@Wolf1779, this is not compatible with neons of Unlimiter, since it also affects the car shadows, Unlimiter will need to be updated to work with the new logic of car shadows from this mod.

Also, does anyone know any fixes or patches to stop the frequent crashes that MWfixes can't prevent, or is it just the PC version that broken?

When I use Xbox 360 stuff, I notice that the neons I'm choosing does not appear. And yes, I did download nfsmw unlimiter for the neons.

I’m using Xbox Stuff and I noticed something about the exhaust smoke.
Compared to the original Xbox version of NFS MW, the exhaust smoke here looks less bright and less vivid. In the Xbox version, the exhaust effect appears more glowy / punchy.

Right now it feels a bit flatter.
It’s not a game-breaking issue, just a visual detail, but since Xbox Stuff aims for Xbox accuracy, I wanted to point it out.

Thanks for the work, the mod is solid overall.

The N20 and the tunnel lights are not exactly the same. The Xbox N20 looks a bit more segmented, which is the style we’d like to achieve in the mod. Currently, the mod’s N20 appears more like a continuous strip, with fewer segments. Other than that, they are about 90% identical, which is excellent. However, there can be an issue where the N20 trail goes inside the vehicle, so a fix for that would be really nice. Also, as I mentioned before, a fix for the Golf’s right front headlight would be great.
