NFSMW - Beta Content Mod

NFS Most Wanted (2005) - Beta Content Mod

A mod that returns almost every cut content from NFS Most Wanted (2005).
People saw a lot of things that were changed during the development of this game.
This mod restores a huge amount of beta content from all available sources that we have. Beta cars, races, menus, cops, etc.

NOTE: Install ONLY ON A COMPLETELY CLEAN GAME (recommended US/English 1.3 release with RELOADED crack). This mod DOESN'T SUPPORT ALMOST EVERYTHING, because it changes almost everything.
NOTE 2: NEW SAVE GAME IS REQUIRED! EVEN IF YOU PLAYED THIS MOD BEFORE!

For sure supported mods:

• Widescreen Fix
  
• HD Reflections
  
• HUD Resizer
  
• HUD Adapter

Sources & Materials

Mod can be installed in two different ways. Here's what each type of installation gives you:
>> Easy installation: Just unpack everything to the freshly-installed game and that's it.
>> Complex installation: Gives you a lot of optionality, but will take quite some time and brains to install.

======== SUPPORT ========
If you're having any problems with my mod: please first make sure that you installed it on a FULLY CLEAN GAME.
If that's okay and it still crashes or has serious bugs - you can report that on my discord server, in "bcm_general" or "general_en" channel:

Discord server link

If you're feeling that something isn't right in the mod in terms of content, you can also write that, though NOT TO ME, but in "bcm_general" or "general_en" channel on my discord server.
Why? Because it's just your opinion - I may not want to talk about it, but people on server may. Who knows what we will get in the end of conversation?

Is there any way to fix missing minimap routes and freeroam minimap?

ripley (September 01, 2022 @ 16:48)

Mod is having bugs Example: When i jump from old bridge game crashes

elaymm4 (August 29, 2022 @ 15:34)

@hiddenmask58 It's intended

hiddenmask58 (August 16, 2022 @ 02:53)

I got some small bug. During end of any race when you hit the finish line, the "whoosh" sound right before the photo and result screen, is missing. So now it's muted
