Installation:

! We provide 2 different installation methods for both versions:
- Simple Installation: If you didn't install any mods to your game before, just use this method to replace the files.

Notes:

- Textures for "Replacement" and "Add-On" versions are different:
- Replacement version textures are either in DXT1 or DXT5 (according to the original texture). If DXT5, alpha layer is painted in 50% gray (#808080) to avoid excessive brightness because of premultiplied alpha blending.
- Add-On version textures are in DXT5 without alpha layers.

- For "Add-On" version and "Advanced Installation" method, there is both of premade Aaron config to use with vanilla game; and a text file which has what to add into your Aaron config if you have added plates before.

There are two other license plates... City of Riverton version from the Xbox 360 pre-release build of Undercover, and the NFS one used in the Wii & PS2 releases of that game.
