LPMods begins
LPMods started in 2016, creating community content for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and, later, American Truck Simulator. Some projects were large packs; others were small fixes and tools. Every public release during that era was free — nothing was sold, and no paid tier existed.
Brazilian Trailers
The largest project of the LPMods chapter: Pack de Reboques Brasileiros, a pack of Brazilian trailers for ETS2. At its historical peak, it reached #3 among the most popular Euro Truck Simulator 2 Steam Workshop mods of all time.
That ranking is a snapshot of its moment, not a present-day position — the workshop has changed a great deal since. What lasted is simpler: it was genuinely used by a lot of people.

An official SCS Software post
Brazilian Trailers was featured in an official SCS Software Steam Workshop community post, published through the company's Instagram account — a spotlight on Workshop content that included the pack. A highlight for a free community project.
The one we refused to rush.
Iveco Hi-Way Brazilian version became the most ambitious project of the LPMods era — and the one still considered its strongest work. A Brazilian-market take on the truck, built for Euro Truck Simulator 2, from scratch, for about two years.
Development began in 2019. By the time it finally released in 2021, the wait had become a running joke in the Brazilian community — the “LPMods soap opera” (novela da LPMods). The reason was simple: it would not ship until it felt right.
When it finally launched in 2021, the wait paid off: the release was met with a strong response from the community and became one of the defining releases of the LPMods chapter.

Historical Steam Workshop snapshot for this project, from the LPMods era — not current Rafael LP or Sliproad numbers.
Like every public LPMods project, it was released free — and like the rest of that generation, its active support ended in 2023. It is a legacy project today: finished work from a closed chapter, not a maintained one.
Other projects from the era
- Brazilian Portuguese GPS voices — voice packs for ETS2 and ATS.
- Other smaller projects and mods — built around what the community asked for.
All of it free — it was made to be shared.
The chapter closes
Active support for that generation of projects ended in 2023. The mods remain what they were — finished work from a chapter that ran its course. They are not maintained today, and they are not offered here as downloads.
Support ended. The work didn't.
Rafael LP
The next chapter keeps the useful part — building for driving simulators — and raises the ambition: product development, with software that has to hold up during an actual drive. Rafael LP is the current identity; LPMods is a closed chapter, not the brand.
Sliproad is the flagship project of this chapter: verifiable gameplay for American Truck Simulator. Currently in development.
