For Euro Truck Simulator 2 / American Truck Simulator, use TS SaveEditor:

The SGS File Editor is a software tool used to edit and modify SGS (Structured Graphics Script) files. SGS files are used in various applications, including video games and simulation software. This guide will walk you through the basics of using the SGS File Editor, its features, and provide tips for working with SGS files.
