Heat Gameplay Improvements

Description:

A mod that intends to make the game more fun to play.

You can now battle it out with cops without fearing that two-three cop hits will take you out. Not only can you now hit them back, you will also be properly rewarded for that!

But be careful, cops don't like getting hit either. Heat will build up faster if you take them down!

Progression has been changed as well to a more linear system.

Instead of a rapid career start with a hard grind waiting for you at the end, you now get to enjoy a proper amount of every part of the game.

Credits have been increased throughout the levels as well.

In the later parts of the game (especially after you hit level 50), you will be making a good amount of cash.

This means you are actually able to have some fun with building and trying out different cars, while still being balanced progression wise.
