NFS: Underground - Enhanced Career & Difficulty Mod (Hard+ Mod)

Remember how it was back then when you played Underground for the first time casually? Well i tried to accomplish this by tweaking some numbers.
This simple Mod is for those who want a challenge and more fun in career mode. Now the gameplay feels more like the intro sequence of the game.

Small Update:
I played around with the traffic settings yet again. Get the last Version please, it's the definitive one. (NEW!)

The changes:
- Starting cash increased from 10.000 to 12.000

- Opponent skill increased everywhere (Easy=7, Medium=8, Hard=9 <--highest)
[Some of the early races have lower numbers to be playable]
[Drag events can be quite tricky but are still possible, tryout cars with high maxspeed]

- Traffic level maxed out (Set to 3 mostly)
[You obviously get also more Stylepoints in each Race, which unlocks vinyls much faster]

- Duration/Capacity increased for all 3 nitro levels (Level 1 nitro is now viable)

- Samantha and Eddy sprint race is replaced with a circuit
[Eddys final race is just legendary now, had so much fun playing it]

- TJ got another race track
[Lap number is still the same]

- Laps increased from 3 to 5 for Kurt's final 1vs1 race

- Laps increased from 4 to 5 for Melissa's final race

- For better variety you get your hands on some of the stuff earlier
(LVL2 mufflers are unlocked in the first circuit of the game)
(LVL3 tail- and headlights are unlocked in the first lap knockout of the game)
(LVL3 spoilers and hoods will be unlocked around event 70-75 now)
(LVL3 weight Reduction, suspension and nitro will be unlocked in the tournament around event 80)
(LVL2&LVL3 front bumpers, side skirts + rear bumpers are unlocked slighty earlier and together in a Set)

*Turn off stability control for the full legend of the street experience

Readme included
I also recommend to get "NFSU Extra Options"

As far as trying this out is concerned, I'm downloading the previous version before your latest one. That url in the latest update takes me to a random page and I'm not downloading anything else in order to get the actual folder of your mod. Please upload your mod here or on MEGA or Google Drive or whatever site that doesn't force us to download anything else.

I will answer myself. All the career data that I was looking for ended up in the file "FrontEnd\FrontB.lzc", it is easily opened by the Binary program!

Отвечу сам себе. Все данные карьеры, которые я искал оказались в файле "FrontEnd\FrontB.lzc", оно спокойно открывается программой Binary!

PLEASE! Tell me, what software did you use to make this mod? How many times I did not try to edit the resources of the game, I can not open them. Tried Binary_v2.8.3 and NFS-VltEd. They can not open the first part of the "Underground".

A very light mod! I passed it at a difficult level. We were surprised by the replaced 1-on-1 races, toafig city increased, a large supply of nitro. That's all I can say about him.
