You can change multiple appearance elements and sounds from the mod's menu.
USAGE WITH "ENHANCED VEHICLE SYSTEM" MOD
This chapter only applies if you have installed Enhanced Vehicle System mod.
This car mod customizes the vehicle lights color. Therefore it will conflict with the default settings of EVS. This is because EVS automatically defines and restores vehicle lights color at some moments. Therefore it will impact other vehicle mods that modify lights color using script.
In order to preserve the mod features it is recommended that you perform these steps:
1- Summon the Yaiba Semimaru car and get into it.
2- Go into the EVS settings menu (Pause menu > Mods > EVS).
3- Go into the Lights menu.
4- Go into the Headlights menu.
5- Enable the Profile switch at the top. It will create a dedicated settings profile for the Yaiba Semimaru.
6- Disable the Auto-reset lights color switch.
7- Repeat the steps 4 to 6 for the Tail lights, Blinker lights, and for the Interior lights (for this one only the ambient lights are required).
