Terms of Use

Reading all of this is very important when using my stuff. Violating them will turn you into potential blacklist material.

My mods require hard work. Over time, I manage to create vehicles for Need for Speed game. By downloading my mods, you are agreed that:

1. You are allowed to reupload my mods to your site without my permission (unless it's in the blacklist, where in that case it is not allowed to reupload under any circumstances)
2. By reuploading my mods, please keep the archive content as is and credit me when reuploading.
3. You are not allowed to modify or convert my mods without my permission.
4. You are not allowed to create Addon-to-Replace using my mods as base under any circumstances.
5. You are not allowed to use my mods in your mod packs without my permission.
6. And if the mod pack will be paid, you are not allowed to use my mods in them under any circumstances.

Sites Blacklist

If the site appears in this list, I am not allowing anyone except myself to reupload my works here under any circumstances. These sites (usually those based in developing countries, notably Russia, Turkey, and Brazil) are proven to be too shady to be reuploaded.

• playground.ru¹ (reason: multiple people reupload others' work without asking first; based in Russia)
• modszone.net² (reason: notably violates rule 5 of Terms of Use; based in Brazil)
• nfs.gen.tr² (reason: well, people consider it as a shady site for reuploading anything without permission, so I'm listing it here as well; based in Turkey)
• nfsmods.ru (reason: full violation of rule 2 of Terms of Use (does not credit the original author and repackages the archives, which is off limits); based in Russia)
• modfix.ru (reason: partial violation of rule 2 of Terms of Use (credited, but the archive was repackaged, which is still off limits), based in Russia)

¹Can be only uploaded there if the person who is uploading is in the whitelist

²Inactive site

Users Blacklist

Aside from shady sites, these people are also proven to be untrustworthy, and as such, they are not allowed to do anything with my mods under any circumstances.

• Yura Pimenov/piman/Russian Streetracer Team/123пим (reason: leaked Hypercooled to playground.ru in May 22, 2023, uses not-suitable-for-games Hum3D models, and edited my works without asking me first)
• GAMETEST (reason: used my mods in a paid mod pack, thus violating rule 6 of Terms of Use)

The Whitelist

These people (and group of people) are exceptions from the rules, and they are allowed to do anything with my mods and reupload them to the blacklisted sites.

• NFS Pepega Edition
• NFS Hard Plus
• Project Reformed
• KryZee
• Ti-Sonic
• VeeTec
• NFSCFun

Frequently Asked Questions

Right, since many people were asking too many similar questions to me, this section was needed to be added here.

Q: How do I install this mod?

A: The instructions are listed in readme files.

Q: What is the game directory?

A: This is the folder where your game has been installed.

Q: I am having some issues during installation of your mod.

A: Make sure that:

• You use specific version of the game (NFSU2 - US 1.2, NFSMW - 1.3 (Official Russian release was not tested without patching to remove DRM), NFSC - 1.4 (the only version that allows the game to be played with movies on post-XP systems), NFSPS - 1.1)
• You installed the game outside Program Files folder
• You don't use ModLoader for addon NFSMW mods
• You are able to use Binary as you should, by running it in Admin mod and by having prerequisites installed

Also keep in mind that my old NFSU2 mods cannot be installed if the game was modified with Binary first.

Q: My game crashes when I try to put a vinyl!

A: 1024x vinyls on 512x livery system will have striped vinyl, while 512x vinyls on 1024x livery system will cause the game to crash. There are two solutions:

1. Delete the vinyls.bin file of your car, if it didn't come with 1024x vinyls. I cannot guarantee that I will update all of my current mods with 1024x vinyls.
2. Make sure that you selected the correct vinyls resolution.

Q: How do you rip all of these fancy car models?

A: If there is no good tool that allows their models to be ripped, then Ninja Ripper 1.7.1 is to the rescue. For games that do have a way to have their models to be ripped without Ninja Ripper, I use the following:

• Black Box NFS games (Underground 1 to Undercover and World): NFS-CarToolkit
• Slightly Mad Studios' games on older bff archive format (Shift 2 Unleashed, World of Speed): BffTools (unpacking the archives), Zmodeler 2.2.6
• Frostbite Era NFS games (Rivals, NFS 2015, Payback, Heat, Unbound): I use rips from GM25 and #GL because I don't own PC versions of such games
• Juiced 2: Zmodeler 2.2.6
• Xbox 360 Forza games (FM2 to FH1 and X360 version of FH2 including FH2 presents Fast and Furious): Forza Studio 4.6
• PC Forza games (FM6 Apex onwards, but taking models from FH3 onwards): 3DSimEd and MakeH2O (because 3DSimEd can't recognize LOD1 steering wheel for some reason)
• GTA San Andreas (I rarely use anyone else's mods as bases unless the person who made the model is dormant): Zmodeler 2.2.6, sometimes Blender with specific Import/Export scripts in situations when unlocking the car model with RW Analyze would corrupt the car model
• Drift Spirits: I use rips from various people, ranging from KHN7 to VeeTec
• Sega GT Online: I use rips I found when GameModels' site was still up

Q: Did you ask developers of the games to use their models? (it's a yes or no question)

A: People who ask this very question will have to talk to the hand (i.e. will be punched into the face), because, seriously, this is the most stupid question I've ever heard. All I'll say to it is always "no". Especially if the model comes from a game made by a now dormant company or studio. I don't want to hear this question ever again.

Q: There are no tires!

A: You are forced to install Unlimiter v4 (for MW) or latest version of NFSC Extended Customization. This does not affect NFS ProStreet or Undercover.

Q: Can you make [insert whatever here]?
A: No. There is Addon Requests forum on NFSAddons, but I cannot guarantee that I might make the what you want. I am still learning to make real-life vehicles from scratch.

Q: Make it replace [insert replaced vehicle here] please.

A: No. This is off limits. (I once did make my NFSU2 '74 Porsche 911 Targa replace Corsa instead of AE86 due to fan backlash, but other than that, it's yesterday's news)

Q: Why am I in the blacklist and can you remove me from it?

A: I explained the reason why you are listed in the blacklist. If you want me to remove you from the blacklist, then I can do that if, and only if you show some talent while also learning from mistakes.
