The goal of this mod is for enjoying Most Wanted with as much realism as possible.
In this mod are changes I have made for my own enjoyment of the game.
I have put many months into these changes.
I thought I'd share with the world so others could also enjoy them.
My Rules I set.
No cars newer than 2005, as is the timeframe of the game.
Including some 2006 models were released in 2005.
As much realism as possible.
Installation Instructions
Make sure you use the Installer on a Fresh/New Install of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005).
So much is modified, I cannot expect to work with any other mods.
You will Need One of the Movie files NTSC or PAL as well. Separated for Space Saving/Download Reasons.
As this requires NFS Most Wanted - Unlimiter with Extra Customization
I do not provide the necessary exe.
Instructions are listed here: https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/688
Look for: "! Before installation, make sure that you're using v1.3 speed.exe (5,75 MB (6.029.312 bytes))."
Summary of Changes
Most Graphics, Video and Music Updated to Higher Quality.
Fixed Graphical errors, higher resolution either through mods or creating my own.
Modders, if you see your Mod Listed in the credits list and want me to remove it, let me know.
Performance and Physics of cars edited for realism.
EA had incorrect stats on many cars, too much power, incorrect wieght bias, etc.
Stats, weight bias, Coeficiant of drag, Torque Curve, Gear Ratios, and tires.
Some cars may be much more difficult to handle now.
NOS does not recharge, as in real life. Use it wisely.
Cars are now sorted by performance. Adjusted Store Paint to match closely actual paint colors.
Of the Cars available before Blacklist 15, Sonny,
The Punto and will be very hard to beat him with the available upgrades at that level.
D-Day is modified, as I feel it adds more story and gives you more time to enjoy the BMW M3 GTR E46 ALMS.
Rog plays more of a role in D-Day as well as Black List 16.
Changes to Police and Pursuits
Police cars are more realistic performance, more accurate acceleration, and top speed.
It should be easy to outrun them with a high performance car.
Usually Undercover vehicles are modded with added NOS and superchargers, and also may have the speed governor removed.
Activated Heat Levels 1 through 10 with many changes.
The Cop Compact is based on a Ford Festiva, same as the Traffic hatchback and Pizza car.
Police Civic and Undercovers Cruisers are Modeled after the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (P71).
These cars come factory speed limited due to critical drive line limitations.
The Police GTO and Corvette are using the same vehicle stats as the player versions, just heavier by Police equipment.
The Light Rhino SUV is based on Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The Heavy Rhino SUV is based on USSV Rhino with a Ford 6.0L Turbo V8.
The Heavy Rhino Supercharged SUV is based on a USSV Rhino with a Ford 6.8L Supercharged V10.
Sgt. Jonathan Cross is driving a Supercharged Corvette C6 Z06.
Race Pursuits have been adjusted to allow Roadblocks, Aerial Support, SUV Support etc.
I just feel the other (AI) racers shouldn't miss out on all the Police things you have to deal with too.
Tollbooth and Pursuit Challenges
I didn't want to make the Chalenges too hard, nor are they too easy.
I wanted them to be Challenging. (Pun Intended!)
They are called Challenges for a reason!
Challenge cars assigned to the challenges by performance ranking.
Challenges Tollbooth times have been edited and times adjusted for the assigned Challenge Car.
Challenge Traffic Levels ramp up much quicker as well.
Challenge Heat Levels are adjusted per assigned Challenge car.
In the Pursuit Challenges the Starting Speed has been adjusted to be "challenging" but not "ridiculous".
The Garbage and Cement Truck Challenges:
I had to change the Trucks RPM ranges due to game limitations.
Be careful of the Garbage and Cement Trucks going uphill.
Game limits and physics their tires spin in first gear quite awful.
Shift out of first when they do.
They are immense fun just plowing through everything, though.
Cars
Car Modders, if you see your car in here and want me to remove it, let me know.
