For those who want to update their game/modpack from version 4.0 to version 4.1 (Easy Installation) without losing or bugging installed mods, car add-ons, and the HD HUD/UI mod, you need to copy and paste all "File" folders EXCEPT for the GLOBAL and FRONTEND folders, this way, the mod should update without losing anything.

The GLOBAL and FRONTEND folders were not changed or modified bc they have the same modification date they had a month ago, so there should be no loss when updating the mod in this way.

Hi. I am trying to download version 3.2 of this mod, but every link on the page redirects me to version 4.0.
Could you please provide a direct link for v3.2 or re-upload it?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot man. I'll definitely try it, although I'm using recommended settings from xbox stuff pack and without any other extra mods installed like HD reflections etc., aside from essentials like widescreen fix. But I will add it in the complex install version when I do.

And here’s a little bonus tip from me — consider it a small favor.
If the NOS trail (the red light trail coming from the back of the car) goes inside the car when you use nitrous, try these settings inside WidescreenFix:
FixNOSTrailPosition = 1
CustomNOSTrailLength = 0.54
NOSTrailPositionScalar = 0.52
I found these values through trial and error, and they significantly reduce the NOS trail clipping into the car.

Thanks for confirming the issues. About the FPS problem — here’s what gave me the biggest improvement:
• In HD Reflections, set ImproveReflectionLOD = 0
( This setting alone increased my FPS noticeably. )
• Then disable the rear-view mirror in the game settings.

High-quality rear-view mirror or FPS? I chose FPS. Hope it helps you as well.
