Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Most Wanted Music Expansion





This mod adds all soundtracks from Most Wanted 2012 into Hot Pursuit Remastered, fully as additional music, extending the track list from 27 (Vanilla) to 72 total.

This includes the strings ported over from Most Wanted 2012, edited a bit to fit HP's formatting.

I will incorporate a pursuit music extension mod later, so there will be no further need to download replacement pursuit tracks.

This idea was inspired from a recent playthrough of Hardline I had done, and it felt like the games original soundtracks were lackluster for racing and way too short. You have 40+ events to complete, yet only 27 music tracks and 6 pursuit tracks. It's boring. This should make it more bearable to race in.

Installation Instructions:

Download the text file. It contains a link to the files on Google Drive (NFSMods upload limits are too small for the mod). Click download.

Simple drag and drop as always. Take the UI folder from the unpacked .rar file, and place it in the main game directory (game files) You will get a prompt to replace. Press Replace All.

Done. Make sure you restart the game if it is already open, as SONGS.BNDL gets hardloaded at startup.


If you have any issues contact me on discord: ron_art3st or my server: https://discord.gg/Q7uSce72EP PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING.......

No permission is granted for others to reuse/repost my work.

This mod replaces a prior useless mod I had for garage theme music. I will reupload it later if people care enough.

@lieutenantram

To bypass the crash, the game must be in offline mode, as the crash is entirely speedwall related. I'll patch Hardline's files next update so that speedwall isn't loaded and see if that works, and integrate the music into the mod files since it's already a vanilla+ mod anyway. Since hardline uses a modified version of the language file that's in the music mod, it's already fully compatible

@lieutenantram yes, turns out game does not like addon music. Unknown how to fix it yet. SuperType1's beta music mod suffers the same issue.

Sadly, from my experience, this mod causes a crash after the end of a race.

@Ryve there should be a tut pinned in my server by Swift. I didn't use his method but should work the same regardless.
