❄️ Northern Open Spaces Map for ETS2 - is a cropped and adapted version of the original Russian Open Spaces (ROS) map mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2). Originally developed by Bozo, it has been maintained and updated by hi sora. This mod focuses on the northern and eastern regions of Russia, providing an expansive, open-world trucking experience in remote, snowy, and rugged terrains. It removes the western parts of the original ROS to minimize conflicts and ensure compatibility with other Russian-themed map mods, such as RusMap, Ural Map, Sibir Map, and Kirov Map. The result is a streamlined map that emphasizes long-haul routes through vast open spaces, ideal for players seeking challenging drives in harsh winter conditions without overloading the game's map system.
