ENHANCED VISUAL DAMAGE - For NFS Rivals
Version 3.0 - February 2026
By Ryve_Ethan

Overhauls several aspects of the visual damage system to make crashes and impacts more cinematic.

OVERHAUL - Damage system
Various adjustments have been made to refine the damage system
- Accuracy : impacts will cause local and balanced damage on your vehicle
- Bodywork : parts will now swing more and break off as they take damage
- Chassis : textures from Rivals E3 have been restored and enhanced
- Sounds : collisions, crashes and landings sounds have been improved

FIXES - Vanilla issues
This mod fixes inconsistencies in the vehicle damage system
- Bodywork : damage won't revert after a crash camera anymore
- Windows : side and rear windows now stay broken after a crash

VARIANTS - All options
Several options are available to change the mod behavior
- Enhanced Visual Damage : default version where all the bumpers can break off
- Enhanced Visual Damage (More Breakables) : allows more parts to break off such as hoods and bootlids
- Enhanced Visual Damage (Less Breakables) : only some pieces of bumper will break off while the main part remains attached to the car
- Enhanced Visual Damage (Lite) : brings less improvements but ensures full compatibility with other mods

ADD-ONS - All options
Several add-ons are available to customize the mod
- Cops2Racers Compatibility : ensures mod compatibility & brings the improvements to the former Undercover vehicles
- Rivals E3 Compatibility : ensures mod compatibility & brings the improvements to the former Undercover vehicles
- Breakable Parts Durability (0.25-1.50 / Vanilla / Instant) : changes how fast the car shows visual damage
- Legacy Landing Sounds : brings back the landing sounds from the v2.0
- Default Chassis Texture : restores the default chassis texture

Note : the C2R and E3 Compatibility add-ons have 3 variants each as well (Normal / More Breakables / Less Breakables)
