NFSMW Unique Opponents (Opponent PresetsRides)

This mod aims to overhaul the opponents in career races by replacing the randomly generated AI opponents with custom opponents with unique names and cars.
It was inspired by how AI opponents in career mode are handled in Underground 1, Pro Street and Undercover, as well as more recent installments such as Heat and Unbound.

79 opponent car presets
Unique opponents for all career races
Vanilla AI skill levels, leaving it up to you if you want to use a difficulty mod (this mod must be installed after any difficulty mod, otherwise the opponents added by this mod won't be affected by difficulty mod)
Some opponent cars will have neon (if NFSMW Unlimiter with Extra Customization is installed)
Race against Rog!

Made an account just to post this comment. Thank you so much for the mod, about one week ago I've finished a playthrough with Unique Opponents installed and I'll never complete a playthrough again without having it installed. The other mod that I had installed to make the game harder while playing with Unique Opponents was Blacklist Reign(installed last), and they are compatible. Someone on YT mentioned that he was working on a similar mod for U2.

And the WORST of all, are the first races, I don't even want to imagine what it must be like at more advanced levels, not even when facing the police, what the hell

Honestly, what the fuck?! The AI is literally cheating. When it tries to start a match with the first opponent on the blacklist, in the sprint race, no matter how many attempts I gave it, the AI literally ignores all the rules of the game, and you can see it going 270 km/h in the cornering section. Not to mention that in the last corner, it literally takes speed from the Holy Spirit, going from 20 km/h to 370 in the blink of an eye. I honestly don't know what's going on in your head

Not to be THAT request guy asking for everything in the world - only do this if you want to and if you have time. I don't want you to feel underwhelmed by what I'm going to say, and if you do I understand. But are we getting anything similar for U2 and Carbon "Quick Race" section?

Is it weird I want a version designed for Palmont Imports as well? (With opponents that use the cars added in that mod, such as the 240SX, Charger, Skyline etc.)
