Be warned that you cannot reupload or include it in your own mod or modpack. Personal use is perfectly fine; the issue arises only when the content is reuploaded, whether it’s a specific mod feature, part of the mod, or the entire package. A lot of effort and work went into creating this mod, so please show respect and consideration. Thanks!

Can we add add-on cars after installing this mod? For me, add-ons that work fine on clean game, don't work any more: before using Ed only car model doesn't show up; after using Ed my game won't even start
