ABOUT

- Extra open areas
- Police Station garage
- Beta: Cut alleyways in Downtown
- Beta: Three garages in McClane and Downtown
- Beta: Animated flags, some signs and water features
- Beta: Boat and cruise ships
- Beta: Animated excavators in the McClane Construction Site
- Beta: Pursuit Breaker in Downtown (optional download)
- Beta: Cut Areas - Iron Mine, Preacher Lane, Maplewood Lane, Under Construction/Fairhaven Luxury Homes, Stone Drift Lane, Seneca Trail Road.
- Beta: Animated boat in McClane (Pontiac Firebird jackspot area)
- Beta: Flying helicopter in Downtown (Ford F150 jackspot area)
- Car repair spots in Iron Mine, Preacher Lane, Under Construction, Seneca Trail Road.
- Beta: Chance Street extension/custom connector road to Stone Drift Lane (enter via Chance St/Kruger Ave in McClane)
- Beta: King's Truck Stop on the I92 (Mercedes SLS I92 East jackspot area)

-----Added 9 June 2026 -----
- Beta: Solitude Ridge Road (Connects Iron Mine to the I92 near Hodges Airfield. Mitsubishi Evo, I92 North jackspot, head towards the Most Wanted #5 race location, look for the tunnel into the mountain)
YOU MUST USE THE INCLUDED ENVIRONMENT.BNDL TO PREVENT CRASHES AT SOLITUDE RIDGE ROAD because the vanilla BNDL is broken in that area. This ported Sven-Test Environment.BNDL (https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/6916) also works fine.

YOU NEED THE TERMINAL VELOCITY DLC TO ACCESS THE NEW CUT AREAS!
-------------------------

Only beta content that causes minimal interference with normal gameplay has been restored. Some things don't have collision, this is intentional. Beta content is taken mostly from Sven, FGH, HAWAII_MAIN_PC, anything.

INSTALL

Copy all .BNDL files to the Need for Speed Most Wanted\HAWAII folder and overwrite.

@SwiftZC33S Great mod. I have a question. Should I add white parking stripes to these cutout garages?

Ahh makes sense. Im guessing that will be tricky to connect to the highways. The District 3 "Highway Patrol" with the helicopters is quite interesting and how that part connects with every highway... wouldve been cool to see also. Im really looking forward to the Seneca and Wildcat trail road, some of those road layouts just remind me of Burnout Paradise. My theory is still, they scrapped their Burnout game in development back then and recycled a bunch of it in Most Wanted 2012. Stunning work & mad respect!

It would get in the way of the airport and/or overwrite some of it. The goal with this restoration is to have no interference with the existing map, that’s why everything has been moved upwards

Alright thank you guys for the answers. After playing the prototype (HHH and Bens - Jan 2012) myself today I was wondering, is it not possible to make the entrance to the dirt path faithful to the original, beginning not on the airport but rather on the highway and connect the highway entrances faithful to the original prototype? Or is that impossible/too much work due to how the game renders in the map parts?
