r/NFSU2

i had just completed stage 2 and i am stuck on a 1.93 rating and i cant increase my car looks cause i aint got no paper left done doing build a mid car but trying to find some chums made is hard due to them not spawning

what do i do?

I feel disappointed by all these new games (Motorfest/Horizon/Unbound) every time I go in the customize body parts sections and they have like 3 or 4 customization options per menu (and they're so subtle too). Example->S13 in Motorfest->opens side skirts customization->sees 2 skirts🥀. It feels so out of place after looking at how NFSU2 or Carbon has 20-40 options on each body part. And it's even more frustrating when the oblivious new gen gamers go "wow there's so much customization potential" because the game let's you choose from 50-100 different rims and has a ton of aesthetic upgrades (paint/wraps etc). That's not really going to produce unique looking cars is it? I understand how it's difficult to have all this for 500+ in-game cars but why don't the tuner culture cars at least have a tuner culture-worthy plethora of customization options??

I'm on my third playthrough on a fully vanilla install, running Linux Mint and I want to use mods like EXOPS and Unlimiter, maybe some extra car mods and widescreen just to spice things up. I cant install the majority of these mods as the install scripts almost all fail with Q4Wine possibly due to using an incorrect runtime, or some other file management thing.

If someone could send me a file with their modded game and SPEED2.exe already set up, I would be able to run the executable through wine and it should work, and probably allow me to insert my own savegame into it.

I would do it myself, but I currently don't have a spare Windows PC to do it on.
