Mods are great remedy to enhance the gameplay experience; However, users should be aware and responsible when using them excessively.

🔹 = Pros
🔸 = Cons

🔹Race event rewards will x10 times, including buyout amount
🔹Make easy money that can buy car visual customization
🔹Make easy money that can buy extra cars for another fresh play
🔸Earning money might become meaningless
🔸Player will stop playing soon = Quick end game = Low playtime hour

https://www.nexusmods.com/needforspeedunbound/mods/102
🔹Always start races in first position
🔹Increase a little chance to earn higher position in the end
🔸Make lesser chance to play overtake
🔸This doesn't make player become the first in the end

Rumors make us believe that the game is too difficult for everyone, but there is no rule saying that every player has to achieve first position in a race to progress. All players are allowed to advance in the story, even if they win at positions lower than first. The actual issue with obtaining a lower position in a race is earning less money, but Cash Mods have already solved this problem.

🔹Fast Travel to skip repetitive traveling
🔹Optional evade cops instantly
🔹Optional teleport to discovered collectible location (Filter in map display)
🔸Lack of chance to discover new collectible location
🔸Not perfect enough, might teleport "inside" of Mission Vehicle & Gas Station
🔸Player will miss the fun to explore the map
🔸Save time = Quick end game = Low playtime hour

🔹No repetitive evade police patrol on map
🔸Cannot have a chase on Free roam
🔸This mods might not work when cop already activated

https://www.nexusmods.com/needforspeedunbound/mods/71
🔹Remove 95% cop on the map
🔹Now, players can relax and free roam as long as they wish
🔸5% cop still appear from race event that already scripted
🔸Player might feel lonely while exploring the map

Wanted the normal smoke & remove extra animation while boosting? here the step without mods :P

Go into Garage ➜ Rides ➜ Style ➜ Driving Effect ➜ Original

* Testing on old version of mods still works on my PC, but I'm not sure working on every PC on this planet.
* There some others cool mods I didn't list them, because they doesn't work correctly.

Mods are safe to use, however sometime it has bug and spoil our fun. We just hope modders release a new patch to fix the bug, but if they don't, we are on our own.

* All winning rewards become zero, and finishing a race will deduce money, because of buyout rule.
* Mods is only working temporary
* Uninstalled mods & the mods is still exist

Here is my personal suggestion, if you found a better solution, please share with us :D

* Remove & Add Mods the mods again. Or else;
* Backup your data thru the mods manager and "Restore Data". But it will cost long time loading. Otherwise;
* If the problem still happening, Delete the files from installed folder:
1. Remove the mods from Mods Manager list
2. Delete: steamapps\common\Excalibur\ModData
3. Delete: steamapps\common\Excalibur\Data\mods.json
4. Verify integrity of game file on steam setting
5. And then your game will reset back to zero mods

1.Download "Frosty Mod Manager" from https://mega.nz/file/w7kjFSzJ#5ylMutftogwiUY9vHRxG1RxK33_tQ89RzFsw7Z02xSk

2. Unzip into any folder at your PC. (Eg. Downloaded Folder) The unzipped folder named as "FMM For Epic or EA" Don't worry it works on Steam too.

3. Read disclaimer if you wanted to be extra careful, the "readme.txt" is there.

4. Launch "FrostyModManager.exe" as Administrator

5. Select steam installed folder

6. If there is a error message, maybe you missed the latest version of Visual C++, skip this step if your PC already installed.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

7. Restart your PC and try again, Mod Manager should be working now, it will show up all the Need for Speed games that already installed on your PC.

8. Click the NFS Unbound in the list and click "Select"

9. There will be SDK profile update, but it will take forever to load, I would suggest you skip this part.

10. Click on the "Add Mods" to add-in downloaded mods (zip file)

11. Click on each mods from the list, then click "Apply Mods"

12. Click "Patch Game"

13. Once the mod manager finishes it will minimize itself.

14. Now you can launch the game

15. If there is a handler message, you can ignore it and continue load into game.

16. Done! Enjoy the mods :D
