Overview/Explanation Video
New Game X is a brand new New Game+ inspired sandbox experience for Need for Speed Underground 2!
It brings the following features:
- Choose Your Own Adventure*: All cars are available from the start! Wanna start the game in a Supra? Go ahead!
- Underground Rivals: Events now feature tougher and crazier opponents with increased amounts of traffic!
- Endurance Racing: Circuit Races have transformed into intense endurance races as a result of an increased lap count and the previously mentioned tougher opponents and increased traffic.
- Full Freedom of Expression: All Visual Customisation parts unlocked for free right from the beginning and the Visual Reputation System has been removed! (Visual Reputation System removal was kindly provided by thelink2012)
- Mo money, mo problems: A fully overhauled economy awaits you in NGX as performance upgrades are tougher to earn and Hidden Races are more incorporated into the economy.
- A breath of fresh air: NGX features numerous quality of life improvements and also comes bundled with the Widescreen Fix by ThirteenAG and Aero, allowing for a more stable overall experience.
New Game X comes in two unique flavours, NGX Original & NGX Passion.
The only major difference is that NGX Passion preserves the original game's unique car unlock system.
*Only in NGX Original
Installation Instructions
Requirements: NFS Underground 2 updated to Version 1.2
You can update your copy of the game from here if you are running an older version.
- Copy and paste the contents of the 'Need for Speed Underground 2' folder into where you have Underground 2 installed (default-directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Need for Speed Underground 2").
You can quickly get to this by right-clicking on the UG2 shortcut on your desktop and selecting 'Open file location'.
- Make sure to override all pre-existing files.
- You'll then have to apply the US NFSU2 1.2 no-CD Patch created by HOODLUM. A no-CD patch is required to make the game work on Windows 10 but this specific one by HOODLUM is needed as it allows the Visual Rep fix by thelink2012 to function.
- However, I, unfortunately, don't think I can link this to you, but you should be able to find it by searching for "NFS Underground 2 1.2 NO CD HOODLUM" on any search engine. Make sure to override the original 'speed2.exe'.
- If you aren't able to find it then, as a last resort, you can play NGX without the Visual Rep Remover mod by going into your 'scripts' folder and removing the 'novisualrep.asi' file from that folder.
- But that's it! Simply run the game as usual and set the difficulty in-game to Hard, to get the intended experience.
Additional Note:
It is recommended that you back up all game files prior to this mod's installation so you can easily go back to the vanilla/unmodified version, should you face any issues.
This mod was not designed to work with any other mods, aside from the following.
Recommended Additional Mods:
NFSU2 Unlimiter with Extra Customization by nlgzrgn
NFSU2 Extra Options by ExOpts Team

Don't bother with adding Olympic imports. It only has one download link and it's broken and the creator of it doesn't seem to be around anymore. The only way to fix it now I guess is for someone who already has that mod to reupload it somewhere else so other people can get it again. and add a compatibility thing for it.

I've definitely considered making an alternative edition of NGX that comes bundled with some of the more popular, and arguably essential, NFSU2 content mods for sure, Olympic Imports definitely being one of them. So to answer your question, potentially! ; )
