UNITΞ NFS Heat

//UNITE Heat 3.2:
- Fix for crashing at the mission "Breaking the Law" (Story Mode Compatible)
- Added EcoBoost engine swap to the Ford Mustang GT (Mainline only)
- Fixed McLaren F1 Black Market Challenge rewards not unlocking
- Reordered the sorting of the Range Rover SVR in the dealership; it should be beside the Defender now
- Fixed the Nissan GT-R Nismo not having additional customization options
- Reduced default tire sizes of the following cars:

- Nissan 180SX Type X
- Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am
- Mazda RX-7

//UNITE Basic Extended Stance Add-on:
After seeing feedback regarding the stance add-on and its usage with some vehicle types (particularly SUVs and pickup trucks), 3.2 brings the Basic Stance Add-on. It is essentially identical how to what it was on 2.2 and prior, and while cars can't go as low and "hotboi" as you can with the Extreme Stance Add-on, you can have lifted trucks and equippable air suspension alongside your stanced cars with this version.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THE EXTREME STANCE ADD-ON; YOU'RE FREE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO

- Fixed invisible backfires that only light up the car but no texture is shown, and done some slight changes so blue flames appear sometimes now
- Changed the ultimate twin turbo spool sound, so it has a better volume (and fits the bov better)
- Changed light sets so lights can light up the area in front of the car a little better
- Re-aligned lights in some cars; F40, 350Z, RX7

VISUALS
After the new Frosty update dropped, extensive modifications to the visuals were done, as well as allow us to do things we were not able to do so before. The main garage has been given an update and street lights are now able to cast dynamic shadows, which is evident when you go at night.

The following changes have also been done to the 3 daytime presets:

Overcast: A lot more moody and dramatic with distant fog and dark skies to resemble an incoming storm.
Midday: Now considered as afternoon, this comes with decreased saturation and long range shadows which helps hide some of the game's unfixable draw distance issues.
Sunset: The purple-induced lighting has been toned down and given a more natural look with warm colors, alongside a new skybox that enhances the visuals by a significant amount.

As with all Unite versions, the horrendous film grain and sharpening effects have been removed.

SOUND
On the sound side of things, a few unnecessary sound imports were reverted, as well as a few new ones for several cars using high-quality samples from GRID, Forza Horizon, and Need for Speed: Edge.

Sound mixing has also been tweaked to avoid artifacting on older samples taken from Black Box era Need for Speed games and uneven audio levels between using cars with vanilla and modded samples.

We highly recommend NOT messing with the tone exhaust tuning slider to ensure the best sound experience.

TUNING AND CUSTOMIZATION
Visual customization has been tweaked to include even more hidden parts on certain cars, as well as address a few issues that were present in 2.2. The stance mod is also now a separate mod thanks to the compatibility with the Frosty Mod Manager. It introduces better fitment on all cars in the game, so you can now scrape your car all you want.

Engine swaps have been extensively reworked and engines that only fit, make sense, or have otherwise been done in real life will be applied to the car (except for pre-existing engine swaps). Most cars also now have a brand-new engine option highly requested by the community: the Toyota 2JZ-GTE.

PURSUIT
The pursuit system has been completely reworked from the ground up and introduces better police mechanics and balancing. Police better adapt to your car level, as well as tweaks to roadblock and spike strip formation and placement. While lower heat levels may deceive you for being somewhat easier than it is in the base game, higher heat levels still crank up the heat and will give you one hell of a challenge - always be careful which car and setup you're going out in!

Check out this video for a showcase of these new cops:

HANDLING
James and Simon have pulled through again with an amazing handling overhaul. It provides a new challenge and experience to the game by replacing the standard grip, drift, and off-roading handling models completely, replacing them with more a more "simcade" feel akin to Forza Horizon and Need for Speed: ProStreet. You will also find new options in the Live Tuning menu to better fine tune your setup.

If you have played NFS 2015 with the handling overhaul before you will surely recognize again the way driving feels now. Throttle control, braking zones, drift angles, and general real-world racing mechanics all matter now.

STORY MODE
As with previous versions of Unite, a Story Mode compatible version has been created so you can be able to reexperience hustling by day and risking it all at night, taking down Lt. Mercer and the High Speed Task Force's shady operations. Vehicle unlocks have also been tweaked to better make sense with the car type; you're now no longer unlocking a Mazda RX-7 at REP level 4 and a Volkswagen Beetle at REP level 22.

However, expect this version to have several cars have some additional customization options taken out, as well as incompatibility with the stance mod due to the crashes in certain cutscenes.

MISCELLANEOUS AND QOL
A few quality of life updates have been given to the game to enhance the overall experience. Almost all vehicles have been renamed to give a better description on generations, chassis codes, and variants (particularly with classic cars), and extensive research has also been done to give awareness that a few parts available for some cars are directly ripped off of real-world parts (and to give concept artist Khyzyl Saleem better representation on his work)

Codes for Nightriderz NFS World server have also been scattered around the map. They bring different rewards to your account. See if you can find them all!

Good afternoon, please tell me do you have the opportunity to make a mod for NFS SHIFT to replace daytime music, garage music and night music? So that you can put your own music in each category.

Hello, is anyone else having this weird issue?

Although that's just one side, the other hand is heavily misplaced as well.

@HYPERXXX1998x It's actually in the works, it'll take a while since there's a lot of work to do, and we want to get it around where Unite Heat 3.0 base is, mind we started out in August last year with Heat, it won't take as long, but it'll take quite a while, specially since much people aren't on summer vacations anymore.

Can you do NFS payback too pls?

"Do what you want, 'cause a pirate is free, You are a pirate!"
Sorry, but this mod not working for cracks because you are just poor boy who does not have money to buy this game. Seriously, come back when you brought this game!
