| Mod Type | Status with 1.48.1.0 | Notes |
|----------|----------------------|-------|
| Map mods (Promods, RusMap, etc.) | ✅ Works if updated for 1.48 | Minor patch – no map version bump needed. Promods 2.67 works. |
| Truck mods | ✅ Usually fine | No changes to truck chassis or engine parameters. |
| Trailer mods | ✅ Fine | No new trailer definitions added. |
| Graphics / Weather | ⚠️ Check | Some weather mods that modify climate files may reset at noon (fixed in 1.48.1.0). |
| Sound mods | ✅ Fully compatible | |
| Economy mods | ⚠️ Minor issue | If mod alters job generation time, it may override the fix (no crash, but unrealistic jobs return). |
Recommendation: Backup your config.cfg and controls.sii before updating. Most 1.48 mods work, but always check the mod author’s page.
