Extract text from Game mod files (SCS)
To convert SCS mods to another format, you need Euro Truck Simulator 2 or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Modification Archive" file type, you need software like Euro Truck Simulator 2 or a similar tool.
The .SCS file is a game data archive used primarily by SCS Software for titles like Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. These files contain packaged game assets - such as 3D models, textures, audio clips, and scripts - used to distribute community-made modifications (mods) or official DLC running on the Prism3D engine. Less commonly, the .SCS extension is used for sliced 3D model files by Stratasys printers and save files for SimCity Societies by Electronic Arts.
While .SCS files are perfectly suited for game engines, they are frustrating for users or mod developers who need to inspect or edit the internal assets. The primary disadvantage is that operating systems do not natively recognize .SCS as an archive format, treating it as a locked, unrecognized file. Furthermore, some mod authors lock their .SCS files with custom file headers or non-standard compression to protect their intellectual property, making them impossible to open by simply double-clicking or renaming them.
For editing, troubleshooting, or archiving mod contents, you need to extract or convert the .SCS file. Converting it to standard formats like ZIP, 7Z, or RAR allows you to easily view the internal DDS textures, .TOBJ files, and PMD models using standard archive utilities like 7-Zip. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser - free, online, and without installing complex modding software.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SCS converter.
