📋 About This Mod

After a long time, a few catastrophic events and a second server, we are finally back and stronger than ever. The UNITE team is hitting the streets of Lakeshore with UNITE Unbound.

DISCORD: https://discord.gg/bTGDXbaEnq

UNITE Unbound is a full-blown game overhaul that aims to push the boundaries of what's currently possible with the last pre-2. 0 version of Frosty Editor. This modpack aims to enhance many aspects of the game including time of day settings, cops, races and much more.

Full changelog below:

VISUALS

  • []The garage look has been revamped, with tweaks to its night time and day time lighting and textures.

    []Many billboards and adverts have been replaced.

    []Parts of the HUD have been redone through texture replacements and color shifts.

    []Visuals have been revamped across the board, removing excessive filters and offering tweaks to all 6 time of day settings and making them all part of the game calendar. The visual changes are as follows:

  • [] Morning: Now considered "midday", sun intensity and position, along with shadows and fog, have been greatly modified to provide a more natural look to the game's sunny setting

    [] Overcast: Now considerably more moody and dramatic, this offering directly contrasts the bright and natural look of the midday setting

    [] Dawn: Now considered "sunset", small effects have generally been reduced and the overall setting has been made brighter as it is now considered a daytime setting

    [] Midnight: This setting has been designed to look as cinematic as possible, making it the darkest out of all other settings but also making street lights brighter and bloomier in order to not hinder the racing experience

    [] Twilight: Now featuring a more blue-ish hue, inspired by the Franklin Terrace morning setting, one of the boroughs of Ventura Bay (NFS15 Map)

    []Dusk: Similar to our midnight setting, this has also been made darker, but only enough to appear more like a real night and not making it hard to see the world

These Time of Day settings will not be randomized in the game calendar. Meaning that for example, for any given week every Tuesday night during week 2 will feature the midnight setting and every Thursday day during week 3 will feature the overcast setting and so on.

SOUNDS

Maintaining but most importantly enhancing one of UNITE's biggest staples, almost all car sounds (engine, exhaust, induction, backfire) have been replaced/improved. Cars are now louder across the board, featuring louder backfire with rerouted and louder turbo and supercharger noises for different upgrade tiers. We recommend NOT messing with the tone exhaust tuning slider to ensure the best sound experience.

CUSTOMIZATION

  • []Visual car customization has been improved, featuring hidden parts, like Ana's Nissan 350Z bodykit and many more, being able to individually select every part of a bodykit to mix and match different ones and being able to apply different stock parts across variants of the same car. Many cars now also have brand new engine swaps, including a Rimac Concept_Two electric engine swap for all cars and 2 speed gearbox, LFA and Supra engine swaps, alongside drivetrain swaps and much more.

    []New rims are also available for all cars, featuring cut Infinity Rims and A$AP Rocky's Fifteen52 Holeshot RSR 3Pc rims for both front and rear plus a few original additions.

    []The "Custom Cars" dealership section has been updated with a plethora of new cars ranging from the AI's cars to other notable pre-customized cars from game updates and such. Have a look for yourself and see what you like.

    PURSUITS AND RACES

    • []Lakeshore PD's presence on the street has been reduced, making it much less common having to take the long way to a meetup, but massively ramped up the difficulty once in a high heat chase.

      [] More cop cars will show up, with more reinforcement waves in-between heat levels and more common tactical manouvers. At the same time though, throughout the story lower car tier events will barely increase your heat level, this can be used tactically in a way to get just enough cash per day through shorter lower tier events and not taking too much of a risk.

      []We still recommend to watch out for the Street Racing Unit though. They don't play around.

      []On the topic of races, 45+ new races have been added, including Lakeshore online races being carried into the singleplayer and fully original races made by the UNITE team featuring custom, never seen before routes.

      HANDLING

      []Speed limit has been removed.

      []Traction control is now a 10-step slider.

      []Downforce and steering sensitivity minimum and maximum values have been expanded.

      []Most cars' engines' max horsepower and final drive ratios have been tweaked.

      []Disabling Brake to Drift i
