Need For Speed Rivals+ is a mod that significantly improves the graphics, gameplay and many other things. Version 5.0 has been released with many big improvements regarding the Graphics, more E3 content, a bigger list of add-ons, bug fixes, and many more new changes that will greatly amaze newcomers or supporters. If you want to support me you can donate some money, go ahead. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=HA32Q8BRH4XSS

IMPORTANT:
- How To Install NFS Rivals+ Tutorial: https://youtu.be/yNm512Ddx7c
- Now when you are going to install Rivals+, you will see three folders with different graphics:
Vanilla 2.0 is a version with vanilla graphics but slightly modified (Removed film grain, chromostereopsis, improved HBAO & E3 Reflections)
v2.2 is a version with slight graphical changes (basically Contrast and Saturation) & modded fog
v3.2.7 is a version with completely new graphics.
v5.0 is a version with Next-gen graphics.

0. Collab with Cops2Racers & Heated :
- Cops2Racers is now compatible with Rivals+, make sure it's below Rivals+ when using both mods!! (I also tweaked the mod a bit since it needed it, BUT I still haven't managed to fix the C2R crashes that can happen, sorry about that. Hopefully, this doesn't ruin your Ultimate Reality Show experience too much.)

Can you make the racer car in to cops car pls

MLGmeow (October 25, 2024 @ 13:27)

Have to say that the v5.0 new added camara shake effect was awful :(

edumusaki (October 21, 2024 @ 19:31)

Make the police harder to escape, thanks.

jijfa (September 19, 2024 @ 12:26)

The cooldown time for escaping the police is too long. If the heat level is 6-10, it's almost impossible to escape, and the police keep spawning behind me. It would be great if they could fix the police respawn mechanics.
