[Bugs]

1. "Attempt to Save Customization Failed" - usually occurs when car has a rated speed above 250mph (400km)
Primary Fix - Retune gear ratio slider all the way to left (short) so that car has speed lower than 250mph. You should be able to customize/tune your car now. Retune gear ratio to your preference afterwards. Always make sure your car has a rated speed below 250mph before customizing.
Other Potential Fixes:
Fix 2 (for all scenario) - Switch cars/leave & re-enter garage (might not always work)
Fix 3 (for Performance Customization) - Reset Peformance Customization and customize again.
Fix 4 (for Visual Customizatoin) - Reset Visual Customization (including wheels) and customize again.
Fix 5 (for Livery Customization) - Save livery into a new slot

2. Incorrect Speed Rating - The rated top speed and actual top speed may not match, specially when final drive & gear ratio is tuned to be low/long. Only a minor ignorable issue.

3. "Attempt to Save Customization Failed" (for liveries) - Usually occurs due to increased number of livery slots. Just resave the livery in a new slot to solve the issue.

4. Liveries applied to the wrong car - due to increased number of livery slots, some liveries might get applied to the wrong car.
Fix - Reapply livery/Reapply & save livery to a new slot.

Sorry mate, I don't have enough hp to record at good fps. But I'll try to put together a video for the next version, which should be out in about a month.

You have a video demo for this meow?

Need For Speed is safe to play with mods online. (don't blame me for unforeseen consequences though!)

Thanks for the quick response! Your mod Presets are awesome. Hard to choose only one. Everytime I start the game I choose another. The handling is so much better now what you tweaked. It was often a game breaker for me with Vanilla handling. Same in Heat or Payback. But now we can finally "race" and have fun. Little side question: Is it safe to play online forced by EA with frosty mods? I wonder because when I play Fifa Frosty modded I usually go offline to avoid ban. Glad to see your pics for an update.

Only apply one graphic preset. You'll have to close the game and apply another to change them. I actually spent quite a lot of time with all of them. I usually prefer to switch them around every time I play. Currently working on the next update, which will also include a few more presets. Here's a preview (early ss): https://imgur.com/XGkyh3I
