Is someone else experiencing problems with Challenge Series? I have 3 Gold challenges remaining, but when I cross the finish line on any of them, the game freezes and crashes.

It doesn't happen with Bronze and Silver challenges, just the Gold ones.

@wojtulace as amazing and innovative and breath taking NFSCO is, unfortunately I can't make a mod pack out of it because it doesn't support ASI mods and you cannot mix it with other mods that change the game files. It would be nice if there was a single player gameplay overhaul mod similar to this one that still acknowledges the existance of Rockport and make good use of it in the career mode. I believe if Improvement mod was to have such an idea implemented, it could make the best single player experience.
