.158.1 FIX/UPDATES (February 26, 2026)These fixes/updates should hopefully correct some issues users were having with the ATS and ETS2 versions of PNL v2.158 when combined with SnowyMoon v2. If you are not using SnowyMoon v2, we still recommend updating and replacing the files as directed below for your ATS/ETS2 version of PNL, as these fixes/updates also should hopefully correct some vegetation popping in and out issues, and some console errors that users were experiencing, plus we removed some duplicate and un-needed files and altered our compression methods, and tweaked some lighting/shading settings.
ATS VERSION:
Replace both the PNL_BASE_v2.158_[ATS].scs and PNL_VEG_v2.158_[ATS].scs files in your mod directory and load order with the newly downloaded and extracted PNL_BASE_v2.158.1_[ATS].scs and PNL_VEG_v2.158.1_[ATS].scs files and adjust your mod load order accordingly to remove the old files and add the new files. We recommend deleting the older files from your mod directory, but make a back-up copy first incase the new files do not work for you, then you wont have to re-download the old files.
These updates address:
– SnowyMoon v2 compatibility
– Vegetation pop‑in issues
– Console errors
– Duplicate/unnecessary files
– Lighting & shading tweaks
