From '''ETS2 1.26''' and '''ATS 1.5''' you are able to specify list of the DLCs which your mod requires to be installed in manifest file. This feature will block activation of the mod in mod manager when user has one of the required DLCs missing. To specify dependencies you need to edit your mod manifest.sii file and add the following:<pre>dlc_dependencies[]: "package_name"</pre>Where package_name is name of the DLC package - you can find package names in game directory for example if your mod requires DLC Scandinavia - package archive is called dlc_north.scs, the package name is the archive name without extension so in this case it will be dlc_north.

* <code>description.en_gb.txt</code>
