Need for Speed Carbon: Ultimate Mod

Need for Speed Carbon: Ultimate Mod
This is a newer version of Ultimate Mod, not to be confused with the older version I uploaded years ago.
Please do not reupload or directly use any part of this mod in your own mod or modpack.
DESCRIPTION:
Hello! This is a mod of Need for Speed Carbon that almost reworks the whole game while still staying true to the vanilla experience.
For instructions on how to install and uninstall the mod, please refer to the README.txt text document in the 7z archive.
This mod heavily alters many parts of the game, but tries to keep the same premise & atmosphere of the game, so it's both a rework and an expansion.
All if not most changes made to the game by this mod are described below:
- The Career mode received a rework.
- It's now more linear and also more difficult.
- Some races have been redesigned, to make them longer, or to make them better, or both.
- Bosses will pose a bigger threat during their races. They even won't back down with just one city race.
- A new car list that blends the original cars with DLC-exclusive cars as well as brand-new ones.
The following cars have been added:
- Acura NSX
- Audi S3
- Audi RS4
- Audi TT
- Cadillac CTS
- Chevrolet Corvette C6
- Chevrolet Corvette C6.R
- Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
- Mercedes SL500
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
- Nissan GT-R
- Nissan Silvia S15
- Pontiac Firebird
- Porsche 997 Carrera S
- Porsche 996 Turbo S
- Volkswagen Golf GTI
- The cops have been reworked.
- They're now much more of a nuissance, as they will appear more frequently, placing a greater emphasis on using multiple cars throughout the Career mode.
- The Heat meter will rise even if you're racing during a pursuit.
- Their numbers have been amped up to attempt to overwhelm you.
- They can use every tactic at their disposal, including supportive tactics like road blocks and oncoming Rhinos during races. (Spike strips cannot be used during races)
- A new Challenge Series that will pose a greater challenge.
- Additionally, every Challenge Series exclusive track layout can now be unlocked in Quick Race.
- A brand new upgrade system, based on prior Need for Speed games.
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 cars are now able to compete against Tier 3 cars when upgraded to the highest level.
- Altered upgrade parts pricing & availability.
- Every car's performance have been rebalanced so that no car should be truly terrible.
- All Online Exclusive as well as previously unobtainable content is now available offline.
- Every player-available car (Trucks and cop cars as an exception) is purchasable, upgradeable and customizable in the Career mode and in My Cars.
- A new Reward Card page replacing the Online Exclusive Reward Cards with new offline ones.
- And more, miscellaneous changes.
- Almost every Special vinyl has been made available without toggling the option are almost all of those are made colorable.
- The STOCK vinyl group has been replaced with a UNIQUE vinyl group that has every single vinyl specific to a certain car.
- The ONLINE vinyl group has been replaced with a CREWS vinyl group that has every single generic crew vinyl as well as the full-body crew vinyls.
- Non-crew related vinyls in the former ONLINE vinyl group have been moved to the BONUS vinyl group.
- Bonus and Custom cars have been reworked.
- Car Paint is now less pale and more saturated to look a little more realistic.
- Black Rim Paint is now actually black.
- Light Window Tint is now actually light.
- View cameras have been tweaked to improve the game's sense of speed.

@RaTT thanks for advice. All working now like a charm :)

@bDevelop Did you unlock those cars? If so, you most likely are using a vanilla save file. Try making a new save file while Ultimate Mod is installed.@Red5 Unfortunately, Career unlock changes do require a new save file. Consider using a different car in the meantime.

Thank you for the response, but the Viper still remains inaccessible to me. I downloaded and installed your latest patch, re-did the event that's supposed to unlock the Viper, and did another event that unlocks a different car (Audi RS4) to see if that would fix anything. While I did unlock the other car, I still cannot see the Viper in any car select menu. I'd rather not have to redo my playthrough just to unlock one car.

Not all cars loaded. I cant find RS4 and some others. Any way of fixing that?

@Red5 It was an oversight. My apologies. It should be fixed now. Redownload the mod and install the new update.@G1D30N Try creating a new save file after installing Ultimate Mod. The issue with the uninstallation script should be fixed now.
