"MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL" is a popular mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) that seeks to recreate Brazilian roads and cities, offering a transport simulation experience in Brazil.

**Main Features:**

* **Brazilian Cities:** The map includes several Brazilian cities, with a focus on some states in the Northeast, such as Pernambuco and Paraíba. There are also mentions of a larger map, "Explorando a América", which promises over 900 cities in 27 Brazilian states and 12 South American countries, although it is important to check whether this is the same mod or a different/paid version.

* **Free:** Most versions of "MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL" are free.

* **Compatibility:** The map is updated to be compatible with the latest versions of ETS2 (e.g. 1.50, 1.53, 1.54, depending on the version of the mod).

* **Additional Content:** Some versions of the mod already come with trailer and wheel packs, eliminating the need to download external mods for these items.

* **Loading and Scenarios:** The map aims to offer immersive scenarios and a cargo loading system.

* **Not 100% Simulated:** It is important to note that, although it is well built, the map may not be 100% simulated in terms of scale, but the cities follow a correct sequence.

**How ​​to Download and Install (General Step by Step):**

1. **Check Compatibility:** Before downloading, make sure that the mod version is compatible with your current version of Euro Truck Simulator 2.

2. **Downloading the Files:** The map is usually divided into several parts (for example, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and an optional Part 5 for those who do not have all the game's DLCs). Download all the necessary parts. Download links are often found in the descriptions of YouTube videos or on the official map website (if available).

3. **Extract the Files:** The mod files come in `.scs` format (or compressed in `.rar`/`.zip` that need to be extracted to `.scs`). Use a program like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract them if necessary.

4. **Move to the "mod" Folder:** Copy all the `.scs` files from the map to the `Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod` folder.

5. **Create a New Profile (Recommended):** It is highly recommended to create a new profile in ETS2 to use the map, to avoid conflicts with other mods or the default Europe map.

6. **Activate Mods in the Mod Manager:**

* Open Euro Truck Simulator 2.

* In the main menu, go to "Mod Manager".

* Activate all parts of the "MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL". The activation order is crucial and is usually indicated by the mod creator (e.g. Part 1, Base, Complement, Real Traffic, No Europe, Real KM). Follow the recommended order.

* **Common Order (may vary):**

* American Brazil Map (Part 1)

* American Brazil Map (Base)

* American Brazil Map (Complement)

* American Brazil Map (Real Traffic - if available)

* American Brazil Map (No Europe - if you want to drive only in Brazil)

* Real KM (if you want real mileage, usually above "No Europe")

* Confirm changes.

7. **Change the Map Module:** When creating or editing the profile, on the map module selection screen, you **must** select the option corresponding to "MAPA AMERICAM BRASIL" (usually something like "Brazil.mbd" or similar), and **not** the default "europe.mbd". This is a crucial step for the map to work correctly.

8. **Select the Starting City:** When starting the new profile, drag the map to find the Brazilian cities and select your starting city.
