[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.

Do i need to buy or download the NFS original version?

Sebasboy15 (October 30, 2023 @ 05:01)

I can't get the mod to work. Everytime I try to launch the game through Frosty it just says something about "not being able to find part of the path". Can someone help me out here?

Noted. I've noticed the gears jumping (from 5th to 7th) if transmission is set to automatic. Gears work fine if cars are set to manual transmission.
As for unexpected performances, you should reset the cars before upgrading/tuning.
I'll investigate further, but to my knowledge, getting rid of these bugs essentially requires removing the gearbox upgrades (5,6,7,8 speed gearbox). I might do a simplified upgrades system for gearbox upgrades.

Explaining a bit better about the "Broken Gearing", cars like the Miata NA Jumps from 5th Gear to 7th Gear, also when the car gets on the 6th gear, it gets unable to run at it's max speed. Also, now that I remember, the Foxbody, never gets on the 8th gear when the 8th Gears Transmission is Installed.

Also, I'd like to say that I think the Handling needs some tweaks, it's awesome, but it's annoying that it's still present the broken steer assistance of the OG Game.

Damn, I missclicked. Welp, I'll continue in this other comment I guess.

2.- Sometimes happened to me that when upgrading cars, some performance parts better than I the ones installed previously in a car, make the whole performance of the car worse. But anyways, maybe this is just cuz' those cars have been modified before installing this mod.

3.- There are cars that have more gears than it should when installing the 6 Gears Transmission. Also, some cars have the gearing broken when installing that upgrade.
