NeedForSpeed Overhauled
This mod focuses on optimizing gameplay flow and correcting technical engine limitations to provide a cleaner and more direct experience. The core of the project is the Q.O.L module, which introduces the following improvements:
- Performance & Flow: Removed the intro video, enabled instant vehicle loading in the garage, and increased respawn speed after crashing.
- Visual Fixes: Removed film grain and police light lens flares. Mitigated the wheel blur visual bug and improved the garage’s Visual Environments.
- Gameplay & Mechanics: Unlocked tuning for icon cars, removed crash cameras, and removed the repair icon at gas stations. Vehicle collision behavior has been recalibrated.
- Audio & Effects: Expanded the general volume range (music and SFX), updated nitro and exhaust FX, and replaced the moon texture.
Additional Modules
- CustomIA: Increases the general difficulty of the AI during races.
- HeavyRain: Sets heavy rain as the persistent weather condition across most areas.
- Only Scratches: Disables geometric body deformation from impacts while retaining the rendering for scratches and dirt accumulation.
- RainU: Overhauls lens flare effects and textures for rain droplets on vehicle surfaces.
Note: The previous "Handling Overhauled" has been removed as a superior version has been implemented.
