Most versions are distributed as a two-part RAR archive. You must download both parts for the extraction to work correctly.

The "Realistic Brutal Graphics & Weather" (RBGW) mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) version 1.43 is a comprehensive overhaul designed to replace vanilla weather, lighting, and environmental textures. Developed by Kass, version 7.6 (and the slightly newer 7.7) was specifically optimized for the 1.43 game update.

Use a tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract the first part; it will automatically pull data from the second part to create a single .scs mod file.
