This paper examines the modding ecosystem for 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul (hereafter ALH), a mid-2000s trucking simulator. It surveys available mod types, technical methods for creating and installing mods, preservation and compatibility challenges, legal and community considerations, and recommendations for sustainable mod development and distribution.
